DAN'S BLOG
I appreciate you reading this "blog" every Thursday, but did you know that our pastor, Father Gary, also writes a weekly blog? It's a little more important than mine, as his goes by its proper name, "the Homily," and is verbally broadcast to hundreds of parishioners at Mass each weekend. But if you weren't able to make it to church on a particular Sunday, or if you attend another parish, you can always go HERE to our parish website and read Fr. Gary's latest Homily. The one he gave last weekend (November 13) was a particularly impactful message. Fr. Gary spoke to the divisiveness that the recent presidential election has brought to America, and our call as Catholics to not be distracted by political affiliations but to be resolute in promoting Christian values. Here is a part of Fr. Gary's November 13th Homily message:
 
"No matter which party holds political power, we as a
Church will continue to do these things in the name of Jesus:
To defend the rights of immigrants and their families, to condemn racism,
to uphold the care of creation, to protect the poor and vulnerable,
to uphold the unique role of marriage and family life in society,
to uphold the life and dignity of the human person and to protect human life from
its natural beginning to its natural end. When we do these things in the
name of Jesus, there will be some who hate us.
...Now more than ever, we need to be bold,we need to be Catholic."


 

We reach that time of year where we are finishing up some big things (such as the Auction and 1st trimester grades), when we are in the middle of some other big things (such as conferences, speech team tournaments, and CYO basketball), and when we are approaching even more big things (such as Thanksgiving Vacation, Advent, the St. Nicholas Bazaar, and the grade 1 & 2 Christmas Concert). Needless to say, the lights are burning for long hours at St. Louise, and we appreciate your involvement and volunteer support in any or all of these!

Speaking of support, I am so grateful for what transpired at Saturday night's Auction: all the generous bidding, the wonderful fellowship enjoyed with fellow St. Louisers, and the hard work from our Auction volunteers! Of course, a giant debt of gratitude is due Esther Magnotti and Julianne Read, for being our tireless co-chairs of Auction 2016!

(By the way, if you would like to consider co-chairing Auction 2017 - a rewarding experience that creates lifelong friends and dramatically helps your child's school - please talk with Esther or Julianne about what's involved.)

Although the actual financials from the Auction won't be sorted out for a few more weeks, as bills have to be paid and donations collected, we did raise over $50,000 for the Fr. Phil Wallace Endowment Fund! This will be put into the principal of this endowment, and the interest earned from the investment will help provide tuition assistance to financially needy families next school year.

Additionally, over $40,000 was donated to the fund-an-item for this year - new flat screen displays in the classrooms! With this amount of money raised for this special project, Dan Kirby and his Tech Committee will be able to purchase 10 more flat screens this school year, and these will be installed later this winter and spring.

Note that the installation process requires a number of hands - muscles to help hold up the displays while being mounted and mechanical-type brains to best figure out the mounting process in the unique classrooms. If you can help with this process later this year on some evenings or weekends (no tech experience needed), please contact Dan Kirby.

Thanks for reading,
Mr. Fitz

p.s.
Below in the yellow-highlighted section, you'll find information on next week's Parent-Student-Teacher Conferences. We ask that our family arrive a few minutes early for your scheduled conference time.  No need to check in at the office on Monday or Tuesday - just head straight to the classroom. Teachers will have their schedules posted on their doors and chairs on which to wait outside the room. School-age siblings may wait in the school library to watch a video or read a book, and they will be supervised by one of our teachers.  Please note, our library-supervising teachers are not expecting to watch non-school-age children, such as your toddlers or babies, so please find childcare at home for these younger ones. Thank you!

How to Read Your Child's Report Card
          First trimester report cards will be sent home with every grade K-8 student tomorrow. Parents may keep the report card itself, but are asked to sign the back of the manila envelope and return the unsealed envelope to the teacher so it may be reused at the end of each trimester. You may return the signed envelope at next week's Parent-Teacher Conference or on Monday the 28th after we return from Thanksgiving vacation.
          For some subjects and grading categories on grade 4-8 report cards, and for all grade K-3 report card subjects and grading categories, a 4 to 1 number scale is used. Each number grade has corresponding descriptors. A student needs to exhibit all or some of the descriptors to earn the corresponding number grade.
 
