St. Cecilia will be distributing technology equipment and school supplies on Thursday, September 3 between 1:00pm - 3:00pm. Please use this link to the Sign-Up Genius and select a time to pick up your school- issued technology device and other school supplies. 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.

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.

Hopes & Fears Conferences - Sept. 1st - 3rd |
Our first Parent-Teacher conferences of the year will be scheduled from September 1st - 3rd. All of the conferences will take place virtually, and parents will be given the opportunity to sign up for a specific 10-15 minute time slot. All parents are expected to have a Hopes and Fears Conference with each of their child(ren)’s teacher(s). Students do not need to attend the Hopes and Fears Conference, but are always welcome. The purpose of the Hopes & Fears Conference is for the parent(s) to share their hopes and their fears for their child specific to the upcoming school year. The Teacher’s responsibility in these meetings is to listen, take notes, and learn as much as possible about each student. After class lists are distributed on August 24, homeroom teachers will be reaching out to families to schedule the virtual Hopes & Fears Conferences. |
