Just a quick update regarding the After-School Care Enrichment (ACE) Program: We will be starting on Friday, September 4, 2020, 2:35-6:00 pm This year, ACE will be located in the Lower Level Rooms LL#411, LL#412 and LL#413.

Students who still have library books from last spring should bring them to school and put them in the book return bin located outside the Library Learning Commons (LLC) near the nurse’s office. Please put the books in the slot one at a time to avoid contact with the surface. The LLC will continue to check-out books this year. We will use safety procedures including hand sanitizing both before and after looking for books. Miss Beverage will come to the classrooms with bins of books from which students may choose. All returned books will be quarantined for three days before being checked out again. Students will also have access to ebook and eaudiobooks through the school and public libraries. That process will be rolled out in a few weeks after school begins. Any questions? Contact Miss Beverage via email at nbeverage@stpaulk-8.org.

The Parent Q&A Sessions were well attended last week. If you were unable to participate, the Zoom videos for both sessions are linked here: Grades K-4 session, Grades 5-8 session. For your convenience, we have also included the slideshow discussed in the videos.
