Dear St. Louis Families,
It is January, and we are working on an attitude of gratitude. Students, teachers, and staff, are intentionally, purposefully, and authentically finding ways to express thanks towards one another, and we are cultivating a positive mindset in our classrooms. In essence, we are choosing joy! Pope Francis reminds us, “…the saints are joyful and full of good humor. Though completely realistic, they radiate a positive and hopeful spirit.” Did you know that there are 5 saints who will bring joy into your homes? St. John Bosco started a society of joy and displayed an attitude of joy throughout his life; St. Dominic Savio was a student of St. John and adopted his mindset; St. Thomas More had a joyful approach to life and wrote a prayer for good humor; St. Philip Neri is most known as the patron saint of joy; and St. Josemaria Escriva led a joyful life and taught others to share in his optimism. Let each of these saintly examples be the inspiration in your homes for joy!
Your re-registration materials for 2022-2023 went home today in the folders of our "youngest" or "only" students in Grades K-7. There is also a message from Fr. O’Hare regarding the tuition for 2022-2023---please make sure to read through all of the materials carefully. The re-registration form and non-refundable fee is due by February 1, 2022 in order to hold your priority spot. Know that we are extremely proud to be partnering with each of you in the education of your child, and we recognize that you have choices. We are deeply appreciative that you have chosen St. Louis School. As a parent myself of 4 children, I understand the many sacrifices you make to send your child here, and I am grateful for your commitment to St. Louis.
Mother nature may provide us with some more winter weather over the course of the long weekend—your children came home with materials just in case we need to make a shift. Enjoy your long weekend and know that each of your families are in my continued prayers!
God bless,
Anne Dyke
Principal

NEW!! Visitor Management System
St. Louis School has implemented a new visitor management system in the front office in our ongoing effort to maintain a healthy, safe and secure campus. Managed through SchoolPass, the system captures identifications of all visitors and volunteers, runs a DMV background check and captures health screening data for individuals. All school visitors and volunteers will be required to sign in through this system when they arrive. Parents are asked to bring a valid drivers license and allow a few additional minutes to check in when they arrive for a visit or to volunteer beyond the front office.