4 to 1 Number Scale Descriptors for ACADEMIC Marks

4  = Exceeding Grade Level Expectations
  • Exhibits exceptional quality work consistently
  • Shows high level of knowledge and understanding
  • Shows creative and new ways of thinking
  • Applies learning to other subject areas and life situations
 
3 = Meeting Grade Level Expectations
  • Meets requirement for quality work
  • Shows knowledge and understanding

  • Applies learning to other subject areas
 


2 = Progressing Toward Grade Level Expectations

  • Demonstrates some knowledge and understanding
  • Requires extra time, instruction, assistance, and/or practice
 
 
 
1 = Not Meeting Grade Level Expectations
  • Seldom meets requirements for quality work
  • Demonstrates little knowledge and understanding
  • Requires an extended amount of time, instruction, assistance, and/or practice
 
 
 
4 to 1 Number Scale Descriptors for BEHAVIOR Marks

  • Always follows school rules
  • Listens attentively at all times
  • Never disturbs others when working
  • Consistently demonstrates a respectful and helpful attitude toward teachers, classmates, and school environment

1 = Not Meeting Grade Level Expectations
  • Rarely follows school rules
  • Is inattentive when should be listening
  • Constantly disturbs other when working
  • Demonstrates little respect toward teachers, classmates, and school environment
 
 
For grade 4-8 students, the grading scale for most subjects will use percentages, with the following scale providing a guide:
100-94%   =   Outstanding Achievement;
93-86%     =   Above Average Achievement;                        74-64%   =   Below Average Achievement;
85-75%     =   Average Achievement;                                   63% or below =   Unsatisfactory Achievement
Are You Ready for Your Conference?
          Parent-student-teacher conference days are just hours away! You and your child's conference with a teacher is a time to learn about areas in which your child does well and to talk about any problems your child might be having.  In addition, the conference gives the teacher a chance to find out about your child's life outside of school.  But most of all, the conference allows
parents and the teacher time to plan and work together so your child can get the most out
of his/her education. Enjoy this special time! Here are some helpful hints for parents:

1.  Prior to the conference, discuss with your child his/her likes and dislikes in school and
about topics that he/she might want to bring up at the conference. 

2.  Bring written notes with you, listing questions you wish to ask and topics to discuss.  It
helps when they are written down so that the conference time is efficiently used.   Also, you
should let the teacher know ahead of time what special concerns or topics you wish to
discuss so the teacher can be prepared.

3.  Questioning and sharing information will help a teacher better understand your child
and lead to an effective parent-teacher partnership. Questions you might want to ask include:   
  • Does my child participate in class?
  • Does my child get along with the other children?
  • Can my child handle the learning environment and follow the classroom routine?
  • Can my child express his/her needs and thoughts?
  • What can I can do at home to help my child in a subject in which he/she is having difficulty?  
Information you might want to share with the teacher includes: 
  • What your child talks about at home (both likes and dislikes).
  • Anything going on presently that could influence your child's behavior/performance at school.
  • Your child's strengths and weaknesses.  
4. Every grade 1-8 student is expected to be present for at least the beginning of
the conference to share his/her feelings about progress or lack thereof. If there are topics
that would best be discussed without the child present, he/she will be asked part-way
through the conference to wait outside the room or in the school library. Some of the
teachers even make this a student-led conference, so your child's presence will be required
for the entire conference time. For two-parent families, you send an important message to
your child when both mom and dad attend the conference.

5. If you and/or the teacher have items to discuss that will need more than the allotted 20
minutes per conference, please schedule a time to conference again soon, either in person or
over the phone.  Respect the reserved time for the family waiting to conference after you,
and the teacher's need to prepare for upcoming conferences, by not conferencing longer than
your 20 minutes.

Words of Wisdom from Sister Polly Policy...
 
I write each week to shine the spotlight on a specific school policy and its guidelines, as found in the school's Policy Handbook . You  should want to read this section each week simply for the good of your soul. However, if you need more incentive than that to read it, the 10th school family who emails Mr. Fitz with the correct answer to my question below will win a $10 Charger Card. (Last week's winner was Rob Kowal with the correct answer, "A face-to-face meeting.") So sit up straight, pay attention, and listen to Sister talk about one of the St. Louise School policies...


UNIFORM POLICY - Sections A-C
(page 15 of the Policy Handbook)

"There are unique differences between each sex in certain parts of the uniform as detailed below. A complete uniform for students in all grades consists of the following:
       Girls: skirt, jumper, skort, pants, or shorts; blouse or shirt; sweater; hosiery; shoes.  
       Boys:  pants or shorts; shirt; sweater; socks; shoes.   
 
