Important Drop Off/Pick Up Changes
We're excited to share that construction on the church is beginning on Monday, June 2nd, with the continuation of the roofing project and the removal of the church pews for restoration. This impacts our Ohio school entrance. To keep everyone safe and sound during construction, we'll be making a few temporary changes from Monday, June 2nd through Friday, June 13th (the end of our school year).
What's Happening:
- The Ohio drop-off and pick-up area will be temporarily closed for student safety.
- The driveway will be off-limits to both cars and pedestrians during this time.
- All morning traffic duty people will report to Selby for traffic duty throughout construction to expedite student drop-off.
- On 8th grade Graduation Day, June 9th, we will reserve this entrance for our graduates’ guests and continue regular school drop off at the Selby entrance.
The Plan for Our DK Students:
Don't worry - we've got everything covered! Our DK students will start their day gathering in the After School Care room with their teachers. When it's time for class to begin, they will take a little walk together to their regular DK classroom like we do during Festival week.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to renovate our church. These improvements will be worth the temporary adjustment.
Questions? Feel free to reach out (mhiney@sp-apostle.org)- we're here to help!

Run/Walk to Support St. Jude!
Our school is raising money to support St. Jude's Children's hospital! On Wednesday, June 4, all grades will run or walk during school hours. Students may wear appropriate exercise clothes, or can get into the spirit by creating a t-shirt that has a supportive message, such as "St. Paul's loves St. Jude's!" A cool treat will be provided to the students at the end of the event.
To support this effort, donate to our Run/Walk-a-thon at the link below.

Dear Parents,
As our 8th graders begin their last week here at St. Paul's and all students anticipate summer, let's help everyone to realize that it is important, as always, to be conscious of our choices. I have a rash of detentions from this week ranging from gum chewing, not following expectations for behavior at recess, and tardiness.
Please support us in ending the year in a happy, safe, and responsible way. I am grateful for the support of parents when I advise you of an issue. Working together makes everything better.
