Happy Monday, everyone! We are very excited to be in our second full week of school. Things are going smoothly, and students are adjusting well to their schedules. This week, Kindergarten through 5th grade students will be taking MAPS tests.

Turn your Back-to-School paperwork into the office as soon as possible, including a signed tuition agreement, media release form, & emergency contact card.

Kindergarten and preschool parents need to submit to the office updated immunization records.

The count down has begun for Big Give Gage County; save the date for September 14, 2023. Please help us raise funds to install new classroom doors to increase school safety. Donate before the event by dropping off a check at the school or rectory.
