The Central Catholic Saints

Yes you read that right, we have entered the month of May! We still have a lot of learning to get in before the end of the school year. Students finished up ILEARN this week. They have done a very nice job of persevering through out these three weeks. ILEARN test results will be ready about mid way through July.

We have one more round of testing and we will be done for the school year. Students will taking the IReady diagnostic one more time this year to see their growth for the year. Please speak to your student about the taking these assessments. It is important that they not just rush through to get finished.

On Monday May 6th, students will be allowed to be out of uniform.

They may wear red, green or white with out of uniform bottoms. Bottoms can be jeans, athletic pants, shorts - as long as they follow our out of uniform guidelines.

We will be hosting a Cinco De Mayo celebration after school from 5-8pm. This is for Central Catholic School families only. Parents we ask that your student stays with you during the celebration. The playground and field will be closed during the celebration.

Several classes have field trips scheduled in the month of May. Please make sure that your student has brought back their signed permission slip for the field trip, along with money that may be due for the field trip. If your student does not bring back their permission slip, they will not be able to attend the field trip.

Teachers will communicate if students will be out of uniform for the field trip. If you have questions, please reach out to your students teacher or the office.

We have begun processing Choice Scholarships - Thank you to those families that have brought in their taxes. Some of you should have been able to sign your paperwork at Student Led Conferences.

If you have filed your taxes please bring a copy into the school office so we may begin processing your scholarship for next school year. We would like to get most of your paperwork processed before the end of the school year.

If you have questions please see Mrs. Caldera.

Our next food pantry day will be Tuesday May 14!

1. We are not allowed to have cupcakes, cakes, or candy as a birthday treats. Central Catholic School is a universal free and reduced lunch school we have state guidelines we must follow.

Students my bring a small individual healthy snack - pretzels, fruit snacks, granola bars, etc. - for their classmates. (No drinks)

If cupcakes, cakes or candy is brought as a treat, they will be sent back home. I appreciate your support in following our handbook.
