Please send the children in with appropriate outerwear. It is getting chilly and the children are outside for recess.

We will again be participating in the Candy Buy Back program. Dr. Grazina, a local orthodontist, collects all leftover candy from Halloween and sends  it to our servicemen and local charities. 
For every pound of candy we collect, Dr. Grazina donates $1 up to $200 to our school. The children look forward to it every year. It is collected in the nurse's office. Send in your candy! 

Students in grades 1, 3, 5, and 7 are required to have a current physical on file. Physicals are good for 1 year only. Notices have been sent home if your child needs the required physical.

If your child plays a sport, they must have a current physical on file as well as a health history and an emergency sheet. They also must have cardiac clearance checked on their physical form. This is in keeping with the Dominic Murray act.

Vision and hearing screening will start soon.
All new students and students in grades K, 1, 3, 5, and 7 will have hearing and vision screening. If your child has any difficulty, I will be in touch.

You must be Virtus trained to volunteer in any capacity at our school.
In order to be approved to volunteer, you have to set up an account on virtus.org, register for the course and complete the background screening. You will get your certificate after you complete the course and pass the background screening.
You can take the course at any location but I will need a copy of your certificate if you take it somewhere else.
Online courses from other Dioceses are not acceptable.


If your child is in Grade 6 and has not turned 11, please remember they must have the Tdap vaccine when they turn 11.I advise making the appointment now as some of our parents have had a hard time getting appointments. If your student is not due for a physical, ask for an immunization only appointment. If there will be any delays, please send in a doctor's note.

All medication orders must be renewed annually.
If your child needs any type of medicine- over the counter or prescription, we need a note from the doctor and written permission from you. I cannot administer medication without it. Medication orders must be renewed annually.

Medication cannot be brought in by a child. It must be in its original container and brought in by an adult.

If your child is going to be out of school, please call the office in the morning and let us know. A note is required upon return to school.

We are a nut free school. This includes Nutella. We ask that you pack healthy lunches for your child- no candy or soda. Please be careful with granola bars- they frequently contain nuts.

Thank you for your cooperation!
