Good Afternoon Everyone!
I hope you all enjoyed your long weekend. Despite it being a shortened week, we are very busy with some wonderful events ahead. Please review the following information below:
1) This Friday is our Thanksgiving Play & Celebration, please read the
section below at the end of this message for some very important housekeeping items.
2) Pizza money is due Thursday. Homework is due Friday
(please note in an effort to conserve some paper it is 2-sided this week)
3) Class pictures & individual retakes are this Friday. All students
MUST be in their winter uniform.
4) Christmas Breakfast Permission slips went home last week. These
are due back no later than this Friday, 11/17.
5) Next week Monday & Tuesday are half days with a noon dismissal
due to big school conferences. There is aftercare available those two
days from 12-6. Kindergarten conferences will be held in January.
Wednesday of next week is a noon dismissal with NO aftercare due to
Thanksgiving break.
6) SAVE THE DATE- Our annual Christmas Music Concert is coming
up next month. As mentioned in Mr. Dunnigan’s blog on Friday, it will
be broken into two dates this year to accommodate all the families in
the gym.
Grades K-3 will perform on Tuesday, December 12th at 1:00 pm
in the gym. More info to come as we get closer as well.
7) Also mentioned on Mr. Dunnigan’s blog- on Friday, December 8th
the entire school will have a half day with a noon dismissal and
there is NO aftercare available due to the
Faculty, Staff & Clergy Christmas Celebration.
8) SAVE THE DATE (AGAIN!)- On Thursday, December 7th our
class will be having one of our LARGEST and most MAGICAL days
ever- which is a TOP SECRET SURPRISE to our students. Please keep
an eye out as I will be sending an email to everyone by the end of this
week with information about this special day. 🙂
Thanksgiving Performance & Celebration Info:
-If you have signed up to bring in any food donations for our
celebration, please send them to school by Thursday afternoon.
Thank you so much!
-Families who are coming to watch the play & join us for the
celebration may come directly to our building, we will have a sign in
sheet downstairs for you.
-We will open the door downstairs for families to come in
no earlier than 12:50/55 pm,
as students will still be getting ready in our classroom and space is VERY limited.
-Please try to park in the learning center parking lot only or
closer to the church, so as not to block the big school car rider line.
-Older STS Siblings will be called down from the main office &
escorted over to our building at 1:00 pm. They will watch the
performance and then be escorted back to their classrooms after.
- If you are signing out your K student at the conclusion of our event
(at dismissal time) and would ALSO like to sign out your older STS
student, please send a note alerting their teachers & the main office
that you plan to do so. Ms. Hopkins will escort them back to our
building before dismissal begins at 2:25 pm. This is especially
important if your child is typically a bus rider, as teachers need to
know first thing in the morning how they will go home in the afternoon. 🙂
Important Dates Ahead:
-Friday 11/17- Class Picture Day & Retakes (winter uniform)
-Friday 11/17 @ 1:00 pm- Kindergarten Presents “The First Thanksgiving”
