All St. Luke parents and guardians are invited to Curriculum Night tonight. This adults-only event will provide a general overview of curriculum as well as grade level expectations. Sign up sheets for Room Parents will be in each classroom, as well. The night begins in Waldron Hall at 6:00 pm. Click  here for more information.

Pizza will be served and students may wear Bearcat spirit wear.

Reminder - on spirit wear days, students may wear any St. Luke shirt, including sports jerseys and Walk-a-Thon t-shirts. Shorts may be worn during the summer uniform period, but they must be Bermuda length, reaching approximately 1 inch above the knee. Jeans and sweat/track pants are also acceptable, but absolutely no leggings allowed. Sandals with a back (no flip flops), and athletic shoes are acceptable if properly laced. Shoes worn should be safe, practical, and age appropriate.  In addition, no show socks may be worn but should match in color.

There will be no classes on Monday, September 2 in observance of Labor Day. Enjoy the long weekend!

Please join us as we celebrate our first Mass of the new school year on Wednesday, September 4th at 8:30 am in the Church. The eighth grade students will lead the celebration and all are welcome to attend.

Students in preschool through 7th grade will have their pictures taken on Tuesday, September 10th (8th grade picture day is later in the school year). Students in these grades may come out of uniform for picture day. Order forms will be sent home with students next week.

Just a friendly reminder that the school doors open for students promptly at 8:00 am. We have noticed some students being dropped off quite early but this is not acceptable as there is no adult supervision outside of school before 8:00. Any student that arrives at school prior to 7:50 am will be sent to morning EDS and those parents will be charged the $5 fee. Thanks so much for your cooperation and understanding.

Thanks so much to those families who have already turned in their child(ren)'s health forms. If you have not done so already please make sure to turn them in to the school office no later than Friday, September 13th. As a reminder, health forms must be turned in for all new students, as well as all students in kindergarten and 6th grade.

St. Luke fall fanwear is now available. Visit the online pop-up store to get your Bearcat gear for the whole family! Store closes Tuesday, September 10. Don’t miss out!

Please join us at Murphy’s next Thursday as the Bears kickoff the regular season against the Packers. Game starts at 7:20pm. Complimentary pizza and drink specials will be on offer.
