Re-Registration 2016/17 School Year

Mark your Calendar

• Saturday, April 30th for Comcast Care Day - 7:00am to 1:00pm. This year, St. Stanislaus Catholic School has been selected to be their Comcast Care Day recipient. This is a great honor and a great opportunity for us to do some mass clean ups, upgrades, etc.. around the school, the preschool and the gymnasium. Comcast will send a crew of Comcast volunteers to assist us in completely identified projects and Comcast graciously pays for all the supplies.   They need our help, though. They ask that our parents and students volunteer their time and talent on that day as well. As a bonus, they will give us a grant based on the number of volunteers that show up.  The funding can be between $10 - $20 per volunteer.  The more volunteers, including children, grandparents, uncles, aunts, neighbors, etc., the more funding for the school.  

Parent Volunteers

• We are seeking volunteers to help out in Preschool and PreK.

•  If you are interested in volunteering in your child's classroom please sign up on the calendar by the sign in binders. 

• We ask that only one PreK and one Preschool parent sign up each day. 

• PreK preferred volunteer time is from 10-11.  Preschool parents 8-12:30.  

• Please sign up for no more than 3 spots a month.  

Gentle Reminders
