Dear Saint Ambrose Parents,
We thoroughly enjoyed "I Love to Read" month. From mystery readers to Drop Everything and Read time, we shared the joy of a good book. Thank you to all who donated popcorn.
As we look to next week, we are working to finish the 2nd trimester strong. The last day of the trimester is next Thursday, March 5. To celebrate, we will have a "Swarm Shirt Thursday" on that day.
Spirit wear orders will be open from the 1st to the 7th of each month, with delivery approximately two weeks after the window closes.The current order window will remain open until 3/7/26. Items will be delivered to the school 2-3 weeks after the store closes. You can place your orders here: https://saintambrose2026march.itemorder.com/shop/sale/
Before School Activities
To ensure a safe and organized start to the day, we will now have a staff member stationed at the main school entrance from 7:45–8:30 a.m. to supervise student drop-off and help direct students to their appropriate locations for before school activities. This added supervision will help ensure that all students arrive safely and transition smoothly to their activities. All students arriving before school for any activities should enter through the main school doors. This is a change from some previous procedures for certain activities, and we appreciate your attention to this update. Thank you for your partnership in helping us maintain a safe and orderly environment for all of our students. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.
Are you in need of child care April 7th, 8th and 9th? Please consider our Swarm Extended Day Care. Spots are filling quickly and will be limited. Fill out the form here!
Financial Aid
Financial Aid Applications are due March 16th. Our Financial Aid Committee will consider all applications and make recommendations to us regarding the distribution of our financial aid dollars. We will make every effort to work with families so Saint Ambrose School is open to all. However, our assistance funds are limited, and we may not have funds available for those who do not apply by the deadline. Applications can be submitted online at www.tads.com. When you apply, mark the “Aim Higher Scholarship” and the “CSAF Scholarship” as those are two opportunities for our school to receive funding to support families in need.
Recess Help
If you love the cold and enjoy children, we need recess help. Let us know if you are interested.
Bus Transportation
South Washington County Schools (SoWashCo) will use an opt-in transportation system for the 2026-27 school year to help ensure the most efficient routing for students eligible to ride a school bus. The form can be found here. Every family must complete the opt-in form by Friday, March 13, 2026.
Invite Us Deeper
Almighty and ever living God,
you invite us deeper into your world, your people, your Lent.
May this time be one of outward focus;
seeking you in those we often ignore.
Help us live a Lent focused on freedom, generosity, and encounter.
Give us hearts hungry to serve you
and those who need what we have to give.
Amen.
Betsy Hand
Principal
