Dear Parents,
Thank you for a wonderful school year! It has gone by so quickly. It seems like we just started! The kids have grown so much in the past nine months. They walk with confidence and can almost run the entire school this time of year. We love to watch the kids becoming so independent and confident.
We want to congratulate our graduates and wish them a beautiful and bright future as they move on to High School. They will always be a part of our story and loved by us. Congratulations Graduates and your families! Join us for our graduation Mass on Thursday, May 25 at 6:30pm in church with a reception to follow.
Report cards and IOWA tests are coming home on the last day of school so please look for them. Join us on the last day of school, Friday, May 26, for Preschool Promotion (K3/K4) at 8:30am, K5-8 awards ceremony at 10am in church with an all-school Mass to follow at 11am. There is an early dismissal on the last day of school. Help us wish our students and staff a wonderful and safe summer!
For students who are returning in the Fall, new school year information packets will be available later this summer. You will receive an email from the school office when they are available for pick-up. We will also have supply lists and other information posted on our school website soon.
New for next year is our Mass dress code. We are changing our Mass attire to make it easier for you and the kids. We will no longer require “St. Matthew” logo shirts. Instead, students can wear a plain, collared, NAVY blue polo shirt. Khaki dress pants or skirts will remain the same. Logo wear is getting very expensive and we would like to make our dress code more affordable for you. Hopefully this is a better option for all families. It seems many schools have gone this route and parents prefer the options. If you already have logo wear, your child can continue to wear it to Mass and on field trips.
We will again be in the 4th of July parade. Please watch for an email this summer if you want to participate. It is a lot of fun!
Tuition prices for the upcoming school year will be the same as this year. We try to keep it as affordable as possible. If you need any assistance, please contact me. We have Angels who generously help us every year. Paperwork can be found here on our website.
Thank you again for a wonderful school year! Wishing you a restful summer and many blessings!
From all of us at St. Matthew School.
