Dear Parents,

Our September stewardship project is in support of the fair. Students will be coming home with the list of donated items needed to create the wonderful fair baskets that are raffled off each year. Please consider sending a donation to make these baskets amazing. Also, don't forget to sign up to volunteer. All parents are expected to volunteer for one shift per student.

Mrs. Fontenot

We are excited to extend this invitation to our school parents, but due to limited space, only one parent visitor can attend per quarter and the following guidelines must be adhered to so we can accommodate all parents who wish to eat lunch in the cafeteria.



Parents who wish to eat lunch with their child must:

• Sign up on the Sign-Up Genius before Monday at 12:00 noon.
• Only those parents who have signed up are allowed to visit the cafeteria.
• Due to space, one parent visitor is allowed per quarter. Please do not sign up for more than one visit per quarter as this blocks other parents from signing up.
• When signing up, include whether you will purchase a plate lunch from the cafeteria or bring something from home so the cafeteria can plan accordingly.
• If you are not purchasing a cafeteria lunch and are bringing food into the cafeteria, the Child Nutrition Program does not allow food that is wrapped or marked with commercial/fast food labels in the cafeteria.
• For safety reasons, siblings are not allowed.
• Because this is a special time for parents to be with their child, parents and their child will eat together at the designated visitors’ tables/spaces. Other students must stay in their regular seat assignments.
• Upon arrival, parents should sign in at the school office and receive a visitors pass. Parents should walk directly to the cafeteria when their child’s lunch time begins. When lunch is over, parents should walk directly to the office and sign out.
• Parents should not follow students to the classroom or activities after lunch.
• For the privacy and safety of students, cell phones are not allowed to be used on campus for personal reasons. You can take a picture with your child, but it must be outside or without other students in the background. Please enjoy this cell-phone free time with your child.

We hope you enjoy this time together with your child and appreciate your cooperation and willingness to follow the guidelines above.

Lunch price - $ 6.30 (check only) - no lunch charges for parents that forgot their checks at home

Retake of school pictures is scheduled for Wednesday, September 27. Girls in PreK - 5th grade must wear white blouse under their jumper if they plan to have their picture retaken.

Swim:

The swim team competed in their first meet of the season this past Saturday and it was a great first meet for our Dragon team! We had 9 swimmers place in the top 8 of their events, 2 overall event winners and one record broken! All swimmers are working hard this week as they prepare for their next meet on Friday, 9/29 at Crawfish Aquatics! 

Cross Country:

It was another fantastic race for the Dragons in Brusly this past Saturday! The blazing sun did not stop our boys from placing 1st and the girls 2nd! It was a tremendous effort on a tough and long course! The team will be taking on a new course in Central this Saturday. Boys will start at 10:45 and girls at 11:15.

Good luck to all the runners!

New 2023/2024 Athletic Pass:

It’s not too late to purchase your 2023/2024 Athletic Pass for entrance into all regular season home athletic events this school year. The cost of the pass is $100, this includes all processing and transaction fees so your total at checkout will not be more. The pass is only sold for individuals and for the entire year, at this time we do not have passes for each sport season. This is completely optional, we know for some the cost might outweigh the convenience of having a pass and we will still be accepting cash at the gate for all events. The pass will not be accepted at tournaments and please remember it is only good for contests at St. George. You can purchase the pass using this link: 23/24 St. George Athletic Home Pass

GO DRAGONS!!
