From Our Principal
Dear Parents,
It has been such an inspiring beginning to the school year. In spite of masks and physical distancing, our students seem excited to be back at school, engaged with instruction, and welcoming of friends new and old. Our students remind me every day of why St. Benedict Catholic School exists. We are here to serve our community, to form and educate students, to bring families together, but most of all, to give glory to God. I'm so grateful to our faculty and staff, our parents, and our students for working hard to make the start to this (strange) school year such a success. We look forward to seeing all of our families virtually at Back to School Night this Wednesday. Details for our Virtual Back to School Night can be found below.

Mask Reminders...Keep up the GREAT WORK!
As we've completed the first week of school, we've noticed a few things about masks. Please be sure masks fit properly and the child is able to easily take their own mask on and off. If they are disposable, don't forget to use new ones regularly and if they are washable, be sure to keep them clean :) Here's a great video to check out called "How to Wear A Mask in School"

Car line Reminder
Please be considerate of our neighbors while you are in the car line. If a neighbor needs to get out, try to make room or wait to proceed forward until they can pull out of their garage or parking spot. Thank you!

Birthdays and Food Items
This year, if you would like to send in a special food item for your child's class for their birthday, it MUST be commercially packaged and individually wrapped. Unfortunately at this time, we cannot accept boxes of donuts or homemade food items at the school (even if they are individually wrapped by the parent). Thanks for your help in keeping our school healthy!
Virtual Back to School Night is THIS WEDNESDAY

Important Reminders
From Our Nurse
It has been a great beginning to this year, and I appreciate all the cooperation from all the parents. Just a few reminders...please make sure that your child has extra masks either in your car, but preferably in their backpack. Noticing the bandanas and the gator masks aren't working as well as the fitted ones. If you have any concerns or medical issues needing addressed please contact me at dlawrence@saintbenedictschool.org I am here Monday-Wednesday from 7:45-3:00pm and Mrs. Dart is here on Thursday and Friday at the same times. I am looking forward to a healthy and safe year and once again thank you for your warm welcome. Enclosed is information regarding a scoliosis screening which is recommended for 5th-8th graders. If you have any questions about this please email or call.
