  • Don't forget the MO Scholars Luncheon tomorrow from 11:30-1:00 in the Baum Room at the Chancery.
  • Principals if you have not yet sent your letter of intent form in to Kerry, please do so NOW. It is imperative that we have this form as soon as possible. The letter can be found in this attachment.
  • Sherri will be promoting your Open Houses on Social Media. In order to help her with this, please fill out this google form.
  • Please let Kerry know if you have a special event planned for Catholic Schools Week that you would like the CSO to be a part of.
  • Mark your calendars for the third and final round of Iowa Flex for this school year.  Iowa Flex will be administered Feb.13 - Feb. 24 for 3rd -8th graders for reading and math.  
  • Please join Bishop Johnston for the Seedtime Mass on February 4, 2023, at 10:00 am at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. Your school/parish is invited to bring packets of seeds for a blessing before they are planted this spring! If you would like to hold your own prayer service to bless seeds during Catholic Schools Week – you can find a service guide here.  A parish bulletin announcement for your use can be found here. More information for this special day can be found here.
  • We are now in the verification process of Nonpublic Registration. Schools should be checking their portal and working with LEAs to have their enrollment and economic deprivation counts (if applicable) verified. The deadline for Verification is February 28th. Please work with your LEAs to complete this task as soon as possible. Sometimes challenging situations arise and it is much easier to work through them if we have time. If you have questions or concerns, please reach out to Nicolette.
