Principal's Message
Greetings:

I hope you and your family enjoyed a relaxing and healthy Thanksgiving. We are now in the time of Advent where we await the birth of Jesus and the JOY he brings to our souls. It is a time of hope, love, joy, and peace.
My wish is that each of us can us this time to spread goodness to others and to share our gifts with those most in need. Our children model what we do. Show your children what it looks like to be a good soul during this Christmas season.

Our Annual Santa's Workshop is virtual this year! Put your orders in from Dec. 1st until Dec. 4th.
See the Bobcat e-envelope for a flyer and information on how you and your child can order your Christmas gifts. All orders will be delivered to your home for your safety and convenience.

St. Patricia's Jr. Honors Society will be spreading Christmas cheer on Friday, Dec. 4th to all the classroom with a Virtual St. Nicholas presentation. Each student will receive a candy cane and will be asked to draw a picture of someone to pray for.

**Arrival for the Winter Months**
Due to the cold weather, and its effect on the thermometers, arrival will change beginning on Monday, Dec. 7th. Cars will continue to follow the same route through the parking lot, however, students will then immediately leave their vehicles and walk to their entrance door. Students will check-in, have their temperatures taken, and hands sanitized before being sent to their classrooms.
  • PreK through 2nd Grade Enter Door 15
  • 3rd through 8th Grade Enter Main Doors
Parents: Be considerate to others: Please do not leave your vehicles or walk your children to the doors.

Face Mask Maintenance
We are so happy that our students wear their face masks in school, but we have noticed that some students are wearing the same masks everyday. It is very important that masks be clean and sanitized daily. Please check your child's masks often and replace them with clean masks when needed.

Wear Your Mask (over your nose, too!)
Wash your hands frequently
Stay at least 6 ft. away from others
Quarantine members of your household who are exposed or have tested positive.
Stay home if you are sick or have been exposed to someone with a known COVID case
Get Tested if you exhibit symptoms.
Call the school immediately if your child or someone in your family is sick or has tested positive.


Stay healthy & safe. Enjoy a blessed Weekend!

Blessings,
Mrs. Nowinski
