The Saliba Scoop


Dear SBK Families, 

 

Thank you for attending Curriculum Night last week to hear all of the amazing things happening in the classroom! We were happy to welcome you in and hope you had a chance to make a connection with some other parents as well. The beginning of the year is a great time to reach out to parents and families you have not had the opportunity to get to know yet! Our children see this model of vulnerability and mimic this to form their own new friendships! 


Today, we raised money for the Spirit of Hope Disaster Relief Fund. This was put in place to provide families, within our Diocese, essential resources to help rebuild what was lost in the historic flooding a few weeks ago. Thank you for your generosity to act as the hands and feet of Jesus! We pray with and for these families, that God is near and they feel comforted. 


This Friday, we remember the 25th anniversary of 9/11. We will start our day with prayer, to honor the nearly 3,000 lives lost. While our children are not old enough to remember the tragic moments of that day like you and I might, it is important they understand that Christ has already won victory over death and that each day is a gift. 


This weekend is Ministry Weekend, following all masses. I encourage you to swing by Hendricks Hall to learn about ways to be involved in parish life, including faith formation opportunities! Please encourage any friends and neighbors to stop by the SBK table, to learn more about our beautiful school!


During the month of September, students are permitted to wear navy uniform shorts with their PE shirts on PE days, so they can stay cooler. In October, we will transition back to pants only in PE. 


We are so encouraged to see how many parents are joining us for school Masses! Please continue to join us as your schedule allows! 


This month, we will celebrate the beatification of Venerable Fulton J. Sheen. Each grade level will be learning about Venerable Sheen as we approach this monumental event in his journey to sainthood. 


Finally, I am hoping you will consider answering this short survey for the future of SBK. I am grateful for your time!


St. Brigid of Kildare, pray for us!


Many blessings, 

Carli Saliba

Notes from the Nurse


Attention New Students, Kindergarteners & 7th Grade Parents:


Updated immunization records are required ASAP (including required Tdap & Meningococcal shots for 7th grade).


  • If already vaccinated: Please turn in a copy of your child's immunization record.
  • If you have a scheduled appointment: Thank you!
  • Need immunizations? You can receive them at school during our October 14 clinic.


Please Note (7th Grade Families): If your child is already up to date on their Tdap and Meningococcal vaccines, an appointment is not necessary. Please send a copy of their immunization record to the clinic as soon as possible.
 

On-Site Flu Shots & Student Immunizations


Nationwide Children’s Hospital will be at St. Brigid on Wednesday, October 14, (8:00 AM - 1:30 PM in Enke Hall) to administer flu vaccines and required student immunizations.

PE Pacer Test (Week of Sept. 14th)


Students will take the Pacer test, running laps to push their endurance limits.


If your child uses an inhaler, please ensure their inhaler and doctor's order are already in the clinic, or be available to bring it to school if requested.
 

Medications & Health Guidelines


Medications at School

If your child needs medication or therapy during the school day, please submit a completed prescription form or doctor’s order. Tip: Ask your pharmacy for an extra labeled bottle for school use.


Injuries & New Diagnoses

Please provide a note from your healthcare provider detailing any school restrictions or care instructions. (A completed Release to Return to School Form works too if the provider's note doesn't cover it.)


Please familiarize yourself with the health forms available on the website HERE

One Conversation Can Make A Difference


Introducing Families Talk. Listen. Learn., an initiative from the Dublin Wellness Alliance developed in response to youth behavioral health needs identified across the community. This campaign offers a practical, parent-centered approach to opening and sustaining meaningful conversations about mental health and substance use with young people.


At its core, the campaign focuses on three key actions: Talk—starting conversations that keep the door open; Listen— what your teen may be trying to tell you; and Learn—understanding today’s risks.


Supporting materials for the campaign include conversation guides designed to help parents navigate these discussions, a family brochure outlining where to seek help, and curated links to trusted local resources for additional information and support.
