Our second grade classes did a wonderful performance of the Living Nativity before Christmas!

St. Mary's Visitation Parish School's Mission Statement

St. Mary's Visitation Catholic Parish School exists to direct children toward God and toward Christian Service to society through Catholic religious formation, academic challenge, and continuous improvement.

Happy New Year!


Dear Families,


A school year is different than a calendar year. We all had our new year back in late August. For a school, some abstract computation, like 2024 for example, is in many ways just a number; whereas our unit plans, seating arrangements, classroom routines, and relationships built with students, are so much more real and lasting. Still, the break with Christmas and New Year’s, and the turning of the calendar, can in many ways feel like the start of something different. It's like we’ve already been swimming in the pool and are thoroughly soaked, but we haven’t jumped off the diving board yet. It is that excitement that we all come back with-we’re refreshed, we’ve reflected, and we all have a thing or two we are now willing to try.


Soon, there will be a lot of interesting and exciting things going on, and we can’t wait to tell you all about them. For now just know that we are rested and eager to say “Welcome Back.” It is good to be here


God bless.


Mr. Siggy Spelter

Principal

A New Year's Resolution -

Return those Library Books!

If getting organized and cleaning house is one of your resolutions, good for you! You can help us out as well by looking for and returning any library books. Our shelves are emptier than they should be right now.


Please go through those rooms and backpacks and bring back the books. We appreciate your help with this.

Thank you Mrs. Lambie!

Mrs. Gina Lambie has been the Coordinator of our After School Care program for a number of years. She is stepping away from that role and with working in ASC at this time to focus on her health. We may see her back in some capacity in the future. We hope so and wish her all the best!
