ST. LOUISE SCHOOL PARENT BULLETIN

October 3, 2019
Dan's Blog
Last week, you received your personal invitation to our 2019 Auction, We Are One - what is being billed as THEE event of the year on Saturday, November 9. It is always so much fun to enjoy a fancy evening out - with fellow St. Louise parents, friends, family members, and school supporters...and without kids (you know what I mean). We would like you to fill out your registration online now and reserve your seat, choose your entrĂ©e, and get on the list to receive an Auction catalog.

When you reserve your seat, you have the option to additionally help "send a teacher to the Auction" (sort of like "send a kid to camp") by paying for a faculty dinner online now. We appreciate those parents who do this, offsetting the cost of a teacher's admission!
 
You also can reserve your Raffle tickets online now, before they all sell out. There are three different Raffles, offering anything from cash to spend at the Auction to cash to pay your Catholic school tuition. These are described in the "How to Auction" flyer that was sent home.

If you are new to St. Louise School, don't know much about how Auctions work, and are hesitant to commit to attending, let me assure you how easy it all is. You simply:
  1. Pay for your dinner/admission online now;
  2. Show up on November 9th at the Westin Bellevue (free parking in the Lincoln Square garage);
  3. Bring at least two credit cards in your wallet.

Seriously, the Auction is a special event that of course has as its main purpose the raising of necessary funds for our school and so relies on your financial generosity, but it also serves the secondary purpose of providing a fun, social night for parents. When you attend the Auction, you get to know your fellow parents better, as you may note on the reservation page, for example, that you'd like to be seated with all 2nd grade parents. Prior to dinner and the "live" bidding, when doing the "silent" bidding, you'll have a chance to not just mingle with fellow parents, but also to socialize with the school teachers.

 
Besides the amazing attendees you'll hobnob with on Auction night, what's also special about our Auction is, that by placing it in November, we've created a perfect opportunity for you to get your Christmas shopping done. You can buy gifts for your kids, bid on family vacations to take over Christmas/Easter/summer breaks, and find something special for your spouse. And your Christmas shopping provides revenue for your children's school, not for Amazon. So, it's a win-win-win situation. You have a fun social event, you get to shop, and you help St. Louise School raise money.

You'll notice that our Auction logo this year contains a disco ball. That's because this year the secondary theme of the Auction (after the "We Are One" theme) is disco! Some of you might not even have been born when disco was all the rage, but if you go here you can be inspired on potential wardrobe choices. If you can't find that perfect Donna-Summer-dress or John-Travolta-suit, it's also fine to simply dress in your Sunday-best on Auction night.
 
When the Auction catalogs are sent to you soon after you register to attend, you'll be able to start marking on the catalog pages all the great items that will be up for bid. I was able to get a sneak peek at the catalog draft and loved so many of the items on which you'll be able to bid. Here are just a few examples of the hundreds of gifts, surprises, and special memories you can purchase if you come to the Auction:
  • Florida Vacation: includes visit to the Kennedy Space Center and lunch with an astronaut!
  • Harry Potter: Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is a new play that had record-breaking productions in London, New York and Melbourne, and its West Coast premiere will be in San Francisco; we're auctioning off these rare San Francisco play tickets!
  • Axe Throwing: yes, I said axe throwing;
  • Seahawks: tickets to a game in December;
  • Tailgating or Camping: a Yeti cooler, Traeger Smoker and BBQ will all be up for bid, so you can up your entertaining game;
  • Ascend: there's going to be a parents-night-out at this fabulous restaurant/bar in downtown Bellevue.
But I'm getting ahead of myself talking about the fabulous items up-for-bid in the yet-to-be-distributed Auction catalog. First things first - please RSVP online now . Immediately thereafter, please spread the word via texts, emails, Instagram, or dare you... face-to-face! to your fellow school parents, friends, and extended family members about the enjoyable and worthy reasons why you just signed up to attend our Auction, and how you'd like them to also register and to note that you'd like to sit at the same dinner table.
 
