Back to School
Now that a full week of school has passed things are getting back to "normal" at St. Ignatius. The first few days we spent time with our homerooms, our prayer buddies, and faculty building relationships that will last all year. We ended the week with our Opening of School Mass on a beautiful September Morning.
Over the next few weeks you will hear about our afterschool activities and clubs beginning to start back up after the COVID shut down. Information will be included in the Wednesday updates.

Back to School Night
Our Back to School Night is scheduled for September 29th at 7pm. The evening will begin in your child's homeroom with a session focused on the homeroom specifics. There will be two other sessions scheduled that evening for you to visit other grades and teachers for their presentations.
On Back to School night In the cafeteria we will have information tables for Home and School, CARES, CYO, Scouts, and others. Feel free to stop by at any time during the evening.

Musical Theatre 360 Update and Registration!
We are so excited to have the Musical Theatre 360 Program at St. Ignatius!
This year Mrs. O’Hara and Miss. Allen will be producing a “Broadway Revue” for Kindergarten - 8th grades. Mrs. O’Hara is bringing Musical Theatre 360 to St. Ignatius for the first time this year. Our hope is to build toward a full Broadway Musical next year.
The tuition for this year’s program is $225. The tuition for additional siblings will be $150. The tuition covers 12 weekly 2 hour plus sessions teaching stage craft, singing, dancing and acting. As this program is independent of St. Ignatius, the tuition will cover all production costs necessary for the performance including costumes, set production and sound. The performance is scheduled for Friday, February 11, 2022 at 7:00 PM.
The deadline for registration has been EXTENDED to Sept 24. Rehearsals begin October 8 with a parent meeting following the rehearsal.
For more information on how to register please see the attached flyer below.
Note: If are registering for the sibling discount you will need to fill out a form for each child online. Payment in this case will be in the form of a check payable to: Shelly O’Hara, which you can send in to the school to the attention of: Musical Theatre 360.
