Parent Connection

On Friday, October 15th we will celebrate Holy Mass with Bishop Michael Fisher here at DeSales at 9:40am in honor of the DeSales Distinguished Alumni Hall of Fame. Those interested in attending Holy Mass should enter the building at the Gym Entrance. Per NYS regulations, all in attendance must wear masks.

Students should wear regular uniform on this day. No sports team uniforms/shirts please.

DeSales will be conducting an annual exercise of its emergency early dismissal plan.

The exercise will be conducted on Friday, October 15, 2021.

All students in Mrs. Mazurek's PK4, Mrs. Pike's PK3/4 and students in K-8 will be released 15 minutes earlier than their regularly scheduled dismissal time on this day. If your child rides the bus they may or may not arrive home 15 minutes earlier. Parents who pick up should plan on arriving 15 minutes early.

*Mrs. Chase's PK students will dismiss at their normal time.*

Please call us with any questions (716)433-6422.

Lifetouch will be at DeSales on Monday, November 15th for Picture Retakes. If you wish to have your child's photo retaken, please return their picture package on that day.

Get your trunk decorations ready! We are sending a flyer home with students this week. Please register as soon as possible so that we may plan a fun event for all!

Also, any alums or parents of alums who are interested in volunteering, we can always use your help as many of our current volunteers also have young children who need supervision for the Trunk or Treat.

The next HSA meeting will be held in the DeSales Cafeteria on Tuesday, October 19th at 6:30pm. All parents and caregivers are encouraged and invited to attend. Just for attending your student will earn a free dress down day and an entry to win a prize!

Summer Uniform

Summer uniforms (shorts) may be worn until otherwise noted. We have some warmer weather coming and want to ensure our students are comfortable in shorts if needed.

Uniform Exchange

If you are in need of dress pants, please make sure you check our uniform exchange before you buy new pants for your child! We have an abundance of dress pants in our uniform exchange in ALL sizes! You can come visit the uniform exchange before or after school on any day that school is in session. If you have difficulty getting here during those times, you can email Mrs. Diane Surdel in our main office with what items you need, including sizes, and someone at the school can send items home with your child.

If you need to reach the School Nurse, Renee Nye, please call (716)434-4680.

All parents who wish to volunteer with children have to take the Protecting God’s children workshop, have a background check, and keep up on online training materials – just like all employees must do.

On October 15th, the Diocese will be suspending all accounts who have not kept up on the monthly bulletins. Anyone with a suspended account won’t be able to volunteer or work with children.

Please make sure you log in to your account and catch up on any unread monthly bulletins and annual re-certifications that have been assigned to you.

If you have any questions, please contact Annette Wojcinski in the Business office if you have any questions.
