O come, let us sing to the Lord.
Let us make a joyful noise to the rock of
our salvation!
Let us come into his presence with
thanksgiving;
Let us make a joyful noise to him with
songs of praise!
O come, let us sing to the Lord.
Psalm 95
From the desk of Donna Kruszona, Principal:
It was so nice to have a three-day weekend at the end of our first week of school. But now it is time to get down to the routine of classes and homework.
This Thursday, September 4th, we have scheduled BACK-TO-SCHOOL NIGHT. This meeting is for parents only and is a once-a-year opportunity to hear about all that is happening in our parish and your student’s school. I look forward to seeing you in the Parish Hall at 6:00 p.m.
New Year but same issues with uniforms: Let us begin with the following rules. The full list of uniform regulations is in your Calendar/Handbook (close to the back page) that came home in this envelope last week. Note specifically only white socks are allowed; boy’s belts match their pants/shorts. Hair length for boys in not below their eyebrows and cannot touch their collar or cover their ears. Girls need to not to have hair in their eyes and their hair must be their natural color. Any further concerns or questions please call or email me. One last concern, we realize that many of you wish your children to have cell phones in the event of an emergency. They may have them in their backpacks or lockers. However, they are not to have them on their person. If cell phones are used before 3:00, they will be taken and the parents will need to pick them up from me in my office. If a student must call a parent, they may use the office phone. This is a policy used throughout the Diocese.
Please remind your students that if they are missing their lunch, they are to come to the front office to see if it has been dropped off for them. We do not want classes interrupted by parents dropping off lunches or forgotten work. Thank you for reminding them of this procedure.
One more form to be filled out is in this envelope. Please complete the “One Call” form and return it by this Monday, September 8th along with all other emergency forms.
IT IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT ALL EMERGENCY/PERMISSION FORMS THAT HAVE BEEN SENT HOME ARE COMPLETED AND TURNED INTO THE OFFICE NO LATER THAN THIS MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 8TH.

The office staff is still in need of someone to relieve them every other Tuesday. Thank you to Mrs. Melton who is willing to alternate Tuesdays with another parent. You are needed from noon until 1:00 to answer phones and help give some TLC to ill or injured students. This is a great way to earn your volunteer hours. Please call the office if you are interested.
This Friday, September 5th, there is noon dismissal. There will be day care. The faculty will be taking part in an Arts Attack In-Service.
The Eighth Grade will assist in the Liturgy this week. We invite you to join the parish and the academy students at our 8:00 Friday Mass each week. Installation of the Student Council Officers will immediately follow Mass.
“Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.”
