Welcome to Catholic Schools' Week.  We have lots of fun activities planned for the week!
 ______________________ 
 International Night will be on Tuesday, February 11. Our class has been studying England.  We are in need of parents to provide food for our booth, as well as to work at the booth on that evening. Holly Pellicano has already begun contacting parents.  Thank you so much to those who have already signed up.  Thank you also to those who have donated money to purchase food.  Please email me if you are able to help.
____________________________________________
  Please be mindful that homework help ends at 3:30.  If you are not able to pick up your child at 3:30, he/she needs to go to extended care.  For their safety, they cannot wait around the school grounds unattended.  There have been several times when students are not picked up on time.  Even being 10 minutes late makes a big difference if the teacher is leaving to go to an appointment.  Because this has sometimes become a problem, I have had to cancel homework help a few times to make sure that I can make my after school appointments.  The teachers having homework help depend on all children being picked up on time.  Please be advised that any students not picked up on time will be sent to extended care and a fee will be charged.  Thank you for your understanding with this matter.
