Dear Families,
Our sheep and shepherd theme reminds us that nurturing our children is a shared responsibility. As a school, we are grateful to partner with parents in guiding our students to grow in Catholic faith, academic excellence, and service to God and others. Through open communication, shared expectations, encouragement, and Christian example, home and school can work together toward the vision we hold for every child. Together, we are helping our students become all God is calling them to be.
Parents can support this journey by:
|
|
|
|
- Praying with and for your children and making faith a part of daily life.
- Attending Mass weekly as a family.
- Reinforcing school and classroom expectations and encouraging responsibility, kindness, and respect.
- Communicating openly and positively with teachers and the school.
- Encouraging a love of learning by supporting assignments, reading, and curiosity.
Modeling Christian values through your words, actions, and relationships.
- Celebrating growth and perseverance, reminding children that challenges are opportunities to learn and grow. Encourage them to embrace opportunities to serve others.

We are excited to celebrate our students who spent part of their summer growing as readers! A paper copy of our Favorite Summer Book Form will be sent home for students to complete by sharing the title of their favorite book read over the summer. All students who return the form will receive special recognition for their effort and dedication, and their names will be placed in a drawing, with four students selected to receive a special prize! Just as we are called to grow in faith, we are also called to grow in knowledge and wisdom. What a wonderful way to celebrate students who continued learning, exploring, and growing over the summer!
