Wildcat Weekly
Final 2019 - 2020 Newsletter
We Made It!
Over the summer, the construction on the school will continue. The new temporary office is at the back of the parking lot in the learning village (what we lovingly call our portable classrooms). It is the building that faces the parking lot. Our summer hours are 9-1 Tuesday through Thursday. If you need to drop something after hours, you may still use the mail slot at the front of the school in the circle drive.
I want to congratulate all of our students for completing their studies this year. To prepare for next year, and prevent summer slide, it's important to keep our minds working! Students may continue iReady through July 23rd. Our younger students can still use their SuperKids resources as well. And, please continue to read, read, read! Fluency (the ability to read accurately, fluently, and with expression, recognizing words automatically) is the number one predictor of a good reader. Please continue reading to your students and having them read to you. We do have a summer program, see the attachment below.
We are still enrolling students for next year. Early bird registration will end on May 29, 2020. During this time, we are waiving any credit card fees should you want to pay the registration fee without coming in to the office. The registration packet can be dropped in the mail slot or our return book bin outside the temporary office. I have included a link below to the registration packet.
Also, positive word of mouth from current parents is our best advertising! If you know of a family looking for a wonderful school community, please share the word and the new student inquiry link below! During Catholic schools week, we sent out referral cards for $50 off registration (limit 2) for current families if a new family registers, and we will certainly still honor it!
It has been a pleasure being the principal at St. Catherine this year. Even though the school year did not go as we had hoped, I am very proud of our students, teachers, and parents! You have done a fabulous job "subbing" in and helping your students grow as learners. Hopefully, this will be a one-time thing! However, we will be prepared should we have to start school with any special measures to ensure the safety of our students and teachers.
Please read the rest of the newsletter for important last-week information. I pray that you have a wonderful summer. I look forward to seeing you all in August for another terrific year at the greatest school on earth!
Yours in Christ,
Dr. K. Renee Tolin
Principal
