Principal's Letter
Fall Conferences Sign up

Good evening, families and happy Conference Week!


It has been wonderful seeing so many of you around campus, and I look forward to seeing more of you tomorrow. During conference time, we hope that your meetings are fruitful, and provide ample opportunities for your children to reflect on ways that they want to grow and thrive, and set goals for themselves. As educators, our mission is to help your children to achieve their goals, and support them in their development, spiritually, academically, behaviorally and beyond. Our partnership with you as families is irreplaceable, and one that when done with unity and collaboration, helps students to know that they are wrapped in support and guidance. I am tremendously grateful for the fantastic teachers and support staff we have at Guadalupe, and know that they each put their hearts into all that they do, including preparing for conferences, and prepping the students to lead them. Thank you for making the time to be present. 


This Saturday is the Halloween Carnival, and you’re in for a great treat. The PO Halloween Carnival Committee has been working hard to bring so many wonderful things to life, including bringing back a Haunted Hallway, and for those 21+, even a beer garden! We hope that you can join us to celebrate the fun and festivities of the season, and to witness the lucky middle school student who gets chosen to even pie me in the face for best costume! 


Speaking of Halloween, for those who are new, or who are unaware of the Halloween customs around school for Tuesday, October 31st, the guidelines are below: 


Halloween Attire and Costumes:



  • ELC-4th: Costumes or school uniforms
  • No weapons, masks, violence, or gore. No “adult” or inappropriate content or apparel (review “free dress” guidelines in the handbook if you need more context). As parents/ guardians, use your judgment and general school appropriateness. As principal, if I determine that a costume is inappropriate, your child will be sent to the office to change into uniform. 
  • 5-8th Grade: No costumes. Halloween colors (orange/ black/ purple/ green) or school uniform. No costume ears, etc.


For ELC- 4th, there will be a parade around 2. If you would like to attend to see it, please let the teacher know directly. This will likely include you volunteering to help with any class party that may be occurring. What a fun way to accrue some service hours! 


Lastly, as a school, we prefer to be a place of learning. The past few days, we were learning how to handle lots of sickness. That said, just a reminder to please stay at home if you are sick! We are working hard to keep the many viruses affecting a few students from spreading to the many. This week, there were quite a few students with abdominal pain and low appetites which can signal norovirus or the flu, both highly contagious. And in the last weeks step and covid are still making the rounds. Please take precautions to keep the many safe and stay at home. Stay at home at least 24 hours after fever or vomiting (without the use of medications). Whether you are feeling ill or not, frequent hand washing with soap and water helps everyone to stay healthy. 


Happy Conferencing to all!

With Gratitude, 

Ms. Lauren Hobbs

Partners in the Gospel

Question: What does Partners in the Gospel mean for staff?

A: As parishes form into families and then eventually one canonical parish, there will inevitably be staff changes. How Partners in the Gospel will impact a specific staff role will certainly depend on the makeup and needs of the new parish family. Parish leaders are urged to move slowly and take their time in determining the needs of a parish family – especially as it relates to staffing. The reality is that some positions may consolidate. It is important to remember that the goal of this effort is to renew parish life and doing so will require many people. There are many open positions across the archdiocese and many new positions will be created through the Partners in the Gospel process that will provide opportunities for staff to bring their gifts and talents to a new community. A team in Human Resources is exploring ways to help support people who may be displaced through this process by matching them to other open positions in the Archdiocese.

Remembering Our Loved Ones Who Have Died

The Catholic Church has a long tradition of remembering those who have died during the month of November, beginning with the Feast of All Souls on the 2nd. You are invited to join us for Mass that evening at 7:00 pm to celebrate all who have died, but in a special way your own loved ones. A light reception will follow. Also, besides those we remember on our All Souls Banners, people traditionally submit names of family and friends who have also passed away to also be included in our prayers for the month (sometimes with a donation)Sign up online or contact the Parish Office

And always more to see on the OLG Parish Website
