Hello Families of Father Allouez Catholic School,

September is beginning to wind down which also means that our Star Testing window is also coming to a conclusion as well. Once the data has been received and analyzed, a students report will be sent home to all families with a letter explaining the results. This report is going to look different from what you are used to seeing and will have only one point of data to look at first. Over the span of this school year, the report will also allow you to see the trends of achievement in the form of a plot point chart so that you can get a real feel and understanding of how your child(ren) is/are doing on these tests as opposed to having to decipher it yourself. Of course, if there are questions once the report is sent out in a few weeks, please do not hesitate to reach out to your homeroom teacher or to the main office as well.

Upcoming Important Dates

9/19/24: SAC meeting @ SMS campus

9/20/24: Third Friday Count. This is a very important date for our school, and GRACE. Therefore, please ensure that your student(s) is/are at school on time so that we have the most accurate attendance count as possible.

9/27/24: Star Testing window closes and Half-Day of School. Teachers and staff will be participating in a professional development opportunity in the afternoon, so school is out by 11:15AM at the St. Matthew Campus and 11:30AM at the Resurrection Campus. Please plan accordingly for this day.

Peace,

Mr. Francis Dempsey

Principal, Father Allouez Catholic School

If you have any questions, please contact Wendy Gierczak, Food Service Administrative Assistant.

All Students are eligible to take hot lunch for $3.85/day and an extra entrée for $2.65/day!

 If the entrée is not to their liking, they can always sub a turkey and cheese sandwich for it. 

Any Student that is feeling extra hungry can always purchase an extra entrée in addition to their lunch, just let your Teacher know in the morning to mark it on the lunch sheet.

An example is they really like chicken nuggets, a regular serving size would be 5 chicken nuggets, an extra entree would give them 10 chicken nuggets along with everything else on their tray.

Important Warning from Brown Co. Sheriff’s Department –

         Speed Check on Beaumont Street

Officer Jason Vogel wants drivers to know that he has been conducting a speed check on Beaumont Street approaching the St. Matthew Campus in the mornings. There have been some cases of high speeds between 7:30-8:00 AM. He will continue to do speed checks and will ticket if necessary. Please remember to slow down and stay alert any time you are in a school zone!  Our children and families’ safety are paramount.

Thank you for driving safe!

An Important Reminder for Parents of Bus Riders:  

If you haven't already given us specifics, we ask that you ALWAYS communicate directly each day when your child is not riding the bus. The message must come from a parent or adult family member, not a student. Otherwise we have to assume they are riding the bus. Please notify the homeroom teacher or school office by 2 PM, if your child is NOT taking the bus that day.. It will make it much easier for the teachers who supervise the bus contingent at the end of the day! Thank you.

If your child is interested, additional information is available at RES office.
