FACTS – Confirmation Emails for Tuition Payments Sent

All school families have been entered into the tuition management system and you should have received a confirmation email from FACTS setting out your tuition amounts and payment plan. If you have not received an email or are not aware of your payment plan, please promptly contact Joyce Haberkorn via email at joyce@saintvincents.org. Thank you.

New Family Handbook and Parent-Student Handbook

Please note that handbooks will be forthcoming the first week of August. The New Family Handbook helps to orient families to the culture and practices of the school and can be a helpful tool in the transition. Please look for this in August.

Please note the following calendar change for coming school year 2020-2021.

October 5, 6, 7 will be regular school days

October 8, 9 will be parent teacher conference days

The Google parent calendar is marked correctly

If you have already scheduled a vacation during this time, thinking that it would be a fall break, please do let your child’s teacher know at the beginning of the year. When the calendar was first set, the teachers/staff were going to use three professional development days this week, but we have cancelled (or delayed) those plans. Those three days will need to be inserted into the calendar as non student days, but we think it is wise to see if they could be used strategically should restrictions re-emerge.

Athletics

Registration for the Fall CSAL season is available to families. This Fall, CSAL will be offering 3 different athletic opportunities:

Cross Country-available to boys and girls in grades 5^th through 8^th
Coed Flag Football-available to boys and girls in grades 3^rd through 8^th
Coed Volleyball-available to boys and girls in grades 5^th through 8^th.

To register, go to www.csalden.org, click “Register Now”, then select your child’s school.

We have tentatively scheduled three Cross Country Meets (September 9^th at Bishop Machebeuf High School, September 24^th at Holy Family High School, and October 10^th at Mullen High School). We are looking at other potential sites for additional Cross Country meets.

Flag Football is a coed sport for students in grades 3^rd through 8^th. Games are played on Saturdays beginning September 19^th, double headers each Saturday, and concludes on Saturday, October 10^th. The Championship game is scheduled for October 17^th.

This marks the first year CSAL is offering Coed Volleyball for students in grades 5^th through 8^th. The season begins Monday, September 14^th and will conclude on Monday, October 12^th. There will not be a post-season tournament. All matches will be played on Mondays.

As we begin to plan the for the 2020-2021 School Year, we are hopeful to offer a wide variety of activities, sports, and events to our students. Our primary goal is to ensure the safety and well-being of all our student athletes. Federal, State, and Local recommendations will be followed and strictly adhered to.

Please contact your school’s Athletic Director or main office with any questions.
