Remote Learner Item Distribution & Pick Up |
St. Cecilia Catholic School will be distributing technology equipment and school supplies on Thursday, September 3 between 1:00pm - 3:00pm. There will be a Sign-Up Genius emailed directly to our families that have chosen the remote learning option. You will be asked to drive through the front of the school parking lot toward the library entrance near the field gates. This is what has traditionally been referred to as the HOV carpool drive. You will pull up to the side door entrance of the library, provide your name, and someone will bring your supplies to your car. |

Fall 2020 Parish Soccer Information - Player & Coaches |
Our Middle School Art Teacher and coach of a few different sports these last few years, Sammy Chaffee, is the new Athletic Coordinator for both Saint Cecilia Catholic School and for our St. Cecilia Parish Sports. After careful consideration, we have decided along with the WHCSA League, to continue with our Parish sports soccer program. Please click HERE for a list of health & safety mandates from WHCSA (West Houston Christian Sports Association).
The Parish sports program run by the WHCSA is different than the school sports league (mostly for middle school age students - the GHCAA - who have postponed sports until January 2021).
-
To register your child to play, and to volunteer to be a coach please use this link.
-
If you would like to volunteer to coach a team, you must have a Safeguarding registry, which is equivalent to being Virtus Certified. Click HERE for more information.
Parish sports soccer is for girls and boys for ages PreK to 5th/6th grade; the soccer teams are NOT co-ed. We play at St. Cecilia Catholic School at our soccer field for home games and practices . Please keep in mind if we do not meet the amount of numbers required for players and if we don’t have a coach we will not have the soccer team for that grade level. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to Sammy Chaffee if you have any questions.
