Principal's Letter

Principal Newsletter Jan. 9th

Happy Epiphany Week, Cardinals!

 

Click here for this week's Thankful Thursday, now Forgetful Friday! For some reason the system kept it queued instead of sending yesterday.

 

We are so grateful to be back on campus this week, and gearing up for our third quarter filled with basketball games, Operetta rehearsals, Catholic Schools Week, Kindergarten Round-Up, and Winter STAR testing!

 

Thank you for being patient and understanding this morning as we navigated the interesting situation with power being out on campus. Unfortunately this impacts our room temperatures, building access, technology, and more. Notification will be sent via email, Remind text message, and Facebook. To join Remind, text the message @stcc2425 to the number 81010. As for after school activities, there will be no clubs or Operetta rehearsal today. Coaches will notify families regarding basketball practices or games.

 

Wishing your family many blessings on the Feast of the Baptism of Our Lord! May this day remind us of the grace of our own baptism and inspire us to walk in the light of Christ with renewed faith and joy.

 

Gratefully,

Mrs. Stoffel

Hello Cardinals!

 

Click here to see this week's Thankful Thursday (ThT) newsletter. Also, please note there will be no late fees applied in August due to the delay in our upload as we continue to work with Blackbaud Tuition Management to update or correct any issues with tuition payment setup.

 

Please review the information and image below regarding our one way morning drop off lane. As always, student safety is our first priority. Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns.

  • Green arrow is where drop off or pick up parking is available. Students are only dropped off from this area in the morning.

  • Yellow arrow designates the one lane (one way) drive through area.

  • Red section is where parking is only for families with children at the child care center.

  • East of the 3rd crosswalk (to the right of the red section) along both sides of the street is also available parking for any families.

We appreciate your continued support and patience!
