New COVID-19 Guidance
Parents/Guardians should have received a letter this week from the Archdiocese of Chicago explaining the latest guidance on our "return to school" procedures for the 2021-22 school year. If you have not seen it, please click on this link to view the message. I understand that the masking policy is different than what was advised just a few weeks ago, but flexibility is a necessity with the ever-changing nature of the pandemic.
Since the new guidelines still allow us to return to something close to "normal," St. Stan's will be following them closely. Below, you will find some general information on the guidance that we received and will be following as long as necessary. (Click the images to enlarge them)

Sangria Festival 2021
We are in need of volunteers!
This annual festival is a great opportunity for you to either volunteer or attend for the following reasons:
- Makes our school more visible in the community
- A portion of the proceeds go to support the school's academic programs
- You can have some learn, unwind, and have a little fun!
If you are interested in volunteering for the event, please contact Kelli Battaglia at kellimarie1229@gmail.com or Vanessa Barrios at Berrios.vanessa78@gmail.com
