A Note from the Principal
Thank you to the many families that supported Sunday's Parish Food Truck and Family Fun Event. The weather was beautiful, and everyone seemed to be having a good time. We look forward to growing this event next year.
Monday, MAPS testing continues and will run through September 30th. The results are valuable tools for our teaching staff to address learning gaps and growth opportunities. Test anxiety can be a real issue for some students. Please discuss with your child(ren) that feeling anxious is normal. Reinforce that proper rest, fueling your body with a good breakfast, and coming to school with a great attitude are all helpful. As always, students may bring mints in a baggy. Please remove and discard wrappers before bringing them to school to reduce noise and distraction.
We look forward to sharing these results with you. Should you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact your child's teacher directly. Let's go, Browns!
Godspeed,
Mrs. Hibler
Butterbraid Sales Have Started!
Late Work Policy Reminder
St. Jude School teachers make every effort to post homework to GoogleClassroom by 5:00 pm each day.
Attention Preschool Families
A few reminders
Here are a few reminders now that school is in full swing:
- During morning drop-off, kids should be unbuckled and have all their bags ready before pulling up into the lane. If your student needs extra time or help, please pull over to the church lot and meet the staff at the crosswalk.
- Tardies are being issued for students arriving after 7:45am.
- Uniform reminder that boys may not wear earrings (in any grade level).
- Gym uniform clarification - hoodies are allowed to be worn on gym day, but may not be worn during gym class (safety issue), so all students should have a gym uniform t-shirt on underneath.

CYO OFFICIALS ACADEMY IS NOW ACCEPTING CANIDATES
Dear CYO Parents:
We are excited to work with you and your family in our 86th year of CYO in the Diocese of Cleveland. CYO is in the Memory Making business where children have fun, make friends, and grow in faith through sports. Parent's weekend and Team Mass Sunday is on Sept. 25.
Please make the time to watch this video to learn the latest in CYO.
There is a dire shortage (nationally/locally) of officials in all youth sports. Consider becoming a certified basketball official and get HS students to become an official through our CYO Officials Academy. Stand Up & Speak Up to ensure parents at all CYO games treat officials with dignity.
Thank you for all that you do to bring our CYO mission and values to life. Join us in praying for all of CYO's children, families, coaches, and officials.
Peace be with you.
Dr. Dobie Moser, CYO Director
