Camp forms and payment are due Sept. 20.  Once all See's Candy money is turned in and calculated, we will let you know, how much will be deducted from each student's camp fee.  If they will need to take ANY medication while at camp, they will need to have the physicians form signed.  Please do not wait until the last minute to do this.  This can sometimes take time to get all medical forms filled out and signed. 

___________________________________________________________

Blessing of the Animals:  On October 4, our school will celebrate the Feast of St. Francis with a Mass and Blessing of the Animals.  The 6th grade is planning this Mass.  We will be making a poster to be carried up at Mass.  Please send in any pet photos that you would like included by Friday, Sept. 20.

___________________________________________________________

The schedule will be different this week due to ITBS.

 

We will test in the mornings, and have 3 classes following testing each day.  Since I will not be assigning homework during this week of testing.....I will NOT be having homework help.  The productivity of homework help has improved. Thank you for stressing to your children the importance of using their time wisely.  Please remember to be mindful of picking up your children on time.  Homework help ends at 3:30.  After that, students will be sent to extended care, and a fee will be charged.  There are still some students who are not getting picked up on time.  This makes it very difficult for teachers to schedule appointments.  Thank you for your help and understanding with this matter.
