Dear Parents, Students, Grandparents, and Staff,
Today I had the opportunity to go with the Kindergarten class to the Dairy Farm. My goodness! What a wonderful time I had with all the students and staff. I have always been a city girl, and I got to spend the day with cows!! What fun!! I still don't think I will be moving anytime soon to the country, but nonetheless, it was so much fun spending time and making memories!
As a reminder, be sure to eat lunch and/or dinner at Panda Express (by Jefferson Point) on Thursday, September 20. This is our Dining to Donate for September and 20% of the proceeds goes to our school! How awesome is that!
Finally, be sure to listen to Redeemer Radio (FM 106.3) on Friday, September 21 from 1:00-2:00 PM for their Fall Share-a-thon. This is the Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Hour, and Carrie Norton, our HASA president and I will be on the air. Parents, grandparents, and friends can call in during this time and make a donation to Redeemer Radio in honor of a student, teacher, staff member, or priest!! We'll say your name on the radio!!!
Have a great week,
Miss Widner
Principal

Student-Led Conferences (K-8)
October 16, 17 & 18
|
Dear Parents,
Fall Student-Led conferences will be held on Tuesday, October 16th, Wednesday,
October 17th, and Thursday, October 18th.
Please be aware that your child will be bringing his/her report card home on Tuesday, October 16th. Please make sure that you sign the report card and bring it with you to the conference. Conferences will be scheduled for Kindergarten through Grade 8 students. The conference times are as follows:
Tuesday, October 16th: 3:40-4:40 PM & 5:40-8:20 PM
Wednesday, October 17th: 3:40-4:40 PM & 5:40-8:20 PM
Thursday, October 18th: 9:00-11:40 AM
Please keep in mind that conference times are scheduled for 15 minutes with a 5 minute break between conferences for teachers. If you feel you need more time than this, you will need to schedule an additional time with your child's homeroom teacher.
Please note:
Due to the fact that conferences run later on Tuesday evening and Wednesday is a school day, we have a scheduled one-hour delay for Wednesday, October 17th. Conferences are scheduled for Thursday morning, October 18th, but school is not in session. There is no school on Friday,
October 19th.
These conferences are for the student, parents, and teacher. These are student-led conferences. We need and want all three parties involved because it is the student's progress being discussed. We all need to talk with one another concerning student's progress and to go over the student's data folder/binder. Middle School students will be focusing on college and readiness standards. They have been working on a variety of lessons focusing on the future of their college preparation. They will be sharing this at conference time as well.
Once again, we are having parents sign up online for conferences. Parents should sign up with your child's homeroom teacher. As always, middle school families will only sign up with their homeroom teacher. If you have questions or concerns with other non-special or special teachers in grades 6-8, please bring your questions and concerns to your child's homeroom teacher.
If you would like to meet with special teachers or non-special teachers, they will also be available for you to make an appointment as well as some of the special teachers will be partnering up with the middle school homeroom teachers. Please make sure you sign up no later than, October 2nd. Attached you will find directions on signing up for conferences online. If you do not have access to a computer, please contact Mrs. Tourney at 432-4001 Ext. 325.
Please keep in mind that conferences are scheduled on a first-come/first-serve basis; therefore, it is important for you to sign up on line no later than October 2nd. If you have any questions, please feel free to call the school office.

Scrip Update
by Jen Rolfsen & Amanda Brzozowski
|
Hello Fellow Pioneers! We hope your families are settling in to a positive school routine and that life is running smoothly!
We want to invite ALL families that have not started using our SCRIP program to come to our Friday Store between 7am and Noon this Friday to check it out and see what we do. SCRIP is such an easy, fun way to save money towards your tuition at Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic School. If you're not using SCRIP, we want to ask you, " WHY NOT??" If you spend money on gas, groceries, dining out, gifts for friends and family, then you could be using SCRIP to accomplish the same things, but stockpiling $$ towards your tuition! Choosing a Catholic education for your children is an amazing gift and we want to do everything we can to help you save money for this crucial investment.
Monday orders are due in school by 9am. Please send your order in with your child along with a check or cash. Your order will be returned to you by Wednesday in the Wednesday envelope that your child brings home from school. Make sure to look over the percentages you receive back from the vendors. The higher the percentage, the more money you will be saving towards your tuition! What could you do with an extra $100 to $1000 saved simply purchasing SCRIP? Attached to the link below you will find an updated scrip order form.
Have a great week, and keep up the great work using SCRIP! Our office is located in the Parish office hallway. If you walk through the double wooden doors towards the church you will see our office on the right. Please email us any questions at
scrip@seasfw.org. You may call our office at 432-4001, ext 116.
Amanda and I look forward to meeting you soon.
