GOOD NEWS BEARS

Week of August 26, Vol 2, Issue 3

Dear St. David Families,

What an amazing first week of school! We are so grateful for your support in making it such a success. It's been wonderful to see our students settling in, and we're excited for all that this year will bring.

This week, we look forward to Back to School Night on Wednesday. It's a perfect opportunity to connect with your child's teachers and get a glimpse of what's in store for the year. Attendance is mandatory.

If you haven't completed your disaster forms yet, please do so as soon as possible. These forms are essential for ensuring the safety of our students. We will need them for our evacuation drill this year. (See link below for the form).

This week, we're challenging all our Bear Families to show how you embody our theme: Bear Strong: Together We Achieve. Whether it's working together on a family project, volunteering in the community, or simply supporting each other at home -- we'd love to see how your family comes together to achieve great things! If you'd like to share, please send in a photo and/or a description of your family's activity.

Yours in faith,

Mr. Swanson & Ms. Medrano

We look forward to seeing you on August 28th at 6pm in Rose Mello Hall for our Back to School Night!

Please note that attendance is MANDATORY!

FAMILY/ STUDENT HANDBOOK

Our St. David Family Handbook is an important resource that outlines important policies, procedures, and expectations for the year. Please take note of some of the changes such as lunch deliveries, attendance, and on-campus visits. Please take the time to review it thoroughly with your family and students. It will help ensure a smooth and successful school year.

Family/Student Handbook

A Note from PTG:

Place article copy here. Be sure to make the articles short and concise as people tend not to read much more than a couple of paragraphs. Place article copy here.
