Happy Thursday!

What a great week! Our second graders started the week with a retreat on Sunday. We were able to celebrate Mass yesterday morning as a school and then follow that up with some fun House competition.

All current students in preschool-grade 7 were given their 2026-2027 registration packets today. Please look the information over, make corrections, and return to school along with the enrollment fee as soon as possible. If you have younger kids that you would like to register for preschool, please reach out, and we can send home a packet to you. Please remember that the scholarship renewals and the school registration packets are two separate things that both must be completed.

Hot lunch is available daily in our cafeteria. The lunch menu for next week is chicken sandwich on Monday, taco on Tuesday, French toast on Wednesday, hamburger on Thursday, and penne pasta on Friday. March lunch menu

NEWS WORTH REPEATING

All current kindergarten through seventh grade families received the scholarship forms for the 2026-2027 school year. Please return those as soon as possible, to allow time to get the renewal process completed. Please be sure to sign the forms, making any needed changes, and return with a current utility bill. The utility bill must show a service and mailing address. The utility bill can be sent back in the envelope or emailed to Mrs. T at tokarsky.joy@icssaints.org

We will be having an Open House for new preschoolers and their families on Wednesday, March 11, from 5:30 -7pm. If you have a little who is now eligible for preschool (must be 3 by August 24, 2026), or if you know of anyone interested in coming to ICS for preschool, please plan to join us on March 11. Miss Davis and Miss Sarah are excited to show off our preschool program.

On Wednesday, March 11, ICS will be hosting Read with a Grownup, Have a Donut. All students will report to homeroom at the usual time. Grownups should then plan to arrive at approximately 7:40 to pick up family members from classrooms. We will then all head over to the church for a short prayer service with Deacon Jim. Following the prayer service we will head back over to the school to read a book together and have a donut. All students brought home flyers today. Please return the bottom portion of the flyer (one per family) by tomorrow.
