The new school year is right around the corner! Father Shawn, the faculty, and I are looking forward with anticipation to the return of students this week. On Tuesday we will welcome our PreKA, PreKB, and K students for a half-day of school (dismissal at 11:00 am). On Wednesday, our students in grades 1-8 will join us for a full day of school. Please see the Important Upcoming Dates of this memo for the full schedule for the first week of school. Enjoy the last lazy days of summer!

Facilities Projects
- new cafeteria floor tile
- repainting of cafeteria, main entrance foyer, library, grade 4 classroom, and grade 5 classroom
- broken floor tile replacement
- new fence in schoolyard around the air conditioning equipment for the Church
- fence repairs, sign repainting, and new mulch in playground area
- landscaping and grounds cleanup
And our major project, replacement of all windows in the school, is nearing completion. Though it would have been ideal to have the entire project complete prior to the start of school, this was not possible due to the size of the project. As the final work is completed, Fr. Shawn and I will work closely with the project foreman to ensure minimal disruptions to the school day.
