The alert will be sent to all phones and email. You should receive a phone call (voicemail if unanswered), text message to cell phones and an email.

You can pro-actively check Directory Spot now to make sure your phone numbers and emails are accurate.

Thank you for working with us to ensure all of our contact data is accurate.
October is Respect Life Month
Special attention is given to promoting the culture of life.

This year, we are focusing on St. Joseph, defender of life. His unleashing adherence to God’s will as he faithfully and lovingly protected the Christ Child and the Blessed Mother bear witness to our own call as Christians.

As a school family, we are asking EVERYONE to participate in a variety of spiritual opportunities this month to celebrate Respect Life Month which will BUILD UP & UNITE our school community.

There are over 50 products and many are less than $15.

These make great gifts and a percentage of every purchase goes right back to our school. The exciting part is that you can select any piece of artwork from home! You can use art from e-learning, choose a piece from earlier in the year, or create something new. Just click on the link below, search for your child’s name, and upload the piece of artwork you selected. You can upload additional pieces and save them in a digital family gallery. Have fun creating and shopping! https://arttoremember.com/school/ZDBLM6
