Friday Lunch in Lent Update

As we embark on the solemn season of Lent, we would like to remind our school community of our commitment to observing the Catholic tradition of abstaining from meat on Fridays. As such, starting this Friday, we will not be serving meat during lunchtime. For those students who participate in our beloved Pizza Friday lunch program, we have made special arrangements to ensure a seamless transition. In lieu of the usual chicken nuggets, participating students will receive one or two slices of delicious pizza. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we embrace the spiritual journey of Lent together. May this season be a time of reflection, growth, and community for all.

Uniform Update

Uniform Vendor Change for 2024-2025 Academic Year - we're excited to announce that we are transitioning to Dennis Uniforms as our new uniform vendor, offering the same uniform with added affordability and reliability!


Students can continue wearing their existing uniforms, but as you plan for next year, please keep this change in mind. Dennis Uniforms boasts a user-friendly, mobile-responsive shopping platform, along with a fast order processing and shipping timeline. Please note that our uniform closet remains well-stocked and open for your convenience.


Our dedicated online school uniform store will be open starting in May (you can create a profile now - www.dennisuniform.com, school code DDC010), promising a smoother and more cost-effective uniform purchasing experience. Stay tuned for more info this spring!
