FROM THE PRINCIPAL'S DESK

Advent. The season of waiting for the arrival of our Lord and Savior has arrived. Throughout this month, we will have many opportunities to celebrate the Advent season together. I hope you are able to add a few of these special events to your calendar to join in the celebration and community as we await the arrival of our Lord!

Inclement Weather

It is also the time of year, when we must refresh on our Winter Weather Policy. In the event of inclement weather, St. Veronica School will follow West Clermont District's directives. These announcements will be published through OptionC emails, text messages, and phone calls. West Clermont will also announce closings on local television channels. St. Veronica School also reserves the right to delay or close school in special circumstances.

Preschool and New Student Surveys

The school office has been hard at work, preparing for the 2023-2024 Registration and Admissions season. In an effort to begin preparing for student enrollment, we ask families share their intentions for their Preschool, PreK, and Kindergarten students by clicking here. https://forms.gle/T6N16CM69yNP148dA

We also ask families who plan to enroll a new student in grades 1-8, to share their intentions here. https://forms.gle/nF8T3tWLk7dqXGkZ7

NOTE FROM NURSE'S OFFICE REGARDING COUGH DROPS AT SCHOOL

Students are not allowed to carry cough drops during school hours due to medication content. If you would like to have cough drops available for your student during school hours, please send the cough drops in the original bag or a baggy with student name(s) and a note signed by a parent, stating how often they are allowed to come to the Nurse's Office and request a cough drop. The student is to be instructed to bring the cough drops to the Nurse's Office on their way to class in the morning. Thank you for your help in keeping our students healthy and safe!

MESSAGE FROM PTO REGARDING HOLIDAY COLLECTION
