Welcome to 8A!

Welcome to a new school year!


I am excited to get to know you and your children.

Thank you to all of the families who were able to complete the paperwork sent home yesterday. If you still have paperwork at home, please complete and send it in with your child as soon as possible.


The 8th Grade Friday Afternoon Email Blasts are coming! Mrs. Dale and I will initiate the email blasts once we have all of the 8th grade parent email contact information. We are hoping to start on Friday, September 8th.


Important Events:


Our Back to School Mass will be held on Friday, September 1st at 8:15 a.m. Parents are warmly invited to come and celebrate the Eucharist with us.


Back to School night is on Thursday, September 7th at 7:00 p.m. in the Church. We will have two parent sessions after the general meeting to meet and speak with you.


Students should be receiving their Chromebooks in the next few days so they should bring their protective cover to school with them starting on Thursday. Please help your child to remember to charge their device each night. Chromebooks are to be left in the homeroom classroom during recess and lunch unless directed by a teacher.


We have noon dismissal on Friday, September 1st, and there is no school on Monday, September 4th.

I hope you enjoy the holiday weekend!
