June 20, 2018

Congratulations to the "Family of 2018". We are proud of you and wish you the very best. We keep you in our prayers always.

I extend my gratitude to the school and parish community. We have had a very active year with many changes and transitions. I am grateful for the partnership as we fulfill our school's mission of sharing God's love, instilling high academic values and guiding our students to understand who they are and what they can contribute to the world.

I am honored to have worked beside Ms. Penny Hays for 28 years. Ms. Hays is taking a well deserved vacation to travel and spend time with her family. We will be planning an Alumni Reunion in September and reunite Ms. Hays with her former students and families. If you are an alumni and would like to help us with this event, please let us know!

We invite you to join us tomorrow, June 21 at 5:00 p.m. to celebrate with our beloved Dominican Friars as we begin to wish them farewell and Godspeed.
In partnership,
Mrs. Fely Fajardo
Principal

Keep up your reading & math skills during the Summer!

Summer reading and math packets were sent home with students on the last day of school.  If your student did not receive his/her packets or is unable to locate them, please down load them below.

STUDENTS SHOULD COMPLETE THE PACKET FOR THE GRADE THEY JUST COMPLETED!
(ie. your student was in 5th grade for 17-18 then they complete the packet for 3rd-5th grades, not 6th & 7th grades)




(example shown is at a 3rd grade level)



Remember to
PICK UP YOUR STUDENT MEDICATIONS
from the school office!

Does your student have medications on file with the school office?  Remember to come by the school office no later than Friday, June 22nd to pick them up.  Medications cannot be given to students. 
An adult must come to the office to sign off and receive the medications.  Medications not picked cannot be stored over the summer months and will be disposed of properly.
