Girls' Luau Event

ARE YOU RECEIVING 'REMIND' TEXT MESSAGES?

All parents/guardians are asked to make sure to sign up for 'Remind' text messages. It is very vital that each parent or guardian sign up to receive important information that is sent out from school. Please don't miss any messages! Sign up info is found near the door of your child's classroom.

VIRTUS TRAINING

Parents who plan to volunteer at school during the coming school year must be Virtus trained. Virtus is the child safety training program that all adults who work and volunteer around children at church or school must complete. It focuses on appropriate interactions with children. There is no cost to you. Virtus certification must be updated every four years through a 1 1/2 hour re-certification class. You must complete Virtus 1 before doing a re-certification. The safety of our children is extremely important to all. Please be sure to attend a training if you plan on volunteering/helping out at school.

To find locations for Virtus training please click on the link below and scroll to (Archdiocese of) Los Angeles location. St. Ignatius falls under the San Fernando Region, but you may attend a Virtus class in any of the five Regions in LA County.


Please be sure to obtain a certificate and bring it to the school office so we can make a copy for our files. All Staff, Parent Board, Room Parents, and Volunteers must be Virtus trained for the safety of our students.
Financial Responsibilities

A friendly reminder to all families who are making tuition payments on the 5th of the month that payment is coming up.
Thank you to those who have submitted their SmartTuition payments, or stopped by to take care of their payments.
Our program cannot run with out everyone's cooperation in paying the tuition payments that were agreed upon in the family contract. We are so grateful that you value your child's Catholic education and make your consistent payments so that our teachers and staff can receive their salaries. Our teachers are paid well under what public school teachers make, and work just as hard. They are truly an example of living out the ministry of education. We are blessed to have them.

Did You Know? ... Nondiscrimination Policy

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL NONDISCRIMINATION POLICY 2018-2019
The school, mindful of its mission to be a witness to the love of Christ for all, admits students regardless of race, color, national origin, and/or ethnic origin to all rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school.
The school does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, disability, medical condition, sex, or national and/or ethnic origin in the administration of educational policies and practices, scholarship programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs, although certain athletic leagues and other programs may limit participation and some archdiocesan schools operate as single-sex schools.
While the school does not discriminate against students with special needs, a full range of services may not always be available to them. Decisions concerning the admission and continued enrollment of a student in the school are based upon the student's emotional, academic, and physical abilities and the resources available to the school in meeting the student's needs.
