EAGLE NEWS... CHECK IT OUT!
Arrival and Dismissal
Morning arrival hours have been extended. Gates open at 7:40. Students must be in class by 7:55. That is an additional 5 minutes for middle school students to go to their lockers and be in their seats for class.
We are encouraging everyone to utilize the carline, instead of parking and walking the students in to class.
Pre-K and Kindergarten will use the carline on FLOWER STREET.
Students in grades 1-8 will enter and exit using the large gate on 10th AVE for both arrival and dismissal.
Morning Care will now be held in the Media Center from 7:00-7:30. Students who arrive at 7:30 or after will need to use the carline. Morning Care students must sign and enter in the gate by the front office (not the doors facing the church). Morning Care will be at no charge in August, but will be $3.00 a day starting in September. There will be no food allowed, as we will be in the media center.
Morning Prayer at the Flagpole
Teachers will be leading guided prayer each morning in their classrooms. However, parents will be invited to a special morning prayer and pledge on certain Fridays each month. During this time each class will be assigned a day to present information and prayers about “Virtues in Practice” and their patron saint. Parents will receive advance information and invitations to these special school community prayer days. Please join us for our school Masses beginning September 6th.
FORMED: Full Access to Formed.org!
"Formed" is an online treasury of resources to help you grow in your faith. The parish has purchased a subscription to give all our parishioners and guests full access. To register, go to www.formed.org, enter the parish code 78JZ68, and create your own login information to access all it has to offer and spread the word with fellow parishioners and any guests that come with you to the parish.
Alternate Dismissal: Alternate dismissal will be the process in which students are released on early release days, inclement weather, and/or special circumstances. Parents will enter campus through the front gate and will retrieve their students from their classrooms at the designated dismissal time.
Mass: Mass will be held on Wednesday of each week, beginning the second week of school.
Carpool: We are in need of families that are willing to carpool in the case that one of our families has an emergency or an illness that limits their ability to drive. Please contact the school’s office if this is something you would be willing to do.

Lunch Program vs. Aftercare: Thank you to everyone who participates in these programs. We wanted to make sure everyone was aware of the difference between the two in terms of billing/payments. Lunches are a PRE-PAID program where you put funds into your account in FACTS. These amounts will be deducted on a weekly basis to cover the previous weeks charges. The after-care program will be BILLED to you on a monthly basis.