Following are the acceptable types of each part of the uniform and those variations not allowed:
 
A. Skirt/Jumper/Skort - McDonald Plaid skirts, jumpers, or skorts must only be from the Dennis Uniform Store or used uniforms. Skirts, jumpers, or skorts must hang no shorter than three inches above the crease of the back of the knee.

B. Pants - Navy blue or solid black pants must be full length, straight legged, corduroy or cotton twill and must be from the Dennis Uniform Store, used uniforms, or the style must be approved by the teacher before worn to school. Pants may not be constructed of ____ material or a high percentage of _____ material (e.g. no yoga-style tight-fitting pants). Zippered pant legs or stripes on the legs are not allowed.  Extra pockets (e.g. "cargo pants") are not allowed except on non-uniform days.

C. Shorts - Navy blue or solid black walking shorts must be from the Dennis Uniform Store, used uniforms, or the style must be approved by the teacher before worn to school.  Shorts must hang no shorter than three inches above the crease of the back of the knee.  Extra pockets (e.g. "cargo shorts") are not allowed except on non-uniform days. Shorts, whether uniform shorts or other shorts on non-uniform days, may be worn only during the first and third trimesters of school."
  

Please realize that the above is only the first three sections of the "Uniform Policy" - sections A, B, C. To see all the sections (A through K), please go to pages 15-16 of the Policy Handbook. And once there, you'll be able to answer the following for a chance to win a Charger Card:

Section B above leaves out two words which help explain the "pants" section of our policy. What are the two types of "_____ material" of which uniform pants may not be constructed?

Email Mr. Fitz, and if you're the 5th family with the correct answer, you win a $10 Charger Card.

Talk to you next week about another school policy
....and until then...say three Our Father's, two Hail Mary's, and a Glory Be!

 

Three St. Louise Alumni Receive National Merit Recognition
          Each year in October, across the U.S. over 1.6 million high school juniors take the PSAT/NMSQT (Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test).   Of these 1.6 million students, the top scoring 50,000 (or the top 3.13%) qualify for recognition in the National Merit Scholarship Program. We are extremely proud that THREE St. Louise Alumni scored in that top 3.13% nationally and were recently named "National Merit Commended Students!"
          Brendan Johnson, Andrew Kirby, and Camille Scukas - from the St. Louise Class of 2013 - are National Merit Commended Students, with each receiving letters of commendation in recognition of their outstanding academic promise. They also will become candidates for special college scholarships sponsored by corporations and businesses.
          Upon learning of this incredible honor, Brendan's mom, Nicole Johnson, wrote to us: "Thank you, St. Louise, and the entire community, for helping to launch Brendan into the fine student and member of society he has become and will continue to be."

School Photos Retake Day at End of Month
        Photo print orders from School Photo Day were sent home in last Thursday's red Family Envelope. Retake day is scheduled for Wednesday, November 30th. If your child was absent on this original Photo Day in October, a retake order form may be picked up in the school office. Similarly, if you're not satisfied with last week's prints and want your child to have a retake, you need to return the entire  print package on the 30th. (Make sure your child is in his/her complete school uniform that day with the traditional red sweater or fleece.) Our photographer - Lifetouch - will use the barcode on your original package for retakes. If you have any questions, please contact Cindy Wagner in the development office. 
 
 
Oh, What a Night!
We are still celebrating from Saturday night! It was great to see everyone at the Marriott dressed in their red and black fort Up & Away! We hope you enjoyed the evening as much as we did! There are about 359,000 reasons to be excited about Up & Away! To be more precise - that is $359,000 rea$on$.

We are still posting sales and paying out expenses, but as of the publishing of this bulletin, we can tell you that in grossing around $359,000, after expenses our net profits will include the following announcements:
  • our generous donors brought in more than $55,000 for the Fr. Phil Tuition Endowment (our goal was $30,000);
  • you donated $46,000 for Fund-an-Item for new flat panel displays (our goal was $40,000);
  • we anticipate being in the range of netting $190,000 to Parents' Club to directly support school programs and operations (our goal was $173,000)!
None of this would have been possible without everyone's participation - our incredible sponsors, every school family and business who procured and donated, our attendees, and our amazing volunteers who pull it all together.
 
