Week of November 24, 2025

🧁Happy Birthday to our Sweet Friend!🧁

A Sneak Peek at our Upcoming Week:   We will be finishing Letter Hh, working on more Thanksgiving fun, finishing up our November themes as well as practicing for our CHRISTMAS SHOW and jump starting some Christmas Fun!  

IMPORTANT!!! PLEASE NOTE: November 24-25:  PRESCHOOL will be in full session even though K-8 will have Noon Dismissals for their conferences.  Our PreK Conferences will take place in January. If you are planning on taking your full day student home at noon, please let me know ahead of time.  I will need to have you sign your student out of school.  I will have a sign out sheet with me at carline if needed.  Also, for our regular noon dismissal families: PLEASE note that it will be a K-8 noon dismissal as well as noon Mass at Church so our parking lot will be much, much busier than usual.  Please be sure to pull all the way up to the stop sign  if you are the lead car in our carline.  Please do NOT leave big gaps in our carline.  Also please DO NOT BLOCK the entrance into the parking lot.  Once your child is fully buckled in and you are pulling away, please use your left or right turn signals to indicate to our security officer whether you are turning left out of our lot or if you are turning right into the big school car line to pick up your other children.  ALSO, PLEASE NEVER PASS THE CAR IN FRONT OF YOU ON OUR CARLINE.  If you are ready to pull away before the car in front of you, please just be patient and wait for everyone's safety.  Thank you for your anticipated cooperation and patience.
