Monday News

February 27, 2023

Monday, March 6, will be a special day at All Saints Catholic School. It will be our first ever “Moving Up Day” for grades Pre-K through Grade 7. This is a day that has been set aside for each class to visit the rising grade level. What that means is that for one day, preschoolers will become kindergartners, kindergartners will become first graders, first graders will become second graders, and so on.

The teachers have planned many activities and academics for the day. It will be an exciting day to get a sneak peek of what is ahead for next year! ( All students may wear their gym uniforms and sneakers).

The IOWA Tests of Basic Skills and/or COGATS (Cognitive Abilities Tests) will be administered to all students in grades 1-7 at All Saints Catholic School beginning Tuesday, March 7.  The testing window closes on Friday, March 17.

Grade 1 will take the COGATS. Grades 2, 3, 4, 6, and 7 will take the IOWAS. Grade 5 will take the IOWAS and COGATS. The areas tested for the most part are reading, writing, and math. Please be sure your child is well-rested, eats a good breakfast, and is on time for school every day. Testing begins at 8:05 am.

Every family is a valued member of our school community. Tuition assistance is available through both the Bishop’s Scholarship Fund and All Saints Catholic School grants for those families who apply and demonstrate need. The Bishop’s Scholarship Fund application process opened on February 1.  Please check the school website for details. Deadline to apply with all required documentation is March 15.  Apply early!

In the event school is canceled, All Saints will have a Google Classroom Day for all grades. Teachers will post assignments on Google Classroom by 8am which are due by 11:59pm. There will be no Zooming. Assignments will be graded and are not optional. The students may complete their assignments at their leisure during the day. Stay safe and stay warm. 

There will be an early dismissal on March 16 for Teacher In-Service. Please be on time for pick up. Reminder: There is no extended day program that day.

Be well, be warm, stay safe, and God bless!
