Principal's Message
October is here!
It seems like the weeks are starting to zip by! The crisp Fall weather is upon us and the morning air can be chilly at drop-off. I know everyone is trying to hold on to those last few moments of summer weather.
Here are some important dates for you to remember:
*Claim the Name Seminar-Zoom 10/16 or in-person 10/28 (RSVP required.) Attendance will be taken for both.
*NO SCHOOL on Monday, Oct. 14. Enjoy the bonus day!
*Teachers will inform you of your child’s day to shop. This is a change from previous years, your child will only visit on one day of the fair at a specific time. If they do not have enough money on the assigned shopping day, they can return to purchase additional items the next day.
*Picture Day for PK-Grade 7 is on Wednesday, Oct. 16. Please bring the form or order online.
*PINK OUT on Friday October 18. $5 minimum donation for Breast Cancer
NJHS Breast Cancer Fundraiser*Parish Oktoberfest is Friday 10/18. Purchase your tickets via the link previously sent.

*Winter uniform begins on October 15. Da-Bar Shoes offers a discount on uniform shoes.*Please continue to supervise your children at dismissal. They should not be running behind the statue of Mary, climbing the gates, swinging on the church bars or touching the flowers by Padre Pio. We don’t want to see anyone get hurt.
*We are going to begin to limit the phone calls home for forgotten items. We will always call for glasses, instruments and lunches. We have a lot of foot traffic in the building which is a safety concern. Please work with your child to go over the items needed for school before you leave the house and triple check for devices!
*If your child will not be in school a particular day, please remember to call the main office to report the absence.
*Finally, we will be hosting 2 parent workshops one virtual (10/16) and one in-person (10/28.) You MUST RSVP for the in-person session. Attendance will be taken at both sessions. I strongly encourage parents of Grades 5-8 to attend either session, but it is appropriate for all grade levels. This FREE workshop called Claim the Name: Bullying or Bad Behavior will address many issues that occur in schools today. Use the flyer below to RSVP.

*Please DO NOT double park at drop off or dismissal. The weather is still nice and walking is a viable option. We will continue to monitor dismissal procedures, but your help and assistance is appreciated. The police department has been alerted to monitor, as well.
