Principal's Newsletter
From the desk of Mrs. McDevitt
September 18, 2020
Dear Families,
We had a terrific first week. We had a great celebration for our opening.
Our drummers were playing and socially distant. Our cheerleaders were there to welcome everyone with a cheer. Back to School Night was a success for grades pre-K and K. It was wonderful seeing everyone. We are almost through our first two weeks and I am very proud of our students.
Please review the newsletter. It is filled with important dates and upcoming events.
Thank you for entrusting the care of your children to us. Let us continue to pray for the health and safety of all the members of our school community and parish.
May God bless you and your families,
Mrs. Sandra McDevitt

Parents remember to monitor your child's health everyday. The attached link will provide guidelines to help you.

Please send me an email along with your child's teacher if this is needed and we will make the arrangements depending on each circumstance.
