Please respect the homeowners who are unable to get their cars out of the driveways because parents are blocking them. -Any messages pertaining to your child must be called in to the school office in the morning such as absence, homework pickup, etc. When your child is ill and requires homework and books, you can only request a pickup from a student in your child’s class or from the office. Homework and books cannot be sent to a different classroom. Students are encouraged to get the phone number of a classmate who would be willing to bring them home for them. -If your child receives a new vaccine, please have your doctor write the name and date on his letterhead. This should be given to Sister Maureen, our school nurse. CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WEEK JANUARY 25th to JANUARY 30th The theme this year is Catholic Schools Celebrate Service.
