Happy Monday!
Happy Monday!
As we begin Week 12, I hope everyone was able to take some time this weekend and celebrate mass together. It is a very exciting week for our Grade 8 graduates. St. Patrick School and St. Patrick Parish invite all families to watch the livestream of the Grade 8 Graduation Mass on Thursday, June 4 at 9AM. A link will be emailed prior to the Mass but families may also join by clicking on the livestream button on the Parish website at www.st-pats.org. This Friday, the Class of 2020 will take part in individual graduations in church. It will be a great day to celebrate these students, just in a very different way! Please know that I will not be available to answer communications that day as I have role as both a principal and parent of a graduate. Thank you for understanding.
Blessings,
Dr. Ross
Big Buddy Little Buddy Congratulations
This past Friday was the Grade 8 Dinner Dance which included a Virtual Program. This video was the special message shared from the Kindergarten Little Buddies to their Grade 8 Big Buddies! The buddy program is one of the special traditions at St. Patrick School and these adorable wishes are a testament to it! Enjoy!
Materials Exchange Days
On June 15 and 16, the school will host Materials Exchange Days whereby parents will need to bring items back to St. Patrick School and pick up any items left in students’ desks or in their cubbies, including coats, sweatshirts, bags, etc. We will provide each family with a checklist of items to return on the Materials Exchange Days. Each family’s time for the drop-off and pick-up of materials will be sent at a later date. Middle School students will receive different instructions than grades PK-5 as lockers need to be emptied.
*Please know that these days can not be amended to meet family needs as there are numerous protocols and procedures.
