The first hot lunch is tomorrow. If you did not order a lunch for your child please be sure to send them with a bag lunch as there are no extras. Because hot lunch is now offered every Friday we strongly encourage families to order ahead as much as possible so you don't miss any deadlines!

As a reminder, hot lunch days are no longer spirit wear days so students should come in their school uniform or gym uniform if it is their designated PE day.

Volunteers are needed! We are looking for one volunteer to help each Friday. Volunteers can be parents or grandparents, but must be VIRTUS trained (see below for more information on VIRTUS). Please use this Sign Up Genius if you are able to lend a helping hand!

NEW! Pizza Tuesdays

We are excited to share that there will be one additional hot lunch per month. Pizza Tuesdays will take place on September 20, October 18, November 15, and December 13. All orders must be placed through Marla's Lunch so be sure to log in to your account to add these newly added hot lunch dates!

Come enjoy some family fun after the 5:00 Mass. We are pulling out all the stops for our last Band Together concert on Saturday, August 27th, at 6:30 pm at St. Luke. In addition to live music by Dave Hodge's The Basic Band and Jim & Claire Dooley, we will have inflatables for the kids and burgers and hot dogs compliments of the Men’s Club. Bring your own chairs, beverages and snacks. We will move to the gym in case of inclement weather. More information can be found here. If you have questions please email Sheila Price.

Students in grades K-8 will be taking the first i-Ready diagnostic test over the next two weeks beginning with Math. Please encourage your students to take this test serious and to try their best.

i-Ready is an online standardized testing program for reading and mathematics that helps your student’s teacher(s) determine your student’s needs, personalize their learning, and monitor progress throughout the school year. For more information, visit the i-Ready website.

There will be no school on Monday, September 5 in observance of the Labor Day holiday.

Starting in September, every 2nd and 4th Thursday of the month will be an Early Dismissal Schedule (1:45 pm) for Faculty/Staff Professional Development. Afternoon EDS will be offered on these days for those families who need it.

We hope all St. Luke families will join us for an evening of food, fun and lots of Bearcat school spirit to kick off the Fall 2022 athletic season! This year's event will take place Friday, Sept. 9 starting at 6:00pm at Keystone Park:



• Soccer games and Cross Country activities featuring our grades 4-8 teams
• Music, face painting and other fun surprises
• Pizza, beverages and treats for all

Everything's free to St. Luke families, so mark your calendar and let's go, Bearcats!

Note: The St. Luke Athletic Committee is looking for several parent volunteers to help with this year's event. Please contact Heather Giordano or Eric Wright for more information!  

Students in preschool through 7th grade will have their pictures taken on Tuesday, September 13th (8th grade picture day is in January). Students in these grades may come out of uniform for picture day. Ordering information will be sent home with students soon.

We need your fall sports pictures for the yearbook! Please email any photos that you think are worth sharing to Mrs. Janet Crosswhite, our yearbook coordinator.

Did you know that there is a special group just for St. Luke School on Facebook? The group is called 'St. Luke School Families' and is a way for families to connect by putting a face to a name, learning the ins and outs of our school, asking questions about any school related activities and sharing ideas/thoughts to help our children have a rewarding experience at St. Luke. We hope that all of our families will join this interactive forum.

St. Luke proudly partners with the music department at Walther Christian Academy to offer instrumental lessons for our students.
