Hot Lunch starts Monday, August 23rd!
We are happy to inform you that all students are eligible to eat school lunch free of charge beginning Monday, August 23, 2021.
How is the school able to offer free lunch to students?
The school is able to offer free lunches to students through a nationwide USDA waiver. The lunch provider,FSP, will receive federal reimbursement for all students who eat lunch.
Do I have to sign my student up to participate in the free breakfast and lunch provided by the school?
No, you do not need to sign your child up to participate. All students who would like a hot lunch will receive one. Teachers will ask at the beginning of the day who wants hot lunch.
We will notify parents if the federally funded program is no longer available (at which time we will begin charging students for meals again).
Growing with God: Safe and Sacred
Developed to meet the needs of dioceses, parishes, schools, parents, and children, Growing with GOD: Safe and Sacred™ is a multi-faceted, innovative K – 8 child safety and family life program that is solidly grounded through Church teachings and the Catholic faith. This practical and systematic approach to child safety and social and emotional development is based on the belief that protecting children from abuse is the shared mission of families, churches, and communities. Children are empowered to respond to troubling and potentially dangerous situations using the strategies and techniques they are taught as part of the program and to see themselves as children of God, inherently deserving of respect and care.
This program fulfills the keeping kids safe requirement form the Archdiocese of Chicago. If you do not want your child participating in the program, you need to let the school office know as soon as possible.
Volunteers Needed!
To be able to volunteer at our school, you must complete all Protecting God's Children Requirements. (See below) All volunteers must wear a mask, except if supervising outdoor recess.
