Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. 1 Corinthians 12: 12
September 9, 2016
Dear North Community Catholic School Families:
Today we enjoyed hosting our grandparents. It was so nice to see so many grandparents and other special guests here with the students! I hope everyone enjoyed their visit! Thanks to our Parents' Association for helping us coordinate our reception today! We couldn't do it without you!
One of my favorite job duties is the time that I spend visiting classrooms. I very much like to know what is going on, what the students are learning, and how the students are interacting with each other and their teachers. I have noticed on my walkthroughs that we have some students not fully in dress code. For example, I have seen khaki pants in the grades K-4, and khaki is strictly for grades 5-8. I have seen young ladies in navy blue skirts and jumpers. Skirts and jumpers must be our approved plaid from SchoolBelles. Only pants and walking shorts can be navy. I am attaching a copy of the dress code here (
click for link)so that everyone can review it. Please be sure your students are fully in dress code for school.
Next Friday, September 16, is a free day for students, and a professional day for our teaching staff. We will be having some professional development provided by Dr. Timothy Murnen from BGSU related to our school improvement goal on the teaching of writing in all subjects.
I hope all of you enjoy a restful and fun weekend! Best of luck to our Charger/Saints athletic teams who are playing this weekend!
Peace and Blessings,
Mrs. Beth Strbik
Principal

SCRIP
|
Shopping for groceries, filling the tank with gas, eating at a favorite restaurant....These routine things we do every week have proven to be a great way for Blessed Sacrament parents to shave off money from their child's tuition. You purchase gift cards or certificates from places you shop at anyway and the discount goes back to your child's tuition. More than 200 local businesses participate in the SCRIP program. Families who purchase the certificates can designate that their portion be applied to their tuition bill. To purchase SCRIP, contact Katie at [email protected] or phone her at 419-438-0476.
