A Letter from Mrs. Mares
Monthly COVID Update
With October quickly coming to a close, you can anticipate our monthly COVID site plan to be released tomorrow morning, Thursday, October 28th. Moving forward site plans will be reviewed and updated effective at the beginning of the next calendar month. Once communicated to families, this will also be updated on our website.

Thank you for your diligence in communicating student illness and exposures as we navigate each unique situation. While there was high COVID activity in our school in the month of October, we feel fortunate that the majority of our students have been healthy and learning in person and continue to hold in our prayers families who are experiencing members with significant illness.


Playground After School
We are again seeing equipment left out and students unmonitored on the playground after school. We recognize this is a great time for families to casually connect and enjoy the fall weather while it sticks around yet we need your help to keep this an option.
Children on the playground MUST be supervised by an adult.  
The playground is not an option for arriving late to pick up. School supervision is not provided.
Playground equipment must be put away when you are finished
All garbage should be placed in the garbage container on the playground or taken home with you.
Please help us help you to be able to continue to enjoy this space after school. If improvements are not made we will be shutting down the playground availability after school to those not enrolled in the aftercare program. Our staff does not have the capacity for this daily clean-up when responsibility is not taken by those playing after school.


All Saints Day Mass
Our 2nd graders will lead our traditional All Saints Day Mass on Monday, November 1st. Second graders will process in to the Litany of the Saints, dressed as Saints they have spent the last month studying. This mass will be held in the school gym to accommodate additional guests. We request that guests refrain from arriving until 8:05am. All guests should enter through the Superior Street entrance. 

Last day to wear shorts
End of shorts season is Oct. 31st. When students return on November 1st, no shorts will be allowed. Please refer to the Dress Code/Uniform Policy for more information.