If you have more Auction questions, please contact Auction director  Julianne Read or one of the hard-working committee chairs, whom I'd like to name and thank here:

Margie Clinton, Paul McCulloch, Mike Kirby, Jon & Jennifer Sharp, Rebecca Ort, Joni Hoffman, Edna Kovacs-Hewett, Jen & Peter Newton, Angie Ogilvy, Amy Thielman, Annabelle Gegus, Babna Rose Thomas; Lavina Goveas, Laura Van Noy, Mika Walker, Renee Craddock, Kathy Hueffed, Natalie Remedios, Liz DeBord, Amy Wilken, Anneliese Kertson, Erika Mervin, Janey Rabon, Rena Piercy, Ingrid Flaat, Rochelle & Rey Lagunero, Jonathan Taasan, Shiji Varuthattil, Tom Brennan, John D'Costa, Ann Marie Sweeney, Gabby Schmidt.

Enjoy God's blessings today,                                         
Mr. Fitz
 
p.s.

Last Friday, I texted all school parents with a vital message, but we had a glitch. I apologize. The text asked if you would like to continue receiving text messages from school for emergency-use purposes (such as snow-days or lock-downs). Unfortunately, the initial text last Friday morning got cut-off, and many parents didn't reply to it as we needed.

If you did not reply to Friday's text with a "YES" or to a subsequent text this week with a "YES," please find one of those texts on your phone's history and reply by texting back "YES" to that message. You should then get an immediate response that says, "You are subscribed with St. Louise Parish School."

Thanks for getting this done right now, if you haven't already. We want to make sure every school family will receive emergency texts in the future! I have a feeling it's going to be a snowy winter 
and there will be plenty of times I'll be sending early-morning texts about late starts or canceled days.

I can tell you a million times over how much fun the auction is, but it's probably more credible to hear it from other people you know - with that in mind, I wanted to share a quote about the auction from fellow school parent, Marinell Zevenbergen:
 
"Auction night is the best! We always get a group of friends to sit together and we spend the evening laughing and talking, and supporting our kids' school. It's really important to us that we give our kids the education they need, and the auction provides the funds to help our school do this!"

Halloween Costume Guidelines
 
All students at St. Louise are allowed to come to school on Thursday, October 31, wearing a Halloween costume. When helping your child decide what his/her costume will be, please take into account these "Fun Dress Day" guidelines:
  • Costumes must be appropriate for an elementary school and more importantly, a Catholic elementary school; therefore, themes or dress that are disrespectful and/or too "adult" need to stay home. This includes, but is not limited to:
    • No dressing up as the opposite sex;
    • No costume with a crude sense of humor.
  • Violent themes are not allowed. This includes, but is not limited to, the banning of:
    • Bloody makeup;
    • Weapons (including fake ones);
    • Costumes depicting devils or vampires;
    • Costumes depicting violent characters such as Scream, Freddy Krueger, It/Pennywise, Dementor, etc.
  • Mr. Fitz and Mr. Fuerte have the final decision on which costumes are inappropriate. You may ask them, if you wonder if your child's costume will be considered appropriate or not. Or simpler yet - if you have to wonder...then the answer probably is you should choose another costume. ;-)
  • Thanks for keeping the "Happy" in "Happy Halloween!" by making this a fun day with no hassles.
 
SPECIAL TREAT - NO TRICK!
Mr. Fitz will be handing out GIANT-SIZE candy bars on Halloween ONLY to students wearing costumes of actual SAINTS! Perhaps you'll dress up as St. Gregory the Great...perhaps you'll be St. Therese the Little Flower...last we checked, there were a thousand Saints from which to choose. Find some ideas here and here. Let Mr. Fitz know on the 31st which of the Church's Saints you are dressed up as to receive your giant-size, chocolate treat from him!
 

Remember, October 31 is a HALF DAY with a NOON DISMISSAL.
All classes dismiss at 12:00, and there is no afterschool Kids' Club this day.

