From the Principal

Go out to all the world, and tell the Good News.

Psalm 117

Hello Everyone!


Thank you very much for your flexibility and willingness to pivot during the Central Road construction project. 


We received target dates for the construction and I wanted to share these updates with you.  These dates are subject to change and weather dependent.

Friday 10/11

Concrete poured in West driveway

Monday 10/14 (no school)

West driveway should reopen

Tuesday 10/15

Middle and East driveways closed; access East parking lot from Horner Lane

Wednesday 10/16

Concrete poured in Middle and East driveways

Monday 10/21

All driveways open; may be blocked temporarily when the street is paved

End of October, early November

Project completed

Morning drop off procedures will remain the same as we have been doing this week until further notice. If you are running late and a staff member is no longer at one of the arrival doors, please proceed to the main school office doors (door 1) for admittance.


PreK Parents - Just a note of caution that starting next week, both the West and East lots will each only have a single driveway for entering and exiting the lots.

Sunday, October 20 will be our first family mass.  Mass at 11:30.  Our 4th graders will be participating as readers, greeters, and bringing up the gifts.  All families are welcome and students who attend will earn an out of uniform pass.  A sign-in sheet will be located in the vestibule.

Students will be attending mass on Friday, Nov. 1 for All Saints Day instead of on Tuesday that week. Students are invited to DRESS AS THEIR FAVORITE SAINT on that day. All students who come dressed as saints, will participate in a procession at the beginning of mass.


Have a great week! Enjoy the long weekend!


Ms. Booth
