From the Office of the Principal
|
Greetings,
Loyola Catholic School kicked-off the 2016-2017 school year with a great start Monday morning with music, pictures, breakfast and an all-school assembly on the Upper Campus. Thank you to the many parents, grandparents and SSND who stayed and helped in celebrating the start of another school year. It was also wonderful to see our school staff joining in on the fun greeting our students and families before school and joining in on the assembly. Thank you all!
Stay tuned weekly for a letter and information coming from the office of the principal. Expect communication to come from Kristi Degen our Dean of Academics, Steve Dornbach our Dean of Students, or John Landkamer, our Activities Director and Assistant Dean of Students and myself.
It has been a true pleasure the past two months getting to know these important members of our new administrative team. In two months, I have learned a great deal of information from them. The depth of their knowledge, skills and experience brings about an exciting forecast for Loyola Catholic School. Couple this with our wonderful teaching and school support staff and the future looks very bright for LCS.
Thank you parents and guardians for being great partners in education. As the school year goes along, I look forward to strengthening that partnership and ensuring we are doing the very best we can to support and properly challenge your children to best prepare them for their future.
Lastly, please continue to keep Sister Mary Beth in your thoughts and prayers. Sister sustained an injury from a fall this summer which has kept her away from the school. She would have loved to have been there to start the school year with us. We were in her thoughts and prayers as we started the year. Please know we are eager to have her glowing presence among us soon greeting our students.
Sincerely,
Adam Bemmels, Principal

New Attendance Voicemail Line - all parents can call this line to report an absent child or appointment during the day:
507-386-5312
.
Please remember to turn in the
Health Census Form
and any medical forms (asthma, seizure, medication, severe allergy). All forms can be found on the ISD 77 website:
http://www.isd77.org/page/4045
Transportation forms are still available in both school offices. For those who completed the form, bus passes have been sent home with Lower Campus students, and Upper Campus students will receive them next week.
Summer construction projects on Upper Campus included installing a new Preschool-12 entrance that should be used by students, parents and visitors 8:00am - 2:45pm. Before and after that, please use our main entrance, door one.
We have been working throughout this past year to centralize all family accounts at Loyola. All costs and fees will now be directed to your SMART Account. This will include items such as tuition, activity fees and lunches. For example, any lunches bought by your child(ren) will be automatically billed to your SMART Account monthly. Remember, you will receive an email notice prior to these additional charges being charged to your credit card/bank account that you set up with your SMART Account on the date you've established (15th or 20th of the month).
Though this convenient monthly process will work well for most, one may still send a check directly to SMART, instead of relying solely on the process to charge the card or withdrawing from the bank account you established in your SMART account. SMART's address for check payments: PO Box 54228, Los Angeles, CA 90054. All checks should be made out to SMART and will require time in the mail and a few days for processing.
It's time to start saving those redeemables!
Save and turn in Box Tops for Education, Milk Moola tops and HyVee receipts (September 1 - May 15) at any of the school offices.
The Campbell's soup label program has been discontinued, but labels that say "Labels for Education" may still be submitted. Last school year, we redeemed them for six soccer balls and eight - 6ft. plastic tables. We'll keep you posted on the benefits we've received from saving these items. Thank you!
