September 9 |
Dear Friends,
The week ahead is one of those weeks that requires a lot of patience and understanding, but the payoff is more than worth it. Our Lady of the Assumption Church will be hosting the annual Septemberfest. This is a great event for both the parish and school communities.
First the need for patience. As you know Assumption Catholic School will have a shortened week due to the need to set-up for Septemberfest. Thursday will be an 11:15 AM early dismissal for all students. It is important that all students are picked up promptly at 11:15 AM.
There will not be after care on this day. There will be no school for students on Friday as the parking lot will not be accessible.
The rides and trailers will start to arrive on Monday. It is crucial that all parents follow the standard drop-off and pick-up procedure everyday, but more so this week. There will be less room to move around the parking lot and for the safety of our students, staff, and families all drivers must use caution in the parking lot.
The payoff that will make all of the traffic issues and missed school worthwhile is three days of family fun, community building, and a chance to share our kindness with other Catholic school families struggling through the hurricanes.
I hope that you will bring your family and friends to enjoy these three days of food, fun, and community. Make sure to stop by our tent near the front entrance to the school. We will have a dunk tank to try your hand at dunking teachers and classmates. We will also be selling light-up fidget spinners for $5 and glow stick bracelets for $1. 100% of the money raised with these sales will be sent to support Catholic schools hit by the hurricanes.
I look forward to seeing you all there, I might even take a turn in the dunk tank!
Many Blessings,
Steven J. Santoli
Principal

Relief Effort for Hurricane Victims
School Wide Dress Down Day, September 14
Our hearts and prayers are with Catholic schools and all those affected by Hurricane Harvey. In keeping with our mission to serve others, we have heard from many in our school family asking how they can help.
On Thursday, September 14, all students and staff are invited to dress out of uniform and wear their own clothes to school. Students are asked to donate at least $1 for this privilege. Students donating $5 or more will receive a special thank you gift. All proceeds will be donated directly to students and schools like ours affected by the destruction of Hurricane Harvey.
The National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA) has launched a campaign to help Catholic schools impacted by the storm to rebuild, reopen and re-enroll students. "Student to Student: A Catholic School Response to Hurricane Harvey" is a powerful opportunity to engage students in living the Gospel message of compassionate service and generosity to others.

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.
