Please note, there were some minor updates to the one-page calendar published originally in January 2021. The date of graduation for the Class of 2022 moved one day, and the last day of school will now be a half-day. Please click here for the updated one-page calendar.

The school's Google calendar has been updated with many of the events and information for the school year. The Google Calendar can be found here and downloaded to your mobile devices. More information on our various calendar resources can be found here.

Your child(ren)’s Homeroom information is now available (today, Friday, August 6th) to families by logging into the FACTS Family Portal. You will be able to see your child(ren)’s homeroom information, and also do a search for the full homeroom and grade in FACTS.

If you have items to drop off for the Used Uniform Sale (happening on Tuesday, August 10th), they need to be dropped off the day before. Items will no longer be accepted on the day of or during the sale on August 10th. Drop off for items will take place on Monday, August 9th from 8AM to 10AM.

All new students and new families joining St. Cecilia Catholic School this year are invited to the school Gym for a welcome reception and brief presentation on Tuesday, August 10th at 9AM. Following the welcome reception, new students and families will be taken to their students’ classrooms for the “Sneak-A-Peek” to view their classrooms and meet their teachers.

Students in grades PK3 through 2nd and their families are invited to come to school and “Sneak-A-Peek” anytime between 9AM and 12PM. Your teacher will be eager to see you and welcome you to the new school year. Upon visiting the classroom you will drop off any materials or supplies you have purchased for the new school year and pick up anything your teacher would like you to take home before the first day of school. This is intended to be a short visit and parents are expected to stay with their children during the visit. Students are not expected to wear their school uniform.

After the New Family Welcome and Sneak-A-Peek all families are invited to go to the Auditorium to buy used uniform items for their students. The HSA (Home and School Association) will also be there selling new St. Cecilia Catholic School pencil and PE bags.

Please note as the school year is starting on a Wednesday, and Wednesdays are our weekly Spirit Days throughout the school year – the first day of school is a Spirit Day (which means that students can wear school spirit or standard uniform shirts with jeans - Spirit Items may be purchased online).

There is no morning carpool on the first day of school. We will have Classroom Drop Off for all students.

All parents are invited to the HSA Welcome Back To School Coffee in the Auditorium after doing Classroom Drop Off.

The first day of school is an Early Dismissal day. Also, there is no afternoon carpool, it is classroom pickup. Please note there is no after-school Bridges program until Friday, August 13th.

Our first Parent-Teacher conferences of the year are the Hopes & Fears Conferences. Parents will be given the opportunity to sign up for a specific 10-15 minute time slot. All parents are expected to have a Hopes and Fears Conference with each of their child(ren)’s homeroom teacher(s). Students do not need to be in the virtual Hopes and Fears Conference but are always welcome. The purpose of the Hopes & Fears Conference is for the parent(s) to share their hopes and their fears for their child specific to the upcoming school year. The teacher’s responsibility in these meetings is to listen, take notes, and learn as much as possible about each student. An email will be sent out when the class lists are updated in FACTS, so parents can log in to get their homeroom teacher information and then sign up for the Hopes & Fears Conferences time slots.

Regular morning and afternoon carpools will begin on the second day of school.

The second day of school is an Early Dismissal day. Regular afternoon carpool will begin on the second day of school. Please note there is no after-school Bridges program until Friday, August 13th.

Thursday is the second day of the Virtual Hopes & Fears Conferences. Please see the Day 1 information listed above for more details.

The third day of school is the first full day of school. Standard morning and afternoon carpools will both take place. Bridges also begins on this first full day of school.
