Dear Cardinal Pacelli Families,
Curriculum Night
We look forward to welcoming all of our families to Curriculum Night tomorrow, Thursday, August 27, from 6:00–7:30 p.m.
Please meet in the gym at 6:00 p.m. for a brief welcome before visiting your child’s classroom and learning more about the exciting year ahead. To give parents the opportunity to attend presentations from multiple teachers, the evening will be divided into three 20-minute sessions:
● 6:20–6:40 p.m. — Session 1
● 6:45–7:05 p.m. — Session 2
● 7:10–7:30 p.m. — Session 3
Parents may choose which teachers’ presentations they would like to attend during each session. We hope to see everyone tomorrow evening!
Birthday and Treat Policy
As we celebrate our students’ birthdays at school, we are making a small change to our birthday treat policy. To help us better protect students with food allergies and dietary restrictions, all birthday treats must now be prepackaged and individually wrapped, with a complete ingredient label from the manufacturer clearly visible on each package.
Please note that treats or donuts placed in individual Ziploc bags are not permitted, as they do not provide the necessary manufacturer ingredient information.
This change allows our teachers and staff to quickly review ingredients and determine whether a treat is safe for each student. Some ideas include: Drizzilicious, Rice Krispie Treats, Little Bites muffins, Oreo snack packs, Welch’s Fruit Snacks, Goldfish crackers, Mini Chips Ahoy, and Annie’s Bunny Grahams.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we work to make our school celebrations safe and enjoyable for everyone.
Ed Choice
A student is legally classified as a "habitual truant" if they miss a specific number of hours without a legitimate excuse. Please bring in a doctor’s note if they visit the doctor. Vacations are not excused absences.
● 30 consecutive hours (roughly 5 consecutive school days)
● 42 hours in one school month (roughly 7 school days)
● 72 hours in one school year (roughly 12 school days)
When these hours are crossed, Ohio law requires schools to form an Absence Intervention Team and potentially file a complaint in juvenile court, which can disqualify a student from maintaining their EdChoice voucher.
Best,
Jen Martin
