Dear School Families,

In this week’s readings, I was drawn to the Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 91:1-2, 10-11, 12-13, 14-15), “Be with me, Lord, when I am in trouble.”  May the Lord be with us this week as we face any difficulties that may come our way.

Consistent attendance and punctuality are essential for your child's academic success. Excessive absences can lead to gaps in learning, making it difficult for students to keep up with their coursework. Additionally, arriving late to class can be disruptive, not only for your child but also for the entire class.

We kindly ask for your support in ensuring your child arrives at school on time and attends regularly. If your child must be absent due to illness or an emergency, please notify the school by calling the school absence line at (718) 356-4965. 

Thank you for your cooperation in fostering a productive learning environment for all students.

Pretzel orders are due March 10th. We are noticing that while several orders have been placed, in some cases the fee has not been submitted. Please keep in mind that your order is not complete until payment is received.

Fashion Show reservations are due March 12th. Journal and tshirt orders are still being accepted. Lotto scratch offs and Amazon gift cards for the Fashion Show are also being accepted. Kindly be sure that envelopes that are sent in clearly indicate the event name. Thank you for your support of this important fundraiser!

Families of current students should have received an email from FACTS that provided information on how to enter your child’s enrollment information for next year. Please be sure to complete the process by March 21st. Call the school office if you have any questions.

Gift card collection for Radio Bingo continues. Gift cards are due April 15th to qualify for the May 5th Radio Bingo dress down and pizza party contest. Please note a  gift card donation for Radio Bingo is the only way to participate in the May 5th Radio Bingo dress down. Donations will not be accepted for the May 5th dress down after the April 15th deadline. Please be sure to clearly mark the envelope indicating Radio Bingo. We appreciate you sending the Radio Bingo gift cards in early as Easter Break falls right before the event.

A list of upcoming events follows.

Have a blessed week!

Mrs. Olsen
