Monday, Monday...

Hi devout readers!

Today was a great day in the classroom. The kiddos are becoming accustomed to our policies and procedures and are adapting beautifully to having a new teacher. Today they came home with both their agendas and homework packets. Please turn in the reading log and spelling sheet on Friday. Math will be turned in daily for correction and revision.

Agendas are to be returned to school every day. It is important for students to learn how to write their homework down in a planner since they do not receive homework packets in 3rd grade. Again, please remind your child to put his or her agenda in his/her backpack for school every evening and place the backpack by the exit door so that the morning rush becomes a bit less stressful.

Please arrive to Back to School Night at 6:20 PM for a brief meeting and introduction led by Mrs. Cristina Cullen, Religious Ed director. She will be giving you important information regarding the Sacraments, dates of workshops, etc. We will be starting promptly at 6:20.

Tomorrow is our first school mass. Dress Uniform is optional, but encouraged. Please have your child to school by 7:45 at the latest. Students are to leave their backpacks downstairs. We will be lining up to enter the church. Fr. Ken Deasy, along with Msgr Richard will be celebrating mass with Fr. Ken taking up a special collection for the Holy Childhood Association. Any donations will be greatly appreciated! Please pack donations in a baggie and send it to school with your child (with a gentle reminder to give to their teacher right when they get to school).

Thanks again for your cooperation and I look forward to seeing you all on Wednesday!
