Dear Families,
Welcome back to a new school year! It is with great joy and excitement that we see our hallways and classrooms filled with the energy and enthusiasm of our students once again. The start of a new academic year is always a special time, filled with the promise of new beginnings, learning, and growth. We are thrilled to embark on this journey together with you and your children.
Drop-Off Reminders:
Please ensure that students remain in their cars until 7:35 a.m. There will be no supervision outside before this time.
To avoid congestion and ensure safety, do not line up at the doors before 7:35 a.m.
If you require an earlier drop-off time, please utilize our before care program.
Spirit Wear Fridays:
We will begin Spirit Wear Fridays on Thanksgiving. Until then, please ensure your children are in appropriate uniform clothing on Fridays.
If you need extra uniforms, we have donated items available. Please contact Mrs. Lopez in the office for assistance.
Class Announcements on Dojo:
Many teachers are using Class Dojo to share announcements and updates. Please join your child’s class on Dojo to stay informed about all the wonderful activities and achievements.
Mass and Welcome Back Event:
We will be attending mass as a school on Thursdays, starting August 29th.
Please join us for our Welcome Back Mass on September 15th at 10:30 a.m. Our former custodian, Geoff LaCanne, will be attending to say goodbye to his former students as he has moved to a new position at another school in Siena.
Catholic Schools Walk:
Our Catholic Schools Walk will take place on September 21st at the Siena Center. This is our main fundraiser for the year and supports many opportunities for our students.
Please see the links in this newsletter to register or donate. Your participation and support are greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership. We look forward to a fantastic year ahead!
Warm regards,
