When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, "Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb."
Luke 1:41-42
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Your children have done an excellent job in transitioning into the new school year. Thank you for all of your cooperation and support. You're awesome!
Please allow me to share our immense appreciation for the trust and confidence that you place in us, the administrators, teachers and support staff, by choosing to enroll and continue enrollment at Most Blessed Sacrament Catholic School. We love your children and are grateful for the opportunity to provide this ministry of the Catholic Church to your family. We look forward to another outstanding year of faith, academics and extra-curricular activities.
On our first day, September 5th, our school met on the front walk to offer prayer and thanksgiving for the blessing of a new school year. Our wonderful student council led us in prayer. We were pleased to have so many parents, grandparents and visitors join us.

RAINY DAY DISMISSAL
On days when it is raining heavily and/or there is lightning at dismissal time, we will
follow a rainy day dismissal procedure. On those days, students will be dismissed from the fro
n
t doors of the school. Parents will line up in their vehicles in the regular pick-up line. Please wait until the staff signals the cars to pull around to the front of the building where staff will call for the children to come out to their vehicle. We ask that parents make a sign (8.5" x 11") with the children's last names on the sign and place that sign on the right side of the vehicle's dash board.

Each Thursday
and occasionally on other days of significance, our school will attend Mass at St. John Neumann Church. Our joi
ning together to celebrate Liturgy is a very special experience for our school community. We encourage family member
s to join us as schedules permit. We ask that children arrive to school no later than 8:10 a.m. on all days and especially on Thursday or days on which we are attending Mass. Thank you, in advance, for your cooperation.
