Fall Clean Up
It’s that time of year again! We are looking for volunteers to help with the ‘All School Clean-Up’ on Saturday, August 17th from 9am to noon to get our campus ready to welcome students again. Everyone is welcome and we would especially love to see some of our older students helping out as well!
Come help out that morning for as little or as long as you can. Please bring your own gardening gloves and shovels or clippers for weeding.
Please email Shannon at shannondanitz@gmail.com with any questions.
We will be helping out with mulching, weeding, and other needs around the school. Thank you in advance for your help!
Here is the sign up link for volunteers: CLICK
First Days of School
Next week, we’ll welcome back our teachers during the beginning of the year in-services on August 15-16. We have a mixture of returning and new teachers and staff and look forward to beginning with our incoming students on August 26! Our school list includes 19 new Preschoolers, 18 new/transfer student in K-8 and we welcome 10 new faculty/staff members. Mark your calendars for Back to School Night which will be an opportunity to meet everyone and hear from your child’s teacher: September 3 (Preschool through 5th) and September 5 (Gr. 6-8)
Our first day of school is a half day for Gr. 1-8 with dismissal at Noon. Preschool and Kindergarten have a separate schedule which will be communicated to you by the teachers.
Class lists will be viewable on FACTS on August 23.
Year of Faith/Eucharistic Year of Mission
This school year we will be following the Virtues in Practice Year of Faith
- students and teachers will be studying the virtues of faith, reverence, stewardship, generosity, gratitude, honesty, mercy, justice and zeal.
The 10th Nationwide Eucharistic Congress occurred this summer in Indianapolis. Check out the highlights on their official website HERE
Being Prepared for School
It’s now time to pull out the red, white, black, or navy school socks, schedule those back-to-school haircuts (hair should be natural color), remove nail polish and freshen up your plaid jumpers and skirts! Help us get the small things in order so we can be about the bigger business of learning and growing from the first days of school. Please especially review the following pages of our 2024-2025 Parent Handbook to refresh your memory on the following topics:
Mission, Educational Philosophy & Beliefs – p. 7
Attendance Policy – p.18-25
