Dear Parents and Guardians,

Happy Fall! It seems that our autumnal weather has arrived, and we are enjoying the crisp weather. Many thanks to Fr. Tom, Glinka Brothers Lawn & Landscape, the PreK and Kindergarten class parents and teachers for a wonderful pumpkin patch activity for our youngest learners.

The end of the first marking period will be Friday, November 6. Report cards will be ready for viewing on November 17. Your child’s teacher will be reaching out to schedule a parent-teacher conference. As always, they are optional. Parents may opt for a phone conference, in-person, or virtually. If you prefer an in-person conference, we ask that you schedule that during one of the early dismissal days or after school hours.

Thank you in advance to all of the grade level parents for their work in organizing the Halloween parties for individual classes. We look forward to seeing you at the parade on Friday. It will begin at 10:30am and last approximately 30 minutes. Dismissal will follow at 11:30. Please note that we are unable to accommodate individual requests for early dismissal following classroom Halloween parties. All students will follow the scheduled 11:30 AM dismissal, and we appreciate your cooperation in helping us maintain an orderly and safe dismissal process.

Our HSA Basket Raffle Committee is busily preparing for our event that will take place on Friday evening, November 20. Ticket sales have begun. If you are planning to attend, don’t wait to get your tickets. This event is a sell out each year. We are still accepting donations for what I am sure will be a very successful event. Check the school website for more information.

Please remember that winter uniforms are required from November 1 through Easter, and formal uniforms on Mass days. That means that gym shorts, khaki shorts, and khaki skirts and skorts are no longer permitted to be worn. If you aren’t sure, please refer to the uniform code on the school’s website.

We are already pushing into November, and Thanksgiving, Advent, and Christmas will be upon us before we know it. There are many events planned that you may want to mark on your calendar.

• November 12 & 13 - Early dismissal parent-teacher conferences
• November 20 - Early dismissal HSA Basket Raffle event
• November 25 - Early dismissal Thanksgiving (NO AFTERCARE)
• November 26 & 27 - No school Thanksgiving
• December 4 - Early dismissal - Faculty Meeting

Please label all of your child’s outerwear, sweaters, sweatshirts, and other belongings with an indelible marker. The number of items located in the lost and found continues to grow. Please have your child check for missing items.

Wishing you a blessed day!
Mrs. Theresa Craig, M.Ed.
Principal
