Dear Parents,
We are so excited to have all of our students back at school with us as begin another wonderful semester at Corpus Christi Catholic School. Registration forms for the 2020-2021 school year were sent home last week with the youngest student in each family. Please complete the forms and return by January 24 with the $150.00 registration fee, per child, to secure your child's placement for next year.
After January 24, there will be a $50.00 late fee per child. All accounts (tuition, after school, etc.) must be current in order to register for the upcoming school year. If you are not returning next year, please let the school office know of your plans.

Each month students learn a Bible verse and recite it together at school during our morning prayers. We also pray a particular prayer each month.
Our Bible Verse for January is Philippians 4:13
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
Our prayer focus is the
“Anima Christi”

2nd Quarter Award Ceremony
|
|
We received feedback from our parents concerning our awards ceremony. As a result, we have made a change to our quarterly awards recognition. We will continue to recognize students who are receiving the Christian Attitude Award at Mass on Tuesday, but our academic award ceremony has been moved to
Friday, January 24. It will begin at 8:15
in the gym. Hopefully, this change will accommodate parents who were unable to attend later in the morning.

Students will have the opportunity to raise money for St. Jude Hospital by participating in the Math-A-Thon this week and next. We are so proud of our students for working hard to raise money for this worthy cause.
