Dear Parents

Did you know that a portion of last year’s Gala helped us purchase hands-on science materials, experiments, and dissection kits, and update our science closet for all grade levels to utilize? Our science lab houses many materials—microscopes, scales, synthetic frogs, infrared thermometer guns, laser and optic kits, prisms, pumping heart models, eye models, human skeleton models— to not just meet but exceed the Diocesan Science Standards.

Dear Parents,

I know many of you have been eagerly awaiting more information about the ESA program, especially with the new legislation that passed this summer and signed into law. As shared at Curriculum Night, we were advised to sit tight and wait to see what happens after September 24th as the opposition to this new legislation has until then to gather enough signatures to halt the new legislation and place it on an upcoming ballot. If enough signatures are obtained, there will most likely be legal maneuvering to determine how a referendum will appear on a particular ballot (either this November or in 2024).

Dear Parents,

I’m sure you have noticed Mr. Macdonald holding a sign in the parking lot that says "DO NOT BACK INTO PARKING SPACE." We would kindly appreciate everyone following the parking lot rules to ensure the safety of our community and facilitate traffic flow. Thank you for using patience and care as you navigate through the parking lot each day. Please pull forward into the parking space—do not back in. If you are in a hurry to get to and from school, consider utilizing our efficient valet carpool service.
