School Calendar Update - School will be open for a full day on Monday, April 1, 2013 to make up a snow day. Please make note of this important calendar change.
School Mass Schedule - Please mark your calendars with the following dates for school Masses. All Masses are at 9am in the Church unless otherwise noted. Everyone is always welcome to join us in worship. Please remember that no physical education uniforms should be worn to Mass.

Wednesday, February 13 at 12:15 - Join us on Ash Wednesday as Lent begins at the Parish Mass
Friday, March 1
Friday, April 5
Friday, May 3
Friday, June 7 - Join us at Mass at 10am as we celebrate the accomplishments of the Class of 2013 and bless them on their way!
Student Directory Update - Please update your Student Directories with a new email for the Becconsall family. Their new email is becc1@att.net.
iPad Reminder - Several student iPads have now suffered cracked screens due to transportation in backpacks. It is our strong recommendation that students carry their iPads to and from home in their hands rather than in a backpack. We realize these means extra care needs to be taken getting on and off the bus, etc.. The location and type of crack suggest that the damage is occurring when backpacks are shrugged off onto the floor and impact occurs.
Report Cards will be distributed on Friday,
1-25-12.
A new Hot Lunch Volunteer schedule for February - May 3rd has been posted to the Hot Lunch page of the school website. Click here.
A new Library Volunteer schedule for the remainder of the school year has been posted to the Downloads page of the school website. Click here.
Parent Meeting regarding Internet
Safety - We have arranged for Officer Dunne from the Simsbury Police Department to join us on Monday, February 4, 2013 at 7pm in the Parish Center to discuss internet safety. Due to the importance of this topic and its direct impact on our
children, we are asking that you consider attendance at this meeting a mandatory
commitment for at least one parent/guardian from each family. Middle school
students are encouraged to attend as well.

March Parent/Teacher Conferences - Sign up for these conferences will be available at the Internet Safety Meeting. March Parent/Teacher Conferences are scheduled for Monday, 3/18, Tuesday, 3/19, Thursday, 3/21 and Friday, 3/22. School is closed on Wednesday, 1/20 for the annual Diocesan Faculty Retreat. School will be dismissed at 12:45 on each of these days and there will be no Prekindergarten Enrichment or Aftercare. Unlike the Fall Parent/Teacher conferences, these conferences are not required for all students. Conference times will be assigned to those families that signup for a conference slot. If you do not sign up for a conference, none will be assigned to you. If you do not sign up and your child's teacher feels a conference is necessary, he/she will contact you to arrange a conference day and time.
Due to the snow day on 1-16-13 and the cancellation due to the extremely cold temperatures on 1-23-13, Ski & Snowboard Club will be extended two more weeks and will meet on 2-6-13 and 2-13-13.
