A throwback to one of our epic Halloween parades in 2017

We will have a Halloween Parade around the track this year weather permitting. We will begin lining up at 10:00AM. 

When you arrive, please pull into your grade-level lane as you do for dismissal.

The students will walk once around the track and then return to the building for their parties.  

We need all parents to return to their cars at this time and wait for dismissal to begin.

In case of inclement weather, the parade will be held in the gym. When you arrive, please pull into your grade-level lane as you do for dismissal. 

Entrance for all parents will be through the rear gym door. Please be sure you have your ID with you.

The students will walk once around the gym and then return to the classrooms for their parties.  

We need all parents to exit through the rear gym door, return to their cars, and wait for dismissal to begin.

The Safe Environment training provided by the Diocese of Bridgeport will continue in all of our schools using the Think First & Stay Safe. The training will take place in our school during the month of November. Safe Environment training teaches students important safety skills to help children recognize and safely respond to early warning signs of unsafe situations in their environment. The Think First program is delivered by a trained counselor from Catholic Charities in age-appropriate groups as we have done with great success for the last 9 years.

In the Diocese of Bridgeport we recognize parents as the primary educators of their children. It is important to know that classroom sessions are intended to assist you as parents by reinforcing and strengthening the safety information that you are teaching your child at home. Prior to the program, we ask that you review the safety information from your parent guide with your child. If you are new to the school year the parent guide will be sent home. Personal safety training for children is most effective when it is taught and reinforced over time and your participation in this effort is critical.

If for any reason you DO NOT wish for your child to participate in Safe Environment training during the 2022-2023 school year we must receive the opt-out form here signed by you no later than Nov 1. If we do not receive this form by this date your child will be permitted to attend.

Support the 8th Grade by participating in Dress Down Days throughout the school year! Just $18 per child in advance for 10 days (or $2 per child at the door each day). Click below for dates and to take advantage of the discount by pre-paying. The first Dress Down Day is November 16. 

Our dad's group will have its first meeting tonight! 

The purpose of the group is to have relaxed discussions over drinks using a book that we all read as a point of departure. (Note: Non-drinkers are also welcome!) We’ll get to know one another better and have some great discussions about God and how we can grow closer to him.

The first meeting will be on Thursday, Oct 27 from 7-8pm in the faculty lounge on the second floor. Fr. Perrella will give out copies of the book the group will be reading and introduce everyone to the format of the group.

After the intro meeting, Books and Beer will meet every 3rd Thursday evening of the month from 7-8pm at All Saints Catholic School in the faculty lounge on the second floor. Come and join us for brotherhood and some good discussion.

If you would like to join, please email Fr. Perrella so he can keep you updated about the group. His email address is [email protected].
