A SNOW DAY, A DELAYED VALENTINE'S DAY,

PK100 DAYS 100 WAYS, AND A MUCH NEEDED VACAY!


This past week, we celebrated St. Valentine by LOVING an unexpected snow day! The wintery weather and road conditions made a safe commute to school somewhat questionable, and therefore all of our Valentines festivities were postponed until Tuesday. Our red, pink, purple dress down day, the Grade 8 Guessing Jar fundraiser and any planned classroom festivities/valentine exchanges definitely remained highlights of the week, albeit later than expected! Our preschool students, who started their school year a bit behind our K-8 students, enjoyed their 100th day of getting smarter Fun activities including creating 100 legs on a caterpillar and cup stacking were just a few!


Our four day week was "crammed" with MAP Growth testing for our middle school students, and classroom instruction/projects as we "got the most" out of the shortened week before enjoying our February reprieve. Upon our return from a much needed break, our focus will shift to the importance of our Lenten journey. Plans to bury the Alleluia, as well as the consideration of our Lenten sacrifices will greet us after a much needed and appreciated week away from school. 


Enjoy the break & God bless!

PLEASE MAKE NOTE

From the

Health Office:

  • MASK UPDATE! Please click here to read the Diocesan response to Governor Baker and DESE recommendation to lift the mask mandate as of 2/28/2022;
  • Please realize that many staff members and possibly students will be wearing masks upon our return from February break. From our experience, an increase in positive cases has been the norm upon our return to school. While we are ready for our "new normal", proceeding with caution will be the choice of many.

Thank you for your understanding as we continue to navigate these ever changing tides!

LENT is certainly on the horizon, and will literally be "on top of us" upon our return to school after the break!

From the Office:

**Extended Statements for January and February will be sent home the first Friday of March. If you'd like one earlier than that, please let me know.


**If you have completed re-enrollment you may have noticed that you are being asked to set up a payment plan in FACTS, where you may not have had to do that before, and even if you have. This is a Diocesan requirement and a step that must be completed by all families, even those who elect to be invoiced in August, or have had agreements simply rollover in the past. For those families, FACTS will NOT charge the account set-up fee. If you did not complete the tuition set-up step, your re-enrollment packet is most likely not submitted on our end. If you're unsure, please check the packet status in the Family Portal. It hasn't been without issues, so please let us know if you have any questions/problems. 

-  Thanks! Mrs. Reis

Fly on the Wall Heard in the Hall....


The fly was stuck in an office for much of the week, flying around in circles trying to get out.... Finally today, while whizzing down the hallway, the fly's heart was warmed by a chorus of preschoolers exclaiming to their teacher how much they loved her and that she was the best teacher!
