Dear Parents,
I'd like to touch on a few things happening around Loyola:
St. Clair is offering all Loyola students free admission to tonight's football game as a thank you for Loyola's help with sandbagging.
This weekend there is a service opportunity helping our wonderful SSND neighbors:
The School Sisters of Notre Dame need help this Saturday, October 8 during their garage sale and craft fair. They need 5 or 6 student volunteers (grades 6-12) from 9:30am-12pm and 5 or 6 more from 12:00pm-2:30pm. Duties will include cleanup of lunch, clearing tables, serving sister's lunches and helping with the transferring of items.
Lifetouch photo retake day is scheduled for Monday, October 10, on both campuses beginning at
8am. Those in Elementary and Intermediate having their picture taken that day may be out of uniform. Lifetouch order form can be found
here to print and return to school. OR order online!
www.mylifetouch.com Code is
KA016205Q1
Tuesday, October 11 is a 2-hour late start day. Busing is available on a 2-hour late schedule and school will begin at
10:00 A.M. If your child needs to be at school before
9:30 A.M., please
email the school secretary to sign up with your child's name, grade and time to be dropped off. There will be a $5.00 fee added to your SmartTuition account.
The end of the school is a very hectic time of day trying to direct students to where they belong and where you want them to go after school.
It is important for parents to try to establish a routine for after school to get their child home safely; i.e., ride the bus, so-and-so will pick you up after school, go to Clubhouse, etc.
This also helps eliminates any questions on the part of the child about where they are to go after school, possibly saving you a trip to school to pick them up because they missed the bus.
Sometimes, it is necessary to change plans for after school. In this event, parents are asked to notify the school office 388-0600 or attendance line 386-5312 by no later than2:15 P.M. to give us ample time to convey that message to your child or child's teacher. Notifications after that time increase the chance of us not being able to relay your message by not connecting with the student or teacher and the sheer busyness of the office at the end of a school day.
I will be talking to students who are getting picked up late to discuss the issue. If plan A changes for your transportation plans please be proactive in letting us know about plan B.
As always, if you have questions about any of the above, please contact me.
Have a wonderful weekend!
