Dear Friends,
If you were not in the Parish Hall on Saturday night you missed a fantastic evening of family fun. The Monster Mash was truly a "graveyard smash"!
Those in attendance were dressed in the cutest, scariest, and most creative costumes. They danced the night away as the DJ played the latest and greatest tunes. The sixth and seventh grade students and their families organized crafts, games, and provided snacks to round out the evening.
This was just the first of many family friendly events hosted by our classes and sponsored by the HSA that we hold every year. Keep a close eye out for updates, invitations, and requests for help to make these events great.
Many Blessings,
Steven J. Santoli
Principal

Drop-Off and Pick-Up Procedures
It is our goal to have all students arrive and leave school in a safe and orderly fashion. This is impossible without you strictly following these simple procedures. The time you might save by cutting corners is not worth the potential of hurting someone.
Morning Drop-Off
- The safest and quickest method of drop off is to pull in front of the school and pull forward as far as possible up to the flag pole. When your car is parallel to the curb, allow your children to leave on the curbside of the car and walk behind the cones to the main door.
- If you choose to park and help your child carry a large project or other materials, park inside the coned area and cross at the painted crosswalk to the main door.
- Kindergarten and PK parents should park on the far side of the cones and walk their children into the flagpole doors and to the classrooms.
Afternoon Pick-Up
ALL CARS MUST PARK INSIDE THE CONED AREA
- Drive forward to the basketball hoop and turn left in front of the school. Drive to the furthest available row and pull all the way up to the car in front of you facing the church.
- If you arrive after 3:00 PM, pull forward to the basketball hoop and form a neat straight line to the left and facing the school.
- Exit your vehicle and walk to the grass area. Your children will be lined up on the sidewalk with their teachers. Make contact with the teacher to indicate you are taking your child. walk your child back to your car and wait for the cones to be lifted to exit the parking lot safely.
NO CONES SHOULD BE MOVED OR CARS MOVING WHILE STUDENTS AND PARENTS ARE WALKING IN THE LOT.
When everyone follows the procedure our entire dismissal process takes no more than 15 minutes. If you have extreme circumstances and need to return to work or you are physically unable to walk to pick up your child, notify the main office and accommodations will be made for you.
