Please note there has been a change to the school calendar. Hispanic Heritage Mass has been moved to next week, Friday September 18th. This Friday, we will be commemorating the 25th anniversary of September 11th and honoring those that lost their lives in that tragedy.

On September 23rd and 24th, we will be taking yearbook pictures. All students must be in full winter uniform for yearbook pictures. Please ensure you have all the uniform pieces by that time.

Uniform non-compliance will be noted in FACTS beginning today. Please ensure all students have the proper uniform each day.

While young ladies are still restricted from carrying around purses, as has always been policy, due to the new uniform lacking pockets, young ladies may carry a small wristlet or clutch (4x6 or smaller) to hold sanitary products.

Please contact the office with any questions.

Chess Wizards is a premier chess education company providing fun, informative and challenging chess lessons to students in PreK-8th grade. Our program is made for children at every step of their chess journey - no matter the skill level - with classes that build upon each other, starting with the basics and moving toward more advanced lessons as your child progresses from one session to the next. Chess Wizards teaches children how to problem solve, think critically, win graciously, and accept defeat with dignity and sportsmanship. Students will be divided into groups according to their chess experience. At the end of this session, each student would have had the chance to participate in a mini-chess tournament.
