Independence Day!

As tough as it can be at times, now is the time to allow your child to gain some independence by no longer walking them into the school building (Kindergarten on up)!  All car-riding children, with the exception of PreK, should be dropped-off in the car line.  If a child feels unsure of how to get to the cafeteria or their classroom, let them know that they should ask the teacher on duty.  There are students helping during morning traffic duty who can escort your child to where they need to go.

  Pre-K Parents 

For the safety of your child, it is imperative that you cross the parking lot at the crosswalk where the cones are set-up.  A teacher is on duty to direct the traffic to get you and your child safely across the parking lot.  Try to park as close to the crosswalk as possible and walk over to the crosswalk and wait for the teacher to wave you across.  You can then walk through the courtyard and take a left into the building.  Turn right and that hallway will take you to the PreK rooms.      

Need to Go to the Office?

If you need to see someone in the office before 7:55 a.m., please first drop-off your child through the car line (Kindergarten on up) and afterwards park your car in a parking spot close to the Main Office entrance.  Be careful as you cross!  Be sure to have dropped-off your child first!  No parent should cross the parking lot in this area with a child!

I started my last newsletter by stating, “Our God is an awesome God,” in reference to the eclipse last month.  As I sat to write today, the same refrain played out in my mind, but for a different reason.  Almost two weeks ago, we witnessed the terrible destruction wrought by Hurricane Harvey, and many in Florida and Puerto Rico are now preparing for the potential destruction by Hurricane Irma.  And for the past two weeks we have witnessed the awesome works of God through the responses to those in need. Heroic efforts by folks on the ground saved countless lives. Coordinated responses have brought food, clothing, and toiletries to those who have lost everything. And even here, at our little school, we raised over $2,600.00 for Sacred Heart School in Rockport, TX so they can begin to replace all that was lost when the Hurricane made landfall.  Thank you for teaching your children the importance of being the face of God to those in need. Small acts, when done in love, lead to awesome works.
