Dear Friends,
This past weekend the HSA hosted my favorite event of the year, the Breakfast with Santa. This has become a fantastic holiday tradition that I look forward to as much as the children do. Of course I enjoy a visit from the big guy and a chance to see our kids light up when Santa arrives, but what I like most about this event is how it brings our community together.
So many volunteers help to make this event successful, it is impossible to list them all and I apologize if I miss anybody, but know all of your hard work is appreciated. There were also the generous donations of food that poured in from our families.
I would like to send a special thank you to the HSA leadership, especially Mrs. Gourley, for their hard work organizing the event. The Monahan family set the scene with beautiful decorations and music. Many of our craft tables were staffed by alumni and their friends doing service projects as students at St. Joseph High School. Father Cipriani, Deacon Ray, and the Parish donated a lot of the food and allowed the use of the Hall as well as attended the event along with several Parish families and we thank them.
Last, but not least I need to thank the Kitchen Crew of Dads that worked all morning to prepare the food, serve, and clean up after the event. Every year the crew gets a little bigger and works a little better. This year the introduction of power tools made for a more efficient and entertaining cooking experience. This is not an exclusive club, if you want to volunteer to help in the kitchen for this event or Easter Bunny Brunch or just be with a group of Dads that gather to contribute to their children's educational experience please let me know and we can plan other fun events.
Thanks to all and Merry Christmas!
Many Blessings,
Steven J. Santoli
Principal

Drop-Off and Pick-Up Procedures
It is our goal to have all students arrive and leave school in a safe and orderly fashion. This is impossible without you strictly following these simple procedures. The time you might save by cutting corners is not worth the potential of hurting someone.
Morning Drop-Off
- The safest and quickest method of drop off is to pull in front of the school and pull forward as far as possible up to the flag pole. When your car is parallel to the curb, allow your children to leave on the curbside of the car and walk behind the cones to the main door.
- If you choose to park and help your child carry a large project or other materials, park inside the coned area and cross at the painted crosswalk to the main door.
- Kindergarten and PK parents should park on the far side of the cones and walk their children into the flagpole doors and to the classrooms.
Afternoon Pick-Up
ALL CARS MUST PARK INSIDE THE CONED AREA
- Drive forward to the basketball hoop and turn left in front of the school. Drive to the furthest available row and pull all the way up to the car in front of you facing the church.
- If you arrive after 3:00 PM, pull forward to the basketball hoop and form a neat straight line to the left and facing the school.
- Exit your vehicle and walk to the grass area. Your children will be lined up on the sidewalk with their teachers. Make contact with the teacher to indicate you are taking your child. walk your child back to your car and wait for the cones to be lifted to exit the parking lot safely.
NO CONES SHOULD BE MOVED OR CARS MOVING WHILE STUDENTS AND PARENTS ARE WALKING IN THE LOT.
When everyone follows the procedure our entire dismissal process takes no more than 15 minutes. If you have extreme circumstances and need to return to work or you are physically unable to walk to pick up your child, notify the main office and accommodations will be made for you.
