This week I relearned how to play capture the flag and had an opportunity to play the game with the fourth graders during lunch. We had a great time. Today, I received an email from a High School Student that is willing to coach our Lego robotics team. All we need is a parent to be there to assist him and be the adult responsible for the team. I believe he pretty much runs the club, the parent is there to assist with supervision. On September 30th we will have a free dress day.

If your student takes any medication, you must fill out the authorization form for the school to be able to administer any medication your child needs. Volunteer Information
Make sure to label your child’s water bottle, and any outer wear they may be bringing to school (i.e., sweatshirts, coats, etc.). If these items are left in the cafeteria, or playground, then we will be able to return them to your child. New This Week
Smartwatches Many students wear watches that can access apps on their phone. Students are not permitted to use a smartwatch to access mobile apps or the Internet, or to send and receive messages (text or call) during class periods. Elementary and middle school students are not permitted to use smartwatches for those purposes anytime during the school day. Violations Students who violate these rules are subject to disciplinary action, including surrendering their phone or device to the school office until the end of the day. After repeated violations, a student’s phone or device will be held until a parent or guardian picks it up at the office. We recognize that it can be challenging to manage personal device expectations throughout the school year. We are committed to working with students, families, teachers and administrators to meet these expectations and provide the best learning environment we can. If you have not done so, please read the handbook and sign the last page. Turn in the signed copy to your homeroom teacher.

Welcome to a new school year. I am very excited about this school year and cannot wait to see all the students Tuesday morning. I feel like a little child on Christmas Morning.
I wanted to send out a revised calendar, because I was just informed that there is a Diocese training for teachers that is scheduled on October 11th. As a result, I have made a few changes to the calendar. Also, the first day of school we will not have hot lunch, please provide your student with a lunch from home. You may send your student with a snack. October 11th – Inservice day no school November 8th – ½ day Inservice day and Grandparent’s Day January 17th – will be a full day Sorry for any confusion. Click here to signup to meet the new principal. There is a limit of fifteen families per night. Remember when you are dropping your K – 8th grade student off for school, the drop off is by the parish offices. If you are going to get out of your vehicle, please park in a designated parking area. Your student will go immediately to the gym/cafeteria and sit with their class. Preschool/Prekindergarten – when you drop off your student please park your vehicle in a designated parking area, then walk your student to their appropriate classroom. You will not need to sign in at the office if you are only dropping off your student. We're excited to announce that we have moved our Spirit Shop to a local company, In the Zone Ink. Please purchase all of your Spirit Wear, Uniform Sweatshirts, Polo Shirts, and Accessories on this site. The school will not keep any inventory on site except our trucker hats, mugs, and bumper/car decals. All orders will be delivered and distributed at the school by the third week in September. Samples of all spirit wear will be on display at the BooHoo Breakfast and will remain on display in the main office until September 11th. The site is currently OPEN and will close by September 11th. This will be your only chance to purchase logo'd apparel and accessories until mid January.
