View this email in your browser A Note from the Principal We are excited to announce that we will have double classrooms in Kindergarten, First Grade and Second grade next year. We want to set the school up for success for years to come as well as make sure our students and families are taken care of as we grow. Double classes will ensure that our student-to-teacher ratios remain low while giving teachers and students extra support in the classroom. We have seen tremendous growth in our first grade students this year as Mr. Ventura and Ms. D have worked all year as a team to support their students. We are looking forward to the exciting things happening next year.  We will be having a parent meeting for all families interested in receiving the sacrament of Communion this year. If your child is in second grade or older and you would like them to receive Communion please come to our informational meeting on Thursday at 5pm in the 2nd grade classroom. The church will be hosting a VIRTUS recertification class on Friday at 7pm. If you'd like to sign up, call the church office. Financial Aid applications for the 2022-23 school year are now available. If you receive ANY amount of discounted tuition you MUST complete the application BEFORE  March 31, 2022 to receive any type of tuition discounts in the next school year.
