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

 

Dear parents,

It’s hard to believe it’s been 22 years since we lost so many lives on September 11, 2001 when planes were hijacked crashing into both World Trade Center buildings, the pentagon, and a field in Pennsylvania.  While our students were not born at the time of this attack, we paused for a moment of silence before our morning prayer to remember those that lost their lives, the first responders, the heroes of flight 93, the military, all the pilots, our country, and those that had their lives forever changed by the events on this day.  May God protect all people from attacks of terrorism, violence and hatred!

School Needs

• Extended day is looking to hire a few people to supervise students after school until 4:00 pm or 5:00 pm. If you know anyone interested, contact Benita Wheeler 

Safety 

• Dismissal - do not leave until the parking lot attendant tells you to move.

• Morning Drop off - If you drop off at the back in the mornings, please park in a yellow parking spot. Then walk your child to the sidewalk. Please do not pull up to the sidewalk, to drop off in the back. 

• Dismissal - Please make sure you turn your engines off once you park in your parking spot and keep your engine off until we begin dismissing.  This prevents accidentally shifting the vehicle in gear. We close the parking lot at 2:54pm everyday, except on Wednesdays it closes at 2:24pm.

Information you may need at some point this school year

• On spirit wear and jeans days, students can wear uniform bottoms or jeans - no jean shorts. They do not need to wear a belt with jeans and spirit wear does not need to be tucked in.

• Late line - once you get to the school, you can park and walk in to get your child/children - you do not need to stay in line by the curb.

• Morning care opens at 6:45am.  It’s $1 per child per day. Please pay the day you attend.

• If your child is absent from school, call the office or email us at  

• To email the office please use rather than emailing Lori Koontz, Kim Baldini, or Anna Fon.

• Don’t forget to log your family service hours. https://stmalachy.org/service-hours/

• During COVID we allowed donated items to count toward service hours. 23-24 school year will be the last school year that donated items will count toward family service hours. $10 spent equals one service hour.

• If you utilize Extended Day or are in the late line,  you will come in to let the office know you are here and then check them out. 

Good Luck to all student athletes - Go Shamrocks!
