THANK YOU
We have had an exceptional start to the new school year. Thank you for doing your part in making sure your child is here every day and ready to learn. We look forward to continuing our partnership with you in providing a quality Catholic education for your child.

El comienzo de este ano escolar estaba marviosa. Gracias para su interes en su nino o nina y su preparacion con sus ninos para este ano. Esperamos que continue durante todo el ano.

PEACEMAKER ACTIVITY
Ordinarily, our first peacemaker activity for the year is at the end of September. As a special incentive, students who are peacemakers during August (no Orange WIN slips!) will attend a Peacemaker Activity on Friday, August 29, at 2pm. Ice cream might be involved! Peacemakers may also be out of uniform that day. Please check the handbook for appropriate clothing on Non-uniform Days (p.23 of Parent/Guardian/Student Handbook).

En otros anos la actividad.de persona de la paz fue el termino de septiembre pero este ano es el Viernes, 29 de Agosto a las 14:00. Talvez hay helado. Estudientes de la paz no necesitan usar sus uniformes. De
fafvor, cheque el libro de reglas (p. 23) para ropa apropiada.

PICKING UP YOUR STUDENT
Morning drop off is going quite well, but there is still some confusion about afternoon pick up. If your student is in Kindergarten through fourth grade, you will pick them up at the front of the school. Students in grades 5-8 will meet their rides at the back of school unless they have family members in the younger grades; they then may go out front to meet their ride. When picking up at the front, you must pull into a parking slot. Do not have your child cross the road to come to your car. Also, if you go around the back, wait for your child to come to you and then continue to drive toward the graveyard and around the side of the cafeteria/chapel as you exit onto Church Lane. Do not go against traffic. Your child’s safety is our top priority. Thank you.

En la manana los padres que trajan sus nero para recojar sus ninos en la tarde usan estas direcciones:
Estudientes de Kinder hasta cuarto salen de puerta en fronte de la escuala. Estudientes de quinto hasta octavo salen de puerta atras la escuala si no tiene estudiantes en K-4. Cuando recojer estudientes en fronte de la escuela, necesita tomar una lugar marcado y espera sus favor, nota coche. Tambien si pasa atras, espera para su estudiente hasta llegue al coche y continua manajar in direccion del cemeterio y pasa la cafeteria cuando entra Church Lane.
