ARRIVAL/DISMISSAL PROCEDURES
Before School
7:30 to 8:00 a.m. is the normal arrival time for students. Many working parents need to drop their children at an earlier time,
so arrangements have been made for Falcon's Nest to be open in the morning from 6:30 to 7:40 a.m
. Any child arriving before 7:30 a.m. will be sent to Falcon's Nest and a bill will be sent monthly.
School begins at 8:00 a.m. It is important that all students are in the classroom by the 8:00 a.m. bell. Parents driving their children to school are to enter the school grounds through the driveways on Holliston and drop their children off at the appropriate site. Parents are to pull their vehicles up as far as possible before releasing their children. Vehicles exiting onto Hill Avenue are to make a right turn only. Parents are not to park on Hill Avenue or Cordova Street to drop off or pick up their children before or after school. This is for everyone's safety. Please see the traffic plan sheet that is sent home in the August packet for details.

Sign-ups for this event will occur before the event via an online sign up (Sign-Up Genius).
Each family is required to work 4 hours for the event.
All Fall Fest hours worked are counted first toward the event requirement, and then all hours over 4 will be applied to school hours.
These hours will be reflected as Fall Fest hours on your account even if they roll over to school hours.
YOU MUST SIGN IN AND OUT AT FEST AND SUBMIT YOUR HOURS ONLINE.
Purchased items for fall fest will count at SCHOOL hours. All families need to work the event.
If your requirements are not up to date (TB, Virtues, fingerprinting) YOU CANNOT WORK THE FALL FEST.

Please do not send students to school with glass water bottles. Glass is not allowed for the safety of all!

During both arrival and dismissal times, please do not make left turns from our driveway onto Hill Avenue. This causes traffic backup in the driveway traffic lanes.

MESSAGE FROM THE PTO PRESIDENTS
|
A letter requesting sponsorship for the Fall Fest went home a few weeks ago which listed the different ways that you can help underwrite the event. We hope that you will consider becoming a sponsor to help underwrite one of PTO's biggest fundraisers of the year. For those of you who have committed to a sponsorship...thank you! We appreciate the support.
We would like to take a moment to thank Diane McCullough & Susan Harden for coordinating the "Choose Love" speaker last Wednesday. We were so excited to see so many parents in attendance to learn about the new addition to the school curriculum. For those of you that missed it, Mr. W & Ms. Natalie were nice enough to record the event, and have posted it to the school's
YouTube station
. I hope that you will check it out, as it was both touching and informative.
Be sure to save the date of April 13, 2019 for the Red Tie Ball at the Castaways in Burbank. The management of Castaways was nice enough to invite our Red Tie Ball Chairs, Kathleen & Shoshana, as well as Maria & I to dinner there this past week. We were able to sample the new menu in the newly renovated space, and it was amazing. So, mark your calendars now for what will be one of the best red tie balls St. Philip has ever hosted.
Speaking of auction, did you know that we offer St. Philip exclusives that can be bid on at the event? Parents can bid on items such as: King & Queen of the Fall Fest, the front row at the Christmas Worship Service, and reserved parking for a year. The parking spot is reserved this year for the Bilac Family who supported our school with their generous purchase. Please show your thanks by not parking in their spot.
|
Ralph Breaks the Internet is coming out soon so join us in watching the original animated movie, Wreck-It Ralph, on Friday, October 5, in Holy Angels Hall, 6 - 9 pm.

There will also be a raffle with cool movie items to win. So bring a blanket and pillow, get comfy and enjoy a night at the movies.

Sports Boosters are in need of Fall sports photos for the Falcon sports kiosk. The kiosk is located outside Holy Angel Hall by the school lunch tables.

SPAS will participate in the Crayola ColorCycle it program this school year! It is very simple. Send used markers in to school and reduce waste. It is that easy. So, don't throw out that used marker-- ColorCycle it!

Are you ready to do a really good deed and knock off your four parish hours in one fell swoop? Did you know that there are approximately 500 homeless people sleeping on the streets of Pasadena every night? This is a great opportunity to help alleviate an on-going problem in our community, to personally provide a great example to your children, and to feel really good about yourself in a lasting way.
Consider preparing and serving dinner to the homeless of Pasadena on the fourth Sunday of the month. St. Philip the Apostle School is looking for adult volunteers to purchase food (for which you will be reimbursed) and to lead six eighth graders in preparing and serving dinner to 60 homeless men and women at the Union Station Shelter on Raymond Avenue in Pasadena. Service hours will count for either the school or the parish, whichever you prefer. For details, contact Mimi Stolpe at [email protected]

We need help with set up, tear down, and child care in the hall! We also need donations of wine bottles. Please email [email protected] for info and questions!
