Principal Notes

Dear Families,

We are very excited to welcome you to our Back to School event today! The teachers have been busy getting their classrooms ready as we await the arrival of our students. There is great anticipation in the air. I’m sure you feel it at your house too. 

Don’t forget to stop in the Maker Space or cafeteria today, so your child can have their school photo taken. If this doesn’t work for you, don’t worry, we have a make up day on October 5th.
Pictures can be taken from 1:00-7:00 today. Teachers will be in their classrooms from 3:00-7:00.

Next Tuesday will be our first all school Mass with grades 1-8. We would love for you to join us. The students will be sitting in the middle two sections. We take up all the pews from the front to the back of the church. If you are able to join us we ask that you sit in the pews on the side of the church. At this time we would ask that the children remain with their class.

See you soon!

Mrs. Mary Tretow
Principal
