LETTER FROM MRS. RYAN
Dear Parents,

Every day is an adventure.  Yesterday we had our first fire drill at the parish campus. Since we wanted this initial drill to be gentle in nature, I announced it in advance at morning assembly.  The teachers and I had all set our cell phone alarms, and at 11:00 AM  and we headed out to a predetermined place in the church parking lot.  As usual your children did a beautiful job following their teachers' directions.  We will build on this success as we conduct other drills aimed at keeping us safe down at our parish campus.

Yesterday there was also a meeting at our home campus with insurance adjusters. I marvel at the emotional roller coaster ride between mourning the loss of what we had and anticipating the lovely updated main building we will inhabit come January. Think brand new color scheme with new flooring, wall coverings, and cabinetry. Imagine the new HVAC system with individual controls in each classroom.  

Our covered eating area will be replaced with a fabricated steel shade structure that will be located closer to the kitchen where hot lunch is served. I have included a photo to help you imagine it.
The Holy Spirit continues to bless us all with fortitude.  I see it daily in our dedicated faculty and staff and with your wonderfully resilient children. Thanks for your continued support and trust in us.

Sincerely,
Kathy Ryan
School Principal
PHONE COMMUNICATION WITH SCHOOL OFFICE
We have been experiencing some technical difficulties with our mobile phone communication here at the parish campus. Finding and holding a good signal to make calls out has been difficult. 
We apologize to any of you with whom we  were speaking to and lost the connection. 
Ms. KC's been roaming from corner to corner, stepping outside, under the tree, away from the tree, in the parking lot, trying to talk to folks!  We are working on a solution!

The good news is, we get your voice messages loud and clear, so please keep calling.
If you would really like to get an answer to a question sooner, or have a pressing issue, emailing Ms. KC may be the best way to get the quickest  response right now! Feel free to do so any time.
Lots of colds, coughs, and big germs running around campus right now!
Please be sure and review the school policy below for illness's and medications. 
Let's do our best to keep everyone healthy!
