November 26 |
Dear Friends,
Thanksgiving has come and gone and it seems our attentions turn immediately to the coming Christmas season. As the hustle and bustle of Black Friday shopping fades into our collective memory and many of us gear up for online savings during Cyber Monday, I invite you to take a moment to think about giving. Not giving the latest device or hottest new toy, but giving the gift of a transformative Assumption Catholic School education.
Giving Tuesday is a national day of giving to nonprofit organizations. For the first time Assumption will participate in this day of philanthropy. If you value our students and want to help them receive the best faith based education possible, please consider donating on Tuesday, November 28. At Assumption we strive to make our tuition affordable for each family that desires a Catholic education. Tuition covers roughly 75% of the cost to educate our students. To fill this gap we count on the generosity of our donors.
Every donation, large or small, makes an immediate positive impact on our students.
Your generosity and consideration is greatly appreciated by the students, staff, and families of Assumption Catholic School.
To make a secure online donation click the link below. Checks can also be sent to the main office.
Many Blessings,
Steven J. Santoli
Principal

As a thank you, Mr. Santoli will allow anybody that donates to wear their favorite football (or any sport) jersey over their uniform.

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.
