Dear St. Families,
The teachers have been busy training and prepping classroom spaces for the arrival of our students. The anticipation and excitement is real in our building! It is safe to say, we have missed our school families and students!
Orientations
As a reminder, next week is designed to be an orientation for students. Each day the assigned group will attend their classroom, meet their teacher, and just get used to being back in the classroom. The teachers have been planning fun activities to help ease some of the anxiety students may be feeling while allowing them the opportunity to ask questions about daily process, procedures, and schedules. Some key points:
- Students should wear their regular uniform
- Doors will open at 8:45am each day for morning drop off
- Dismissal will begin at 11:30am
- Parents should plan to follow the normal drop off and pick up procedures—please don’t forget to display your carpool number from the rearview mirror
- Middle School students should be dropped off at the circle main door but walk back towards the JP2 building for entrance
- Students in K-5 should pull forward toward the end of the sidewalk in order to enter the building at the 4/5 doorway or EDC doorway (K-3)
- Faculty will be outside to welcome and guide students with this new process.
Before your child can enter the building for Orientation, you must complete the PowerSchool update. Students will be turned away if the update is not submitted.
Please refer to Monday's email to complete the diocesan required database update in PowerSchool by Friday, August 28th. If you have trouble completing or submitting the forms, email Miss Lagos (klagos@stlouisschool.org) for assistance on Thursday or Friday. PowerSchool support will not be available over the weekend.
We look forward to seeing our students next week—please continue to pray for our teachers, medical health professionals, and school families as we all seek to find normalcy during this pandemic crisis.
God Bless,
Anne M. Dyke
Principal
