June Cougar Chronicle
Dear Parents and Families, 
WOW!!!! WE DID IT!! September 2020 seems so long ago!....and when we began school in September, June 2021 seemed like forever away! I want to thank my dedicated staff for their perseverance and commitment to the education of each child. Their resilience created a seamless learning environment for both in person learners as well as for our remote learners. 
Thank you, parents, for your unconditional support!! This year I gave you a plethora of new policies and procedures. You willingly embraced each one. Your diligence assisted us in ensuring that we had in person learning happen at Corpus Christi School!!

Pandemic aside, we had a GREAT year! Each of your children has brought such joy and happiness to Corpus Christi School. I am so fortunate to have such a wonderful group of children. They all have touched my life in very positive and rewarding ways.

As your child anticipates the long summer vacation, there are some very important ideas you can do to help them succeed. Engage in meaningful conversations with your child every day. Take time, if only a few minutes a day, to really listen to what they have to say. Read to and listen to your child read. Ask questions, make predictions, and make life to text connections as you read. Practice those addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division facts. Help your child develop a sense of working and solving problems independently. Talk about ways and start practicing getting and staying organized. Encourage your child to write often! Writing stories, letters, journal entries, etc. are great ways to get thoughts organized and put onto paper. These small details will lead to big successes next year.

Also, remember our commitment to God. Even though we are on vacation is essential to go to Mass each Sunday. In addition, begin and end each day with a prayer of gratitude; thank God for the good things that happen to you and to others. 

Again, thank you for a wonderful year. Have a fantastic and sunny summer. 
Enjoy . . . Peace,
Mrs. Ann T. Sarpu

Dear Parents/Guardians,
 
If your child has medications in the Nurse’s Office:                               
 
After Memorial Day it seems as if the rest of the year comes hurtling to a quick end and it’s suddenly summer. This is just a quick reminder that if your child has medications in the Nurse’s office you must make arrangements to pick them up ON or BEFORE the last day of school. I cannot keep medications in my office over the summer per State Statute and I will unfortunately have to discard any medications that are not picked up. I cannot send medications home in your child’s backpack; you will need an adult to come and sign them out.
 
Thank you and have a great summer!!
Mrs. Sue Cowan
