Dear St. Mark Families,
I'm happy to share with you that our St. Mark School Pre-K and Kindergarten Open House was a overwhelming success! Over 20 families visited our school and all were impressed with our welcoming community and what our school has to offer. I'd like to take this opportunity to express my deep gratitude to everyone who made the day possible, including our St. Mark School Marketing Committee, our Pre-K and Kindergarten teachers, Mrs. Larracuente, Mrs. Arena, and Mrs. Dudzinski, our Parent and Student Ambassadors, and School Advisory Board Members for taking the time to share what makes our school community special with perspective new families.

Important Reminder:
It has been brought to my attention that CCD facilitators and member of our evening cleaning crew are being asked to unlock classroom doors after hours. Under direction from the Diocese and the Parish, all classroom and building doors are to be closed and locked. Unfortunately, once classroom doors are closed for the evening, please do not ask anyone to reopen them. I appreciate your understanding of this policy.

Parents of Students in Grades 5-8:
Please be advised that while the temperatures have dropped, I still encourage the faculty to take their class outdoors for recess, when the temperature is above freezing (32 degrees). Please ensure that your child comes to school with proper winter attire to ensure they have an opportunity to participate in outdoor recess with their peers.
