Iowa Tests and Cogat Tests This Week
The IOWA Tests of Basic Skills and COGAT Cognitive Abilities Tests begin today. The areas tested are reading,  writing, and math.  The results will be available in late spring. It is important that your child eats a good breakfast and gets plenty of rest during testing time. It is also important that your child is on time for school each day. Any questions concerning testing can be directed to the teacher.
Tuition Assistance Deadline: March 15

Reconciliation March 10
The Sacrament of Reconciliation will be celebrated for all students in grades 3-8 tomorrow. Pastors from the local parishes will be here for a Prayer Service and confessions.
Health Reminders and Coronavirus Plan
Our school is cleaned and sanitized nightly by our cleaning service. We remind the children throughout the day to wash their hands and provide sanitizer in every classroom. 
Please remember to call the school office to report your child's absence. If your child is sick, PLEASE keep him/her home! A child must be fever free for 24 hours in order to return to school.  A child must have gone 24 hours without vomiting in order to return to school.

If you are called by school personnel to come to pick up your child who is ill, PLEASE pick them up within 30 minutes of the call. This includes the students who attend the after school  program. Please put a plan in place for pick up under these circumstances.

In case of the inevitable and we are forced to close due to the Coronavirus, All Saints Catholic School has a plan in place so that your child's education will not be compromised.  Grades 3-8 will receive and submit assignments through Google Classroom and grades K-2 will receive assignments directly from the classroom teachers via email.  All parents should check their email throughout the day as well as visit the teachers' websites and the school website for additional information.

There will be an early dismissal on Thursday, March 12. It is a planned teacher in service day. The extended day program will be available until 5:45PM.
