REMINDER-Morning drop-offs are from 7:00 am to 7:50 am. The student must be inside the gate by 7:50 am. If the gate is closed or is closing, the parent must drive around to the office to sign their child in. The duty teacher will walk to the gates by 7:48 am (our first bell). When the 2nd bell rings, the gate will close. While arriving a few minutes late may not seem significant, students entering the classroom after the day has begun causes interruptions and missed learning time.
After-School Pick-Up Reminder: When picking up children from art or any other after-school activity/club/meeting, parents of students who attend aftercare should wait outside in front of the school for their child to be dismissed. Aftercare should not be used as a waiting area. Our aftercare staff will send students out to you if needed. Thank you for being so cooperative.
This is a great time to check skirt lengths for girls, schedule hair appointments, and make any necessary adjustments to ensure students are in compliance with the uniform code before we return from the holidays. We will be completing a uniform check when we return.
Students and parents, as we move into the second semester, please review the Service Hour Information & Guidelines to stay familiar with the requirements. If a student plans to serve at a location that is not on the approved list, we strongly recommend getting pre-approval from Mrs. Ramona before performing the service. Please note that service performed at a non-approved location may not be accepted for credit, and service hours cannot be submitted past the due date.
If your child has a Krewe of Panda Mardi Gras shirt purchased in the past years, they may wear it to church on Tuesday, January 6, with their school uniform to kick off our 2025-2026 Krewe of Pandas Presentation. 🎭
Krewe of Panda Mardi Gras t-shirt orders are due by January 9. Please click this link for more details.
Our Panda Family continues to grow, and we would love your help! If you know families who may be interested in Saint Bernadette School, please share our Open House invitation and sign-up link, and encourage them to join us. There is no better recommendation than one from our own SBS families!
