Dear St. Cecilia Parents,

Hello, and welcome back to another amazing year here at St. Cecilia Catholic School. I hope this finds you all well and as excited as we are to begin a new school year! And, to all of our new families, welcome! My name is Jeff Matthews and I am your Principal here at St. Cecilia.

I would first like to apologize for the late communications surrounding the first week of school, sneak-a-peek, and our Hopes & Fears conferences. Conceptually, we feel strongly it is the right thing to do for our students. In retrospect, I apologize for not communicating the changes earlier in the summer.

As we begin this new school year I am thrilled to share with you the numerous program and campus and improvements we have made over the summer.
Program Improvements
  • To support our commitment to the Four Pillars of Improvement, we have purchased brand new classroom resources, including many many new books, to facilitate our Balanced Literacy initiative in EPK through third grade.

  • Over the summer our entire staff read Teaching With Love & Logic. And, after attending a Love and Logic professional development session this past week, our teachers are excited to welcome your children into our Caring Community built on love, respect, relationships, and high expectations for how behave and treat each other.

  • In addition, we have added new Human Resources to allow us to provide improved services to our students, teachers, and parents. Namely, a Literacy Coach, a new Business Manager, and an additional Associate in the Office of Community Engagement.

  • We have significantly upgraded our campus network server, added 6 new backlit Smartboards to replace older versions in classrooms, and purchased 250 new Chromebooks for our one-to-one Chromebook program.
Campus Improvements
  • As far as our facilities, upon entering the school tomorrow you will likely notice multiple facilities enhancements:

  • We have painted the front entry way of the school, the "clouds" (floated ceilings) in the downstairs hallways, the Cafeteria (picture above) and Cafeteria (Bridges) hallway, and the Gym (picture above). We would like to thank St. Cecilia parent Mrs. Kimberley Barrett for her assistance in picking out the colors and design ideas for painting these spaces.

  • We have upgraded the entire audio / video system in the auditorium - and replaced all of the window blinds.

  • In the Gymnasium we have installed four new glass backboards and rims and a 3-pole Volleyball system to allow of for volleyball courts to be set up simultaneously. In addition, we replaced all gym lighting with new LED lights to improve the lighting and become more energy efficient. We also added new solar screens to the outside of the west facing gym windows to cut down on the glare, the heat, and provide improved evening lighting in the gym.

  • We also performed significant maintenance on the field to de-weed and fertilize.

  • In the Pavilion, we replaced all pavilion lighting with LED lighting, will be adding new glass backboards and rims to the pavilion next week, and will be adding a three layer rolled rubber floor later this semester.
These program and campus improvements are a direct result of your generosity and support of St. Cecilia Catholic School. 

We thank you and look forward to continuing to partner with you to build the school our children deserve.

God bless you and we look forward to seeing you tomorrow at school, this Friday at the Back To School Bash , and to a great year of being courageous!
