Dear Parents,

I recently completed a report that indicated all of the updates that have taken place in the two buildings in the last two years.  I was impressed with the scope of the projects that were accomplished.  The Site Advisory Committee has established a facilities committee that works with GRACE and the parish to identify priority items and how it will be accomplished and how it will be paid for.  Here is the list of projects that have been completed in 2023 and 2024.

The source of funding for these projects have been the parishes, the Site Advisory Committee, GRACE and a generous bequest to St. Matthew Parish to be used for the school.

Father Allouez Catholic School is so blessed to be a part of a strong school system, to have supportive parishes, a dynamic Site Advisory Council and individuals who support our school that are willing to invest time, talent and treasure.

Growing in Grace,

Kay Franz

The St. Matt's Kids Running program will be starting on Monday, April 29th! This program emphasizes fun and fitness and prepares students to run the Bellin 5K Race (the 5K was just added last year and is the same time/day as the longstanding Bellin 10K) which will be held on Saturday June 8th.  

This is a free program and all St. Matt's students K-4 are welcome, but students younger than 2nd grade need a parent/adult volunteer to run with them for safety purposes. We will be practicing twice a week after school at St. Matt's (we will run outside) starting on Monday, April 29th. Practice dates are as follows: April 29 ; May 2, 6, 9, 13, 16, 20, 22, 28 and 30 and June 4 and 6. These practices will take 30-60 minutes depending on the length of the run. Pickup times will be noted on the practice schedule that will be given out to those who sign up.  We are greatly in need of adult helpers! You don't need to run to help!  Help needed includes directing/cheering on students on the route and making sure they are safe, handing out water, and helping with snacks.  To sign your child up or if you have questions, please contact Carrie Miller at 920-309-2444 or carrielmiller99@gmail.com.

Save the Date: Spanish Placement Exam:

SAVE THE DATE! The Spanish placement exam can be taken by any incoming freshman that has already registered at Notre Dame Academy for the 2024-2025 school year to help determine whether the student should be placed in a Spanish I or Spanish II course. If you know that you would like your son/daughter to start in Spanish I, he/she should NOT take the placement exam. Incoming freshmen interested in enrolling in Spanish II must take the placement exam. The test will be offered on-site at NDA on Saturday, March 16, 2024 from 9:00 – 10:00 AM. If there is a conflict with this date, please note that the make-up test date will be Wednesday, May 1, 2024, from 3:30-4:30pm. Students MUST make one of these dates in order to enroll in Spanish 2.
