Notes from Mrs. Pudelko     

 

Thank you to all of our families for your continued support as we implement new safety protocols and procedures.  The first two days of school have gone smoothly and our students are excited to be here!  A couple of notes/reminders:

  • Dismissal - We were 5 minutes faster with dismissal on day 2 than we were on day 1.  We are confident that the system we have in place is the safest for students.  We are asking parents NOT to line up before 3:00 pm to avoid the traffic back up on Richmond.  We will NOT be releasing car rider students until 3:09 pm daily.  The option to park and walk up under the awning with your number remains an option.   Our team continues to evaluate our process in order to make it more efficient.  Your patience is appreciated
  • CANVAS - Students are actively using Canvas in their classrooms.  Parents will need to create an account and "pair" a student account after they receive their pairing code in an email from each homeroom teacher.  Please watch this short introductory video and look for an email from each teacher with your student specific code.  Each parent will need his/her own code so if a second account is created, please email your child's teacher for a second code.  Parents can create their Canvas account  at dioceseofgrandrapids.instructure.com/login/canvas to observe their students' accounts.  More details can be found here. 

        
                               
  • AUGUST HOT LUNCH MENU:                                                      August Hot Lunch Menu                                                            Please Note:  Hot Lunch pizza is not Little Caeasar's nor ordered from an outside vendor.  It is prepared by our Hot Lunch staff.                                                                                                             
  • SCHOOL PICTURES:                                                               'No contact' school pictures for Grades PS4 through Grade 8 will be on Wednesday, September 2nd.  Students in Grades PS3 and Virtual will be on Thursday, September 3rd.                                                                                                                              Students (K-8) received their picture forms today.  Students in Perschool and DK will receive their picture forms next week.  You may order online (no return envelope needed) or pay with exact cash/check on picture day (using envelope provided).  Please be sure to indicate your picture package on the envelope if paying by cash/check.                                                                                                                                                                        Students may dress up for picture day - NO JEANS!
