Dear Friends,
The Assumption community was honored to welcome Monsignor Powers, the Vicar General of the Diocese of Bridgeport, and Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Steven Cheeseman to our church and school for a celebratory Mass and visit with the students.
Mrs. Kozlowski and her third grade students, with help from a few eighth graders and a fourth grader, organized a beautiful Mass that impressed Monsignor Powers. Monsignor left a lasting impression with his homily as he shared a personal story of how he was the only member of his Pop Warner football team wearing a practice jersey in the team picture. This
embarrassing
event happened because he was the only player that went to Catholic school. He then shared that this picture soon became a source of pride, because being a Catholic school student did make him different and that kind of different was good.
After Mass, I had the pleasure of introducing Monsignor Powers and Dr. Cheeseman to our students and staff as we visited every class in the school. It was there that we demonstrated just how different Assumption Catholic School students are.
Both visitors were very impressed with the learning they observed, but mostly by the joy and excitement our students expressed. They were welcomed like rock stars and our kids could not wait to show off their work and demonstrate their faith.
Our students represented their teachers, families, and school exceptionally well. I was immensely proud of them for being "different," and I would not have it any other way.
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.
