WEEKLY EBLAST - 3/31/2023
Hello Eagle Families! 

Please review the communication that was sent out about our testing schedule for the next two weeks.   

Also, review the communication below about our traffic flow changes due to the street construction.  Due to these changes, please allow yourself additional time for drop off and pickup.

Please continue to use patience, kindness, and flexibility as we navigate through these changes to our routines.

Have a great weekend, Principal Schneider
The city of Phoenix will begin a major sewer project on 48th Street on Monday, April 3. The project impacts 48th Street in both directions from Frye Road to the area in front of St. John Bosco Catholic School. We expect the project to not be completed until close to the end of the school year.
Due to the project, we have made changes to our Traffic Flow Plan. Please take time to review the maps. 


Beginning Monday, April 3 and until further notice:
  • Avoid using 48th Street.
  • Do not use the St. Benedict's Parking Lot (north of campus) for pickup, drop-off, or parking.
  • Plan on coming early in the morning for drop off and on time in the afternoon for pick-up (NOT EARLY.)
  • All Secondary students will be picked up at Mountain Park Church.
  • Obey traffic laws as well as police officers and staff directing traffic.
  • Be a respectful, patient, and cautious driver.

We appreciate your cooperation.

FOOD DELIVERIES REMINDER:

Please review this excerpt from our handbook regarding food deliveries:

“You cannot receive delivered food or drinks from anyone other than your parents/guardian or a designated emergency contact person. Any food delivered to the school needs to occur during the lunch period and be pre-arranged between the student and parent or emergency contact person. Classes will not be interrupted for lunch deliveries. The school offices are not responsible for storing and delivering lunches.”

Just a reminder that food/drinks can only be provided by a parent or person on a student’s contact list. We are not able to facilitate food delivery services as they do not fall under the accepted parameters. Thank you for your support.
