Principal Notes
Dear Parents,
Our Christmas Worship Service is tomorrow at 7 pm in the church. The doors to the school will open at 6:30 pm. Students should be in their classrooms by 6:45 pm. Teachers bring their classes to the church to sing and then take their classes back to the school. For safety reasons, the school is locked during the service and students cannot be picked up early. The service lasts just one hour and when it is finished the school is opened so that you can pick up your children. Due to the lateness of the evening and the fact that there is school the next day, there will be no reception in Holy Angel Hall afterward.
During the service we ask that you remain seated and do not come to the front to take photos. We do videotape the service. If you wish to purchase the video, here is the flyer.
As a courtesy to others, do not go into the church early and block off pews with signs, jackets, purses etc. If unescorted items are found in the pews, we will remove them. If you wish to save a few seats you will need to be sitting in the seats that you are saving. No one should save a whole pew.
Please remember that this is a school of 530 students each with families who want to be a part of our worship service. Let's all remember this and make sure that we don't do anything that makes others feel excluded from our community.
I love our Christmas Worship Service because it truly represents what we as Catholics believe about this special season. I hope that you find it as spiritually uplifting as I do.
Merry Christmas,
Jennifer

Social Media and Photo Sharing
Parents do not have permission from the school to post photos of students other than their own child(ren) taken at school events to personal social media or other sites.
Social Media and Cyberbullying
The school discourages student use of social media, however, it is understood that this is a parent decision and that parents are also responsible for monitoring their child's online behavior. Should a student use social media or any technology to harass other students, compose uncomplimentary posts about other students, or in any way participate in behavior that is detrimental to themselves, other students, or the school, the school will respond appropriately. Depending on the nature of the behavior, the school may issue a detention, a suspension, or an expulsion. The school works together with parents to make it clear to students that any online behavior that affects other students or the school will result in disciplinary consequences.

EARLY PICK UP BY A NON-PARENT

Students that are going to be picked up during the school day by someone other than a parent will need a written note from a parent, that includes the date and signature of a parent. No student will be released to anyone unless a release is verified in writing by the parent. The staff may ask for identification if the staff does not know the person. The Car Pool list is only used for after school pick up and Emergency Cards are used only when your child is sick or injured or in case of earthquake or another emergency.
