What a wonderful first week of school! It has been such a joy to see our hallways filled with smiles, laughter, and the excitement of a new school year. Our students have been busy getting to know one another, spending time together in their classrooms and on the playground, and enjoying a special first-day treat of Sno-Kones!
Throughout the week, we have been learning our PBIS expectations, practicing routines, and working together to create a school environment where everyone feels welcomed, supported, and ready to learn. We were also blessed to celebrate our first school Mass with Fr. Tony and begin our year together in prayer.
We were thrilled to welcome our School Resource Officer, Derek Kunkel, who spent time visiting classrooms and joining our students for games during recess and PE. Seeing our students build connections with the adults who are part of our school community is such a wonderful way to begin the year.
As we look ahead, I am grateful for the opportunity to continue building strong relationships throughout our pastorate, with our families, and among our staff. By working together, we can help each of our students grow academically, deepen their faith, discover their gifts, and become confident leaders who make a difference in our community.
Thank you for entrusting your children to us. We are blessed to have them as part of our school family, and I look forward to all that this year will bring. Together, let’s help our students learn, grow, and let their light shine!
Back‑to‑School Paperwork Check
As we settle into the new school year, please make sure all required forms have been turned in. This includes Free & Reduced Lunch applications, any diet‑modification forms, updated vaccination records, and your family’s tuition contract. Having these completed helps us keep everything running smoothly and ensures we have the most accurate information for your student.
Thank you for taking care of these important steps.
Just when we thought our halls couldn’t get any brighter after an amazing first week — BOOM, preschool arrives! We’re thrilled to welcome our youngest learners into the building and can’t wait to see their smiles next week.