Immunization Policy Updated
            
          
Dear Parents,

The following information was supplied by the Seattle Archdiocese's Office for Catholic Schools. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
St. Louise School Nurse
 

*  *  *

September 27, 2019

There is a new Immunization Policy for the Catholic Schools of Seattle Archdiocese. Following is a summary to help clarify any concerns about the implementation of the Immunization Policy.
 
The Catholic Church is not opposed to immunizations, believing it has an obligation to protect and promote the welfare of all children and the common good against serious health threats. The 2017 Statement from the Pontifical Academy of Life, states there is "a moral obligation to guarantee the vaccination coverage necessary for the safety of others... we believe that all clinically recommended vaccines can be used with a clear conscience and that the use of such vaccines does not signify some sort of cooperation with voluntary abortion."  The Church is following its responsibility to provide for the common good of all with accurate information about the science of immunizations, our faith, beliefs and actions.
 
Based on this teaching, the Archdiocese of Seattle updated its policies. While Washington State allows exemptions for immunizations, the Archdiocese, following the Catholic Church's support of immunization for the good of all, will no longer accept religious, personal, or philosophical exemptions in our Catholic schools. Medical exemptions are still allowed with a Washington State form on file. The Archdiocese honors all five types of health care providers who can sign a medical exemption form - a qualified MD, ND, DO, ARNP, or PA licensed in Washington State.

The Archdiocese's policy is consistent with the teachings of the Church and supports the vaccinations required by the State of Washington for school attendance. While this updated immunization policy goes into effect January 1, 2020, students in Archdiocesan Catholic schools may remain in school for the 2019-20 academic year so families have time to make a decision that was best for them. Students in the Seattle Archdiocese must show evidence of vaccination by September, 2020.
 
Sincerely,
Teresa Fewel
Assistant Superintendent
Seattle Archdiocese Office for Catholic Schools

We Have a Dozen Expectations for Your Kids 
 
          Student Learning Expectations - SLEs - are expectations that our students should know, understand, value, and be able to do by the time they graduate from St. Louise School. These 12 SLEs comprise four categories important to the development of a well-rounded student: an active Christian; a life-long learner; a well-balanced individual; and a community member. Each month, one or two different SLEs are focused on school-wide until the 12 expectations are covered by the end of the school year.

        


         Mr. Fitzpatrick announces to all the students the "SLE(s) of the Month" on a Monday intercom announcement at the beginning of each month. The students and their teachers then discuss the meaning of the SLE and come up with examples of how this expectation could be practiced, observed, and realized. They work all month on improving their knowledge and understanding of this learning expectation, and some grade levels are even able to achieve it later that month or later in the year. Other grade levels will need more years of practice before they can confidently confirm they are able to satisfy this objective.
         At the end of the month, each homeroom informs Mr. Fitz what their class did that demonstrated the SLE(s) was accomplished, or is being initially worked on and hopefully will be achieved in the future. A few of these classrooms' reports to Mr. Fitz are announced over the intercom to the entire school and/or in this Family Bulletin to parents at each month's conclusion.
         September's Student Learning Expectation focused on throughout the school was "A St. Louise student is a well-balanced individual who sets goals and implements steps to achieve them."  Below are highlights from some of the classrooms on how they have been working on achieving this SLE.
 
  • The 6th graders have a goal for each student to read 700 pages of independent reading by the end of the trimester. To accomplish this, each student will plan to read one book every three weeks and submit to Mrs. Patterson a detailed book report on it
  • The 8th graders each have a service activity to create, plan, and run. Each student identifies a non-profit group to support, sets a goal of how he/she will help that non-profit (such as raising money for it), and then identifies the steps that must be taken to accomplish this goal. Mrs. Herridge holds mid-term check-ins to help the 8th graders re-evaluate and adjust if necessary.

 

 


Dr. Cruickshank's 5th graders did a "get to know you" activity which included each student writing 3 goals for the school year. You can see their goals on the hallway bulletin board.


