Dear parents and families, 

“Look up for guidance." - Bishop Burbidge at the Opening Liturgy for Catholic Schools.

I pray everyone's summer has been restful, relaxing, and most importantly refreshing. Our staff have been working ambitiously to ensure everything is ready for all our students to arrive on just this upcoming Monday!

I would like to welcome our newest staff member who joined us this week. Mrs. Nicole Harmon will be our new 7th grade home room teacher and Middle School Social Studies and Language Arts teacher. Mrs. Harmon recently moved to Northern Virginia with her husband. Previously she has taught 5th-8th grade History and Reading, and most recently was a high school U.S. History and Government teacher, club moderator, and varsity softball assistant coach. Mrs. Harmon has her Bachelor's of Arts in History, and her Master's of Arts in Teaching, both from Georgia Southern University.

Some quick notes for upcoming important dates and events:
  • Sunday 8/27: 12:00 Back to School Mass. Please join us for a celebratory Mass and have your children wear their school uniforms if they are so inclined! Following Mass we will have a reception in the cafeteria sponsored by the PTO.
  • Monday 8/28: First day of school! Carpool begins at 7:30 AM, please drop off in front of the awning of the main building. Remember, it is an 11:30 dismissal
  • Tuesday 8/29: Full days of school begin (7:55 AM - 3:15 PM)
  • Friday 9/1: 11:30 dismissal
  • Monday 9/4: Labor Day, no school
  • Tuesday 9/5: Back to School for grades 1-3 at 7:00 PM in the All Purpose Room
  • Wednesday 9/6: Back to School for grades 4-8 at 7:00 PM in the cafeteria

Our email server is currently down for teachers, but working for the principal, preschool director, and front office. If you need to get in contact with a teacher please email or call the front office.

Please be on the lookout for the wave of papers that will be coming home on the first day of school that need to be filled out and returned.

If your son or daughter has not completed the summer math and reading work, they will have until after Labor Day to complete the assignments. The PTO will be sponsoring an ice cream dessert for all students who complete the summer math work! Start crunching those numbers!

God bless,

Daniel Cinalli
Principal
