Gentle Reminders -
From time to time, everyone needs to make a change to student dismissal arrangements after the school day has begun. When this happens, please make every effort to notify the school office no later than noon or as soon as possible. When changes are not requested until close to the end of the school day, it becomes more likely that your request will not be received. This can cause confusion and frustration at the end of the day and can even result in your child(ren) following the wrong dismissal plan. We appreciate your cooperation and certainly understand that sometimes emergencies come up at the last minute.
Our Parent/Student Handbook states: "hair should be neat with bangs above the eyebrows. Boy’s hair should be above and not touch the shirt collar and trimmed around the ears." We are seeing quite a few young gentlemen with hair that is "stylishly long" in the front. Often, this is a distraction to them in the classroom and we are seeing a lot of "hair flipping" to clear their line of sight. Please get hair trimmed as needed so that your son(s) present a neat, trimmed appearance at school.
Looking ahead to Kindergarten 2013-2014 - If your child will be joining us for Kindergarten next year and he/she does not attend St. Mary's Prekindergarten, please complete an application for admission at your earliest convenience. Click here for our application form. If your child is currently enrolled in our Prekindergarten, it is not necessary to reapply for kindergarten since your child is already attending St. Mary's.Gentle Reminders -
