A Note from your Principals


What a great school year we are having!



How can you help make it better?


Safety!


Please take care when driving around the school or in the school parking lot. There are a great number of vehicles coming in and out while students are milling about. Let's work together to create a safe place for our students both in and out of the school building.

Frequently Asked Questions


How does picture day work?

All students will be photographed for picture day. Even if not purchasing any photos, the form needs to be completed prior to picture day and presented at the time of photos. This will allow proper identification for student ID cards as well as yearbook photos.


If purchasing photos, money must accompany order forms on the day of pictures to avoid holding up the entire order.


We will start with the middle school and work our way to high school, pulling out of religion classes to ensure all students are photographed.


Dress Code - Pajamas? Shorts? Skirts?

We have had a few concerns about the dress code. We realize there is some confusion around this given that we are increasing our standards this year.


Pajama bottoms are not considered to be MICA. Shorts and skirts must be modest and adequately cover in all situations (i.e. walking up stairs and bending over).


Jeans, sweats and shorts are not appropriate for Mass Dress. Collared shirts and ties are required for high school and collared shirts are required for middle school.


Overall, we have seen an improvement in this area and appreciate everyone's efforts. Let's continue to work on this.


Missing clothing?

Like the island of misfit toys, we already have an island of unclaimed clothing. On Wednesday, September 6th, all unclaimed clothing will be available for review in the auditorium all day. Please have your student swing by and claim anything that is theirs. At the end of the day, all remaining clothing will be taken to Discovery Shop. Thanks for you help!
