Please Help Ensure Safety at Dismissal Time
Students need to be dismissed at 3:00 pm or within two minutes of the dismissal bell. I have asked all teachers to follow this rule closely. Late dismissals are causing safety problems in the parking lot with some drivers wanting to leave and others having to wait. Please do not leave the soccer or Church/School parking lots until all children are safely in their car. If you choose to park in one of the lots, please know that you will have about a 10 to 15 minute wait to be dismissed. Perhaps the slight inconvenience is the difference between our children's safety and an accident. This is not an option.
Thank you for your cooperation,
Sr. Carol

Lunch Payment Reminder
Chris Saracino has requested that all checks for school lunches be made payable to Chris' Pancake & Dining. It would also be helpful if your check would be placed in an envelope with your child's name, grade, and homeroom on it. There are special envelopes for Chris' in the office.
