From the Principal

The Lord is my light and my salvation.

Psalm 27

Hello Everyone!

Yesterday we were honored to welcome Bishop O’Malley who celebrated our school mass. Each class presented him with a card to welcome him.

Parent Teacher Conferences are scheduled for April 3. You should have received a link yesterday to sign up for a time slot. Here is the link for your convenience.  

Beginning March 20, 2025, teachers and students (Grades 4-8) across the archdiocese will have an opportunity to participate in the 5Essentials Survey. As a parent, you also have the opportunity to share your thoughts on the important elements of school effectiveness in a survey about St. Emily School. Please see this informative letter about the survey. As a parent, you also have the choice to not have your child take the survey. Please use this form if you do not want your child to participate. The students will take the survey at school after Spring Break.

Congratulations to Max Boone, 6th grade, who placed 1st in the Knights of Columbus Regional Free Throw Competition last weekend. He heads to the state competition on April 27!



Congratulations to the Band students on their performance last evening at the concert.  Thank you Mr. Sanoshy for all your hard work!

Ms. Booth
