Dear Families,

Your children have made it through the second day of testing! Hooray! Please applaud your students for their efforts this week. Testing week can be stressful and anxiety-inducing. While all of our teachers encourage all students to do their best, say a prayer, and check their work, many worry about the results. Know that, as a school, we primarily use these results to make school-wide curriculum and professional development decisions to drive instruction for the remainder of the year. By administering the test in the fall, we can make immediate proactive decisions that meet our ultimate goal of improving student learning. 

Remind your students that I am so very proud of them too. Keep up the early bedtimes, healthy breakfasts and positive attitude!

Only By His Grace,

Veronica Tucker

New this year: tutoring will begin at 3:10pm and end at 3:40pm.  Please pick up your child from tutoring at the main entrance of the school no later than 3:40pm.

Email your child's teacher for specific details.

Our "Wild Wild West" Book Fair will begin Friday, September 15th, and run through Friday, September 22nd, from 7:30am-3:30pm in the library each day.   This book fair is a fundraiser for our 8th graders and their end-of-year activities.  

It would not be possible without our parent volunteers. THANK YOU to all our volunteers who have already signed up!  We still have a lot of shifts to fill. 

As a volunteer, you can sign up to help the little ones complete their wish lists (Friday, the 15th), help with the cash registers (they are really very easy to learn and easy to use!), help during BookNic, which will be very busy, and/or help set up or tear down the book fair.  This is a great way to 

get involved and it's fun!    Please sign-up here.  Please feel free to sign up for as many shifts as you want!  Thank you!

General Mills wanted to create a program to help support education and benefit America's schools - and so, Box Tops for Education™ was born.   By clipping Box Tops SAS can earn cash to buy things such as books, computers, playground equipment and more.  Collecting Box Tops is a fun and easy way to make money for our school. Each one is worth a dime for our school.

We are no longer accepting Campbell Soup Labels. Campbell has discontinued this program.

A group of parents meets weekly for fellowship and to pray the rosary on Monday afternoons.  We meet at 2:30pm in the faculty room.  Please contact Jeanne Murphy,  [email protected],  for more information or to be included on a Monday reminder text.
