Greetings!
At the conclusion of the 2016-2017 school year, we began renovations to hallways and 18 classrooms in the school’s Building 3 — the three-floor area connected to Marianist Hall along Franklin Street . We completed the third floor renovations in time for the start of school in August, but classrooms on the second and first floors remained under construction. Yesterday, we announced to students and our teachers that the renovation project is completed and we will begin using these newly-renovated classes starting on Monday, December 4. Students will receive schedules with new room numbers for their classes by Friday.
Additionally, we also announced that thanks to several generous benefactors, CJ will begin installation of an elevator. This will be located near the Ludlow Street entrance closest to Washington Street and once completed, will provide second floor access to the school’s gym and auditorium for those with limited mobile abilities.
Because of the new construction, the entrance to the school at the corner of Ludlow and Washington Streets will be closed until the elevator construction is complete. Students were also informed that they will not have access to the stairwell for all floors at that side of the building. Additionally, fans and guests for basketball games will be directed to an alternate entrance. There will be no restriction to the gym entrance from the second floor hallway. More details about this exciting development can be found in the Community Update story below.
Thank you for continuing to provide your child the best learning experience in the Dayton area, as we continue to enhance our campus as a welcoming place for all.

From the Chaplain's Office
Happy New Year! You might think that I am about a month early with this greeting, but this Sunday – the First Sunday of Advent – begins a New Church Year. Advent is a season of great hope and expectation as we prepare our hearts to receive Jesus – not only the Child born in the manger at Bethlehem, but also the Son of God who knocks at the door of our hearts every day.
