Dear Parents,

The 2018-2019 school year is off to a great start! The children are adjusting to their schedules, 
Pre-K has begun, and the hallways are full of smiling children. This warms my heart! 

This year I would like to focus on a theme for our students and teachers; one that we focus on in our work of formation in faith. Our theme for this year is: "Being positive and trusting in the Lord's plan." 

The quote chosen as the legacy left to us from the Graduates of the Class of 2018 this year is:

"Be strong and courageous; do not be afraid; for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."
                                                                                      Joshua 1:9
 
                  
 I will be making my way into the classrooms to speak to the children about how important it is to have faith, be positive, and trust in God's plan for us. I encourage you, as parents, to also consider this theme in your role as the first educators in faith formation for your children. 

Faithfully Yours, 

Miss Giaquinto

A Few Important Notes:
  • Morning Drop Off: PLEASE be mindful of the morning drop off procedures. It is highly recommended that you drop off your child off in the car line at the sidewalk where the faculty are stationed. If you choose to park your car, then you MUST walk across to the family center sidewalk and follow the path to the school building.  Please DO NOT cross in  front of the car line. This is dangerous and is a safety issue. So please for the safety of our children and parents I ask that you adhere to the rules.  Thank you.
  • Please be very attentive and careful when driving into the parking lot especially during  morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up. Please do not park on the curb side of the church building at any time. The buses are having a hard time making the turn into the entrance when cars are parked there. Thank you for your cooperation. 
  • If you have not already done so, please be sure to complete your online VIRTUS training or re-certification and send a copy of the report to: Mrs. Laura Hurley. Any one wishing to volunteer in the building or chaperone a field-trip must be Virtus certified.
