Let us know what you think about the name. Should we change it?
New Staff
We have several new staff: Steven Lang, Janice Marco, Joe Garcia, Chris Montoya, Natasha Lavroushin, Alyssia Blea and possible several more!
If you are new to Santo Nino this year, there is a new employee orientation at the Catholic Center in Albuquerque on August 3rd from 9am-12pm. Maybe we can carpool together? There are a bunch of us!
We are still currently in need of another kindergarten, 1st, and art teachers. If you know anyone, have them send their resume to Dirk Steffens at dsteffens@santoninoregional.org.
Faculty Staff and Our Familes Potluck Lunch
This is a pot luck lunch for faculty, staff and our families. It is a wonderful time to build the family atmosphere together as we move forward to a wonderful new school year! Also, PTO is putting together some door prizes for us! How fun is that!?
Let Christine Lopez know what you would like to bring. Her email address is clopez@santoninoregional.org.

Lip sync Challenge
Have you seen the police Lip sync challenge? We are going to do it in honor of the police. The first week that we are back (after August 6th) we want to do a lip sync in honor of the police and donate $100 to a police charity. We will then challenge all the other Catholic schools in the Archdiocese to do the same.
What song you ask? Well, see below. Father John suggested this song and I think it fits perfectly! Start thinking of how we want to lip sync and dance with a few of the priests in the area. This is going to be so much fun!
Thank you!
August 6th-10th
We are working on several ideas for our first week of school. My current thoughts are to have professional development in the mornings and then you can work in your classrooms in the afternoon. We will get more information out to you as the schedule comes together. Some of the topics we are looking at are:
Technology-Class Dojo, Google Docs, Groupme, Sign-up genius, and MSP.
Curriculum & Grades
Lesson Plans and Scope and Sequence
School Security
Restorative Justice
Jesus Chair
I wish my Teacher knew...
If there is anything else you can think of, please let me know!
Speaking of August 6th-10th
It's about you!
We need a short paragraph description about you! What is your background, education, hobbies, etc...and why do you do what you do?
Once we get this newsletter set up for families, we will highlight 2-3 people each week so our students and families get to know us better. Write something up and send it to dsteffens@santoninoregional.org.
