A Message from Mr. Hackenson

Dear Parents, Catholic Schools Week is upon us and I encourage you to participate in Sunday's activities as well as Wednesday's Spaghetti Dinner and Open House. We look forward to seeing everyone as we celebrate Catholic Education. The students have worked very hard on their research and are excited to share their results. Please note that we are still in need of volunteers. If you're available, the H.S.A. would appreciate your assistance. The school's Headmaster's portal is now available to pre-register your child for next year. The registration fee before March 1st is reduced to $50, however after March 1st, it will be $100. We will be holding Financial night for all parents on Tuesday, February 6th at 6:45 p.m. in our cafeteria. Budget, school costs and financial assistance will be discussed. We are pleased with your cooperation in regards to parking on Whitcomb street. As a reminder, please do not enter the school parking lot with your vehicle at pick-up time. Please share this with other family members who may not be aware that there is no parking in the school yard during the school day. Sincerely, Michael Hackenson M.Ed. Principal
