Going Above and Beyond In Learning and Serving
| | |
A Note From Mrs. Hibler:
We are gearing up for our busy season! We never want to wish time away, but Halloween marks the end of the first quarter, then conferences as we head toward Thanksgiving break, and before you know it Christmas will be here. Please stay on top of information being sent out through our weekly school newsletter and from your child's teacher.
We have another day off of school coming next Friday, October 24th, for the Diocesan Teacher In-Service "Ministerium Day," growing in their faith during Mass with Bishop Woost and a presentation; others who are not attending are part of our Safety Committee and will be focusing on continued plans, procedures, and documentation.
As required by the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA), we are notifying parents, teachers, and employees of the availability of the St. Jude School asbestos management plan.

Lost and Found
The lost and found table is overflowing with school books, sweatshirts, jackets, and water bottles. Please have your student check there if they are missing anything. Parents, items that are labeled will be delivered back to your student, but sadly, nothing is labeled; please take a moment to label items. Unclaimed items will be cleared on October 29.
