Let all you do be done in Love…through C.L.O.V.E.R.

 

Dear parents,

We have a Pep Rally Tuesday, December 19 at 2:20pm; Parents are welcome. For the Pep Rally students can wear jeans and spirit wear along with Christmas-like accessories such as a Santa hat or reindeer antlers; however, no light up items during the school day. If a student has a hat or rudolph antlers that light up, they can only have the lights on during the Pep Rally.  

The lost and found tables will be outside at dismissal on Tuesday and Wednesday. Wednesday we dismiss at 1pm and Extended Day is available. 

I have attached our cell phone policy for those that may receive a cell phone for Christmas this year. There are many parent control apps and I would recommend one that has controls and monitors across many different platforms.  St. Malachy uses Bark which monitors Google platforms to alert us of anxiety, body image/eating-related items, bullying, drugs, hate, profanity, predatory behavior, self-harm, violence, etc.  Remember that parental control on devices is important as kids learn self-control and still need protection from the slippery slope of social media, communication, and the internet.

 The second annual Shamrock Spectacular: A Night with the Stars is Saturday, February 3, 2024 at 6pm in the school. This is a free fundraising and social event for our school.  To register to attend please use the appropriate link below.  If you are unable to attend and would still like to financially support St. Malachy Catholic School, use the appropriate link below.
