Spring Picture Day
Wednesday, February 27th is spring picture day. Dress in your Sunday best if having pictures taken. Those not having photos taken must wear school dress uniforms as this is a mass day.
Re-Registration Information
Many thanks to those who have already sent in their registrations for the next school year. Please continue to send them in so that your child is assured a place for the 2019-2020 school year.
Box Tops

Lost and Found
The lost and found bin is overflowing with shirts, jackets, lunchboxes and other items. Students should check the bin in the parish center before or after school to locate lost items. Unclaimed items that have been in the bin for more than a month eventually will be donated.

TERRANOVA TESTING – Important!
TERRANOVA tests begin on Monday, February 25th for students in second through eighth grade. Please note the following points which will ensure a smooth testing process:
- Students should come to school rested and on time; eating a healthy breakfast also is important.
- Please read all notes from your individual classroom/homeroom teachers about the assessments.
