Parent-Teacher Conferences are November 21!

This year's conferences will take place on Thursday, November 21 from 4 to 8pm. You can sign up here--please look for your teacher's available slots to sign up for each specific class.

Middle School Parents (Grades 6-8) should sign up here with their students homeroom teacher only. This allows all middle school parents the opportunity for a conference. 5th Grade parents with who previously scheduled conferences with Ms. Morrison for Math will ONLY be meeting with Miss Peacock. Ms. Morrison will provide her with Math updates for the 5th grade.

Fall conferences are mandatory. If you cannot make this event or your teacher runs out of available slots that work with your schedule, please reach out to them directly to reschedule. Similarly, please also note that you will not find a slot for Ms. Hall, our Spanish teacher, Mrs. Baur, our Guidance Counselor, or Mr. Gutche, our PE teacher. If you have concerns or questions for Spanish, Counseling, or PE, please email those teachers individually and set up a time to discuss your concerns. They have limited availability due to their part time schedule. Thank you!

We've Made Some Updates to the School Store!

We have added long sleeve Carolina Blue polos to the school store and are making a few other items "approved" for Mass so you can have a lot of options to keep your student warm in church in the coming months. We 've also added a sweater option to the store! Please refer to the Visual Guide sent out in previous newsletters to help you understand what is and is not allowed to be worn at Mass. You can also view a PDF here.

In addition, we have added some items for Christmas, including some items for Grandparents (pictured)! Please check out the store here and cross off some early gift shopping!

The drop dead date for Christmas orders will be December 6. This would guarantee you will have your items by our last day of school before Christmas break, Friday, December 20.

The Stewardship Committee Would Love Your Help on Name Tag Sundays!

The Stewardship Committee will be holding Name Tag "Sunday" on the weekends that we have Hospitality. We're still a small committee and haven't started recruiting members yet. Rather than the 2 of us working the name tag tables all weekend, we are hoping that school families could help.  There will be 2 tables in the Gathering Space at which we’ll have name tags, markers and signage (you won’t have to do the set-up). We’ll need at least one person at each table.

Tasks:

• Arrive 30 minutes before mass (we want to make sure that the folks who come early to mass are greeted too)
• Stand at the table and welcome parishioners as they come into mass
• Encourage them to make and wear a name tag
• Have a friendly, upbeat disposition
• Greet and make small talk with your fellow parishioners

Kiddos and other family members are welcome to help too! Please click on this sign-up genius to sign up for November & December. More dates coming soon!

If you're going to be at mass, why not help out? All we ask is that you come to mass 30 minutes early, stand at one of the tables, welcome your fellow parishioners and invite them to wear a name tag!

if you have any questions, please contact Sue Ruedinger.
