School Council
Very Important event to attend on Catholic Education . Archbishop Richard Smith will be presenting Nov 5 at 7:00 pm. See poster below for details. What can be done to preserve Catholic Education for future generations? Please try to have one parent attend.
Halloween Parade
The Halloween Parade is @ 1 pm on October 31st in the school gym. All families are welcome to attend the parade. Please sign in at the office. Please note the Halloween costume guidelines: PLEASE HAVE STUDENTS COME TO SCHOOL IN THEIR COSTUMES. Students are NOT to bring any weapons that are apart of their costumes, no knives, swords, axes, etc. Thank you for understanding.
After School Student Pick Up Arrangements
It is very challenging for the school staff, to redirect your child to how they are going home after 3:00 pm when the bell goes at 3:11 pm.
Please make any arrangements earlier in the day as needed.
Also, any communication regarding drop off and pick up that is new or different for your child please put in the agenda. This informs the teacher.
The staff uses the agenda to confirm your child's pick up direction and information.
Also, if someone is newly assigned to picking up your child, we need the name of the person picking up your child and we will be asking for photo ID to confirm.
