Teaching Children their value as Children of God

Principal's Notes

Dear parents and families,

As first quarter is coming to an end, I know many of our teachers have been reaching out to notify parents of grades and makeup work. Please be sure to always check the Wednesday folder and the Parent Portal to ensure you are receiving all grade updates. As always, we look to partner with our parents in our students' education for the success of everyone.

Some quick notes:

Thursday, 10/19: STEAM Night 6:15-7:30
Wednesday, 10/25: McDonald's Spirit Night
Thursday, 10/26: End of 1st Quarter
Friday, October 27: PTO Trunk or Treat and Movie Night
Friday, October 27: No School, teacher work day

On October 27 the PTO is organizing the Trunk or Treat event. This is a safe opportunity for students to dress in their costumes, go from car to car receiving candy, and join us for a movie either outside (weather permitting) or in the cafeteria. For the best night possible we need a great community turn out to join us with cars decorated to give out candy. If you decorate your car that is a plus, but if you just feel like parking and passing out candy to our students that is most welcome as well!

On October 19th we are thrilled to be partnering with Marymount University to once again host a STEAM night. We will have many STEAM activities and experiments for our students to participate in right in our own cafeteria. The event will go from 6:15 to 7:30 PM.

Parent and Teacher conference forms are being sent home in the Wednesday folder. Please fill the form out and return it. Attendance to the conferences is required for our families to give our teachers the opportunity to speak about student progress.

We will be offering All Day AfterCare on Friday, November 10th for those families that need to work or do not have child care during their conference. The rate for the full-day or conference only childcare will be including in the Wednesday folder.

Lunch orders for next month are due. Don't miss out on Chef Alvarro's delicious dishes!

Dr. Little and the St. Michael's Band are selling Yankee Candles as a fundraiser for the band trip. If you think your home or office could use a new scent, buy a candle and support the arts.

God bless,

Daniel Cinalli

“The Rosary is a powerful weapon to put the demons to flight and to keep oneself from sin…If you desire peace in your hearts, in your homes, and in your country, assemble each evening to recite the Rosary. Let not even one day pass without saying it, no matter how burdened you may be with many cares and labors.” – Pope Pius XI