 

 

  • In his junior high language arts classes, Mr. Gallant had the students set goals the first day of school by writing in their journals three different categories of goals:
    • Short Term Goal: This goal is one they believe they can achieve soon in Language Arts class; something that requires a little more focus and effort to come to fruition. This ranged from spell check to neatness in writing to sentence structure.
    • Long Term Goal: This goal is one they believe they can achieve in the next year in Language Arts class; something that with continuous repetition and effort can come to fruition over the long haul. This ranged from varying word choice in the revision/editing process to creating stronger conclusions to answering extended response questions on tests in a more detailed way.
    • High School Goal: This goal is one they believe they can achieve by the time they sit down in a Freshman English class in high school; something they want to know and do by the time 9th grade rolls around. This ranged from being more of a vocal participant in class to cooperating with peers on group assignments to crafting consistently strong essays.
To achieve all three goals, Mr. Gallant will have his 7th and 8th graders revisit their goals and their steps at the conclusion of each unit of study.

 

For the September SLE, students in Dr. Cole's 6th grade computer classes are writing about goals they have set for this school year. The students generated a word collage including terms describing their personalities, activities, and their goals for the new school year.  An example by Gunnar in 6B is attached.


 

  • Miss Helfen's 1st graders had a group conversation about what goals are and discussed that in order to achieve a goal, one had to take steps. For example, they talked about if you wanted to be a veterinarian, you would have to go to school and study.  This discussion led to the class coming up with a classroom goal. In 1A, Miss Helfen uses the classroom management tool, "Class Dojo," where the teacher gives students points for good behavior. The 1st graders decided as a class their goal was to earn 500 class points though Class Dojo, in order to receive a reward of free time. When asked by their teacher how could they earn 500 points in good behavior, the students answered with a list including, listening to the teacher, being respectful, using the correct volume level when talking, etc. Miss Helfen reports that her students have earned good behavior points every day and are on their way to reaching their goal.
  • Realizing two fundamental goals at St. Louise are to get our students into college and into Heaven, Mr. Evans began the new school year in P.E. classes with the 6th, 7th, and 8th graders establishing baseline fitness levels through fitness testing. He and the students began by discussing how one way we can gain citizenship into Heaven is by taking care of what God has created...our bodies! Next, they discussed what is expected of college level students and how a college mind collects and analyzes data, identifies trends, correlations, areas of strengths and areas of need. Students then began recording fitness standards according to age and sex for the PACER cardiovascular test, the right angle push up test, the abdominal strength and endurance test, and the sit and reach flexibility test. Once all the standards were recorded, students began collecting their personal data by completing all the fitness exams. A point of emphasis was the importance of valid and reliable data. When the students finished their fitness test and their data was recorded, the SLE for September came into play. Students were instructed to evaluate their test scores to identify their strengths as well as their areas of needs. Students then formulated fitness goals for this new school year based upon identifying their areas of need. In addition, steps to achieve their fitness goals were developed. Their goals and steps implemented to achieve their goals had to be measurable, so numbers were required.  For example, if a student wrote down a goal to "become more flexible and to stretch more," that student was asked by Mr. Evans to rethink/redo their goal and implementation, such as, "I want to add 8 cm. to my sit and reach flexibility test so I can reach the Presidential Standard.  In order to reach my goal, I plan on stretching for 20 minutes per day 5 days a week."
 

Mrs. Scruggs' and Mrs. Danforth's 4th graders have started off the year planning and setting goals. Each student wrote on a banner one goal on which they wish to work all year.  On the back of the banner, the student wrote two strategies he/she would implement to achieve this goal. 
 

Now that we're in October, schoolwide every grade PreK-8 homeroom will be focusing on new Student Learning Expectations. Our new SLEs of the Month for October are:
  • A St. Louise student is a life-long learner who exhibits enthusiasm for learning, including the ability to connect learning with life experiences. (SLE #2.3);
  • A St. Louise student is a community member who shows awareness of local, national, and international events. (SLE #4.2).
Parents, you can assist the teachers by not only discussing at home the meanings of these expectations, but sharing with your kids how as adults you demonstrate these expectations in your own (personal or work) life.


Thank you for patronizing the following businesses and thanking these families who, through their generous sponsorship, help underwrite the costs of St. Louise School's Auction, Walk-A-Thon, and other events...
