Spirit Wear - Ordering deadline extended through Sun., Oct. 4!
Don’t forget to place your spirit wear orders TODAY! This is your only chance to order Crusader hoodie sweatshirts in time for the winter, as well as the black Crusader t-shirt in time for the Steps for Students 5k walk/run on Feb. 20, 2016. The black Crusader shirts will be our official CtRCS team shirt on Steps for Students race day!
The hoodie is an approved uniform item for the casual uniform (e.g. not on Mass days), and students will be allowed to wear the spirit t-shirts periodically through the year.
Be sure to share the link with your family and friends and spread the Crusader spirit! We will continue to accept orders through Sun., Oct. 4, so don’t delay and order today!
Note: Spirit t-shirts are different from the field trip/field day t-shirts that you submitted sizes for over the last 2 weeks. The field trip/field day shirts are paid for by your activity fee, feature our STREAM graphics and is a different color per grade level. You may view the spirit wear graphics on our online ordering site.

Before/After School Care - Important Parent Information
Parking Restrictions for Pick-up
Our children are very important to us, and for that reason, it is of utmost importance that we obey the parking restrictions on our campus. The red fire lane along the curb, as well as the areas parallel to the orange cones in the back parking lot, are no parking zones. Parking in these areas when picking up the students can be a dangerous situation that we can easily avoid by obeying the law. Please help us protect all our children and park in a parking space.
Late Pick-up Fees
"All children must be picked up by 6 p.m. If a child is late being picked up, the charge is $5 per minute, starting at 6 p.m. (Christ the Redeemer Catholic School Clock Time). This fee should be paid directly to the after care staff upon pick up."
Now that the school year is in full swing, this policy will be strictly enforced. Should an unforeseen situation arise, please notify the BASP staff of any alternative arrangements by calling the BASP cell number.
