Weekly School Update 3/20/2025

Happy Thursday!  

On Monday, we finished up our Right to Read Week activities with the annual trivia contest based on the book that all of the students read (Wish).  All of the contestants did a great job.  Congratulations to sixth graders Sadielinn and Miles who finished in first place.  Congratulations also to our coloring contest winners--Myla and Chase.

Our Spring MAP testing begins on Monday, March 31.  Please be sure that your child gets a good night's sleep before their tests and eats a good breakfast.

When we return from spring break, it will be the last day of March, which means that Warm Weather Dress Code begins on Tuesday, April 1.  Here are the guidelines taken right from the handbook.  Please pay careful attention to the rules regarding shorts--the shorts should be close to knee length.  With how tall some of our students have become since October, please check this out before sending your child to school.  If shorts are too short, they will be sent to the Uniform Closet to change, and often that may mean putting on long pants, as we don't always have every size of shorts.

Warm Weather Dress Code   This is from the first day of school to October 31 and April 1 to the end of the school year.

• Shorts –Khaki or navy blue; hemmed, pockets, worn at the waist with a belt or elastic waist; no shorter than 2 inches above the knee; no side “cargo-type” pockets

• Shirts -  same as regular uniform

• Capris –Khaki or navy blue; hemmed, pockets, worn at the waist with a belt or elastic waist; no side pockets or tie strings

• Socks – quarter anklet socks may be worn

Hot lunch is available daily in our cafeteria.  The lunch menu for after spring break is popcorn chicken on Monday, walking taco on Tuesday, waffles on Wednesday, mini corn dogs on Thursday, and macaroni and cheese on Friday.   April lunch menu

NEWS WORTH REPEATING

Our classes are already starting to fill up.  In particular, our preschool is filling up rather quickly.  If you are someone who is considering sending your child here for preschool next year (this includes current preschool families), you will need to get in the registration and the fee as soon as possible.  We have a maximum capacity of 24 students at any time in the preschool room, and we already have some days that are already filled.  

Please go over your registration packet and return the completed forms, along with the registration fee of $160 per k-8 student  ($100 per preschooler).  This allows us to start to plan for the 2025-2026 school year.  We are asking that you return the forms and the registration fee by April 11, which will also give you a chance to win a $500 OptionC voucher for the 2025-2026 school year.  Remember, your registration fee guarantees you a spot in the classroom.  

Scholarship materials for 2025-2026 were sent home a few weeks ago.  Please go over the forms and make any corrections, sign, and return, along with your proof of residence.  If you have any questions about this, please reach out to me.

This year's Reverse Raffle is Saturday, April 26.   Please purchase your tickets for the raffle and dinner, and plan to join the Saint Family for an evening of fun, fellowship, and great food (catered by Bubbarock).  We are also looking for volunteers; please contact me if you are willing to help out that evening.

It seems that warm weather is upon us.  Keep in mind that shorts season is NOT here yet, which also means no capris yet for the girls.  Also, keep an eye on the day's forecast, as we do our best to go outside for recess which is at 11 am.  That means that it may not be quite as warm as it is predicted yet when we are outside, so a jacket is usually necessary!

Yearbooks from the 2023-2024 school year are still available.  Please contact the school office if you would like to purchase one.

Breakfast is available daily for all of our students from 7:00-7:30 am for $1 which includes milk.

Please be sure to go into Option C to check your balance and do your best to keep the total below $50 at all times.  You are welcome to send a check or cash to the school in an envelope labeled with your child's name and Option C.
