A Message from Mrs. Anderson

Dear Families,
Though Thanksgiving is over, it is time to get ready for Advent and Christmas. Our Saturday evening 5:00 Mass will open our holy season and I look forward to all families being present for the Mass and the Christmas story program in the church. Following the retelling of the beautiful story, we will gather in Stack for the lighting of the tree and Fr. Tom’s blessing on us all. Let us all cherish this season of the year not for the shopping and hubbub, but for the opportunity to come together as families in the spirit of Jesus Christ and all the blessings He has bestowed upon us.
CORE VALUE:
Truth: We solve problems creatively, never quitting until the job is done.
Second Grade Parents:
Reminder that on Saturday morning, December 2, 2017 at 10:00 we will celebrate First Reconciliation in church with the parish families going through the First Communion program.
Christmas Program: Saturday evening after the 5:00 Mass all the student body will be participating in our annual Christmas story. It is expected that all students will be part of the performance. If unable to attend, I need notification by tomorrow, November 30th.

Parking Lot and Morning Assembly
Driving through the parking lot at drop off and pick up: Please limit your speed to 5 mph in the parking lot when children are around. This is a very important safety issue.
Please be sure your child is on time
at the first bell as at the second bell each student has to be in his/her class line to avoid a Tardy slip.
Parents, please stand at the back of the class lines
so the class lines are paying full attention to the Student Council prayer time and pledge. Please do not walk your child to the gate to enter school.

Absences and Doctor's Appointments
When your child is absent or has a doctor's appointment and will be arriving late or leaving early, please email your child's teacher and the school secretary at
csanchez@csdo.org
. Please turn in a doctor's excuse to the school office.
Please make sure your child has not vomited and is fever free for 24 hours before returning to school.
