Dear Parents,

Thank you for your continued patience and understanding as we continue to navigate positive cases and close contacts. Thank you also to everyone who has signed up with the Affinity program for free testing at school. We do not anticipate using this for random testing but it will be a way for us to offer screenings, which may allow classes to rejoin more quickly and without parents having to set up/pay for outside screenings. Preregistration of all the students will make this process work as efficiently as possible. 

We’ll continue to follow safe practices at school. Please continue to monitor your family and keep children at home and contact the health room if there are any symptoms. 

Reminders: 
  • Monday is our annual Smyth Fund Golf Tournament.
  • Next Thursday, we will have an early dismissal day so that we can hold an Open House after the children are dismissed. 
  • Next Friday, we will be closed for an archdiocesan collaboration day. 
  • We will not be having the traditional Halloween parade. All celebrations will be occurring in the classrooms 

Faithfully,
Chris Kelly

Free Dress Day
Students may come in costume.
12:30 dismissal

Unfortunately, we will not be able to host our annual Halloween Parade. Room parents will email information about individual class Halloween parties.


Our “Baby Bottle” Campaign ended today, and we are grateful to everyone who was able to contribute.

Even if you were unable to participate, please return your bottle so that it may be used for another fundraiser. If you happened to forget your bottle today, it’s never too late! We are happy to accept your money anytime, although it will not be included in the class totals after today.  But, more importantly, it will still help moms who are in need of our CARE.(An exception will be made for those classes under
quarantine.)

Stay tune! We look forward to sharing the class pizza and ice cream social winners as well as the total raised by the school soon.

From the 6th grade, we thank you for so generously thinking of others!
