Dear St. Veronica Catholic School Families,


As we approach the close of our first trimester, we take a moment to reflect with gratitude on the hard work and dedication of our teachers and students. They have been focused and diligent in completing assignments and preparing for the upcoming report cards, which will be available to all families through OptionC on Friday, November 22.


Next week, our students will come together to offer special prayers of thanksgiving and appreciation for the brave men and women who have served—and continue to serve—our country. We will honor our veterans during our Veterans Day Assembly on Monday, November 11, at 1:15 pm. We invite all families and community members who plan to attend to enter through the school office.


Finally, as we approach the end of the calendar year, we begin planning for the 2025-2026 school year. If you are considering enrolling a new preschool-8th grade student for the upcoming school year, please complete the survey found HERE. We are excited to welcome our new Vikings to St. Veronica in the fall of 2025!


Thank you, as always, for your continued support and partnership in the education and spiritual formation of our students.


God bless,

Stephanie Woodall, Principal

MORE EVENTS

Lunch Accounts

Please be aware that the school lunch program is a prepay system, not a credit system. Many families have either not yet set up their student's lunch account, or have only paid the negative balance without adding additional funds. Negative balances continue to accrue and need to be remedied as soon as possible. Visit the school website HERE for detailed instructions for using PaySchools Central.



Pray for Me Weekend

Second grade students, who plan to receive the Sacrament of First Communion, and their families may choose a Mass time the weekend of  November 16 and 17 that their family typically attends within our St. Mary Magdalene Parish Family. Families should check in with the ushers, Ms. Fothergill, or Mrs. Farwick in the Narthex upon arrival to church. Please see the Second Grade Newsletter for more information.



Canned Food Drive | Nov 16-17

The Outreach Commission of St. Veronica Church is sponsoring a canned food drive to benefit Hope Emergency, a food pantry in Brown County. They will use the items for their Thanksgiving distribution. On November 16 and 17 please bring your donations to the narthex during Mass at St Veronica. Hope Emergency is requesting the following items:

Peanut butter

Stuffing mix

Brownie or cake mix

Canned pineapple

Gravy packets – turkey or chicken

Canned sweet potatoes

Canned cranberry sauce

Canned pumpkin

Please no canned items larger than 15oz (except pineapple)



Picture Retake Day | Nov 19

If your student plans to retake their school picture, they may come to school out of uniform on November 19. You must send the original picture packet back with them on this day. If your student missed the first picture day, you may order and prepay online HERE or use the original order form.



Secret Santa Shop | Dec 1-2

Brought to you by St. Veronica PTO, this year's Secret Santa Shop will take place at school on Monday, December 2 for students in PS through 4th grade and on Sunday, December 1 between Masses. This fun event is an opportunity for your child to SECRETLY purchase Christmas gifts for the special people in their lives and even their pets!
