Catholic Schools Week!

Dear Families,

Starting Sunday, Catholic Schools all over the country will be celebrating the 49th anniversary of Catholic Schools Week. The theme of our celebration is “Catholic Schools: Faith. Excellence. Service.” The theme encompasses the core tenets and values that can be found in Catholic schools across the country. Not only are we teaching students to become future servant leaders, faith-filled disciples and enriched citizens in our communities, we are growing with them. In Catholic schools, we are all learners, servants and leaders. These shared qualities are what make Catholic schools work. They are what make our students succeed. The theme also focuses on key elements of Catholic education: faith development, academic excellence and dedication to service. These elements set St. Mary’s apart from other educational options. That is why you make sacrifices to provide your children with a Catholic education. For that, we couldn't be more grateful.

Our Open House is on Sunday from 8:30am-11:30am. Please plan on stopping by to visit your child’s classroom. The Boy Scouts will be serving a pancake breakfast in the cafeteria from 8:00am-11:00am. Come join us! We will be giving tours to prospective families. Please encourage any family who is interested in coming to St. Mary’s to attend. You are our best marketing tool – help us spread the word! 

Also, see this flyer to find out about all the great things that are happening next week, including dress down and dress up days! 

Finally, remember that there is no school next Friday, February 3rd.

Blessings,

Mrs. Mary Tretow

School Office Notes

Attendance

Please remember, if your child is sick or will miss any part of the school day for any reason, you - the parent/guardian - must notify the School Office.

It is not sufficient to have your child mention it to the teacher or to only notify the teacher. To have your child marked as having an excused absence, a parent/guardian must notify the school office by 8:00am the day of the absence.

Please refer to the Parent/Student Handbook for more information. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