After-Auction Sale
We have a few remaining items that didn't sell on Saturday, so we are hosting an After-Auction Sale TOMORROW from 2-4pm in the Auction office (in the north wing near the 6th grade classrooms). Come and take advantage of great deals on remaining silent auction items, including bottles of wine for just $10! There are also some gift cards from Cabela's, Red Mango, REI, and more!

Thank You, Volunteers!
If you attended the big event on Saturday, you picked up a bid envelope, looked through a catalog, bid on silent items, marveled at grade projects, and viewed Black & White Photos. You sat down to a table with decorations and photos of your kiddos, participated in the Dessert Dash, bought raffle tickets, and played Heads or Tails. You then bid on items in our Live and Bid O Gram before picking up your winnings at check-out. All of these above events that took place on Saturday were pulled together by a HUGE number of volunteers, and we we want to take a moment and thank them for their kind service:

Opportunities to Volunteer Every-Other-Week or for One Special Event  
         
Our lunchtime recess supervisors - Trina Legnon and Lisa McKenna - are hoping to get more parents to help supervise the students, assuring safety and fun on the playground. Helping on the playground is not only a great way to be of service to the school, but parents get the added kick of being able to watch their children play with classmates. Volunteer supervisors are needed daily from 11:30-12:30, and Tuesdays are especially in need of more help. If you can give one hour for one day a week - or one hour for one day every other week - please email Trina and Lisa to discuss your availability and learn what is involved in this critical volunteer role.
 

Want to get into the Christmas spirit and log some volunteer hours at the same time? We're in need of help on Friday, December 2, and Saturday, December 3, to hold the annual St. Nicholas Breakfast and Bazaar. It's going to be a great time! You can sign up to help for a full-shift, or sign up for a half-shift and be able to block off time to enjoy the breakfast/shopping with your family.  Please visit the SignUpGenius here to view available slots.


Thank You, Volunteers!
          We had a successful fall Open House on Monday, and thank these parents for helping with hospitality and greeting: Erin Aitken, Michelle Kujath, Kristy Charles, Amy Thielman  Nancy Tribolet, Megan Kirk, Dianne Sloss, Paula Hollerbach, Anh Phan, Jennifer Magnusen, and Danielle Macino.

Help Your Friends & Family Buy Gift Cards for Christmas Shopping!
Use a Charger Card drop-off order form and offer to help your neighbor/relative buy gift cards for upcoming Christmas gifts and Thanksgiving shopping! Purchase cards for them or have friends/family register with their own online account linked to your family's rebate account. Everyone shops around the holiday season - let's run their shopping through Charger Cards and support St. Louise! Charger Cards are great this time of year for:
  • Groceries for Thanksgiving dinner;
  • Black Friday and Cyber Monday gifts for Christmas shopping.

       

Every Driver Should Have a Gas Charger Card in Their Wallet!\
Buy a gas card from the Charger Card office, and then u se a Sharpie pen to write "RELOAD" on it. Keep that card in your wallet and reload it as it runs down its balance. You simply need to register that gas card online and reload at regular intervals at www.shopwithscrip.com or www.myscripwallet.com. Never toss a plastic gas card again! This works like a pre-paid charge card! Here are two great tips for St. Louise families:
  • Your Shell Gas card receives the "Cash" price at the new Shell on Main & 148th (across from Starbucks and 7-11).
  • One family had only $20 left on their "Reload" card. They pumped gas while they used the shop with scrip app on their iPhone to reload their Charger Card. Once they pumped the $20, they got their receipt and used the same card (now reloaded) to pump enough to fill their tank. The reload process was instant and St. Louise continues to get the rebates!
 
Buy Charger Cards over Thanksgiving Break Either Online or with Your Phone
Learn how to use Charger Cards from your phone and increase your support for St. Louise! Our online website has an app and mobile website. The app makes it easy to purchase, use, and track online Charger Cards. See the video that shows you how to use MyScripWallet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GCTsphfqqw.
 

Java, Maura, Julia, and Rithika stopped playing at recess only long enough for this 10 second pose for a photo.







 
If you have a photo of your kids participating in school, parish, or community events, send them to Dan Fitzpatrick for possible publishing in an upcoming Parent Bulletin and/or to Catherine Saffel for possible inclusion in the end-of-year School Yearbook.
