IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
Dismissal will be altered on Thursday, May 19th. As this will be the last day of school for our cherished 8th graders, they will be chauffeured around the big field of the playground waving and tossing candy to their admiring fans.
Because of this 8th grade parade, the east dismissal lines and the preschool pick up lot situated between the big and little fields will be closed. Parents of students in K-5 are encouraged to either come about 5 minutes late to pick up, plan on parking and waiting for the parade to end or if you normally pick up in the east lines, park in the rectory lines.

COVID-19 Updates

***Our COVID-19 policies have changed for the remainder of the 2021-22 school year.
Individuals who have tested positive for COVID-19 are required to complete a 10-day isolation period beginning with symptom onset (or positive test).
Parents will be notified by email when a child is identified as close contact of someone who has tested positive for COVID-19.

- St. Mary’s Funeral Luncheon Ministry is looking for new members. Serving includes fixing a side dish & delivering it to either the church or the loved ones home. This could be done at drop off if convenient. Usually you will only be asked to help 3-4 times a year. If you are interested, we also need servers to work a couple of hours during the luncheon. This is usually during school hours.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Please consider joining this beautiful ministry! I know you would love it!
