It is hard to believe
that the school year is almost over. Exams begin at the
end of this week and then, very soon, it will be time
for a well deserved rest for you and your families.
Over the next few weeks many important news items will
be going home. Please take the time to read everything
and respond or make notes, as appropriate, so that you
and the school will be prepared for the 2010-2011 school
year.
The
Final Exam
schedule is on the monthly calendar. Keep it
handy and be sure that your child is doing review each
night.
The HSA is hosting a
Thank You Tea
for all those parents who have given so generously of
their time this year on Friday, June 4th. It
will be in the cafeteria at 8:30. Please let the office
know if you will be attending. We have also invited the
new families who will be joining us next year. Our
happy parents are our best PR. I thank you, in advance,
for welcoming the new families and making them feel a
part of our school family.

places in the different grades. Our happy families are
our best resource. If you know of any children who
might be interested in applying please have them contact
the school.

Supervision letters
went home at the end of May. It is important that you
fill it in and return your choice to school as soon as

In shopping for
uniforms
this summer please keep in mind that the summer options
may be worn from the first day of school through
Columbus Day and then again from Mother’ s Day through
the end of school. Once again Leibman’s is our official
uniform provider. Please don’t put us in the
embarrassing position of having to tell your child that
they are wearing the wrong uniform.
Leibman’s
will be here on Friday, June 4th at 8:30 to
measure if you wish to do so now.
The
school office
will be on a modified schedule throughout the summer.
If you are going to stop by it is wise to call ahead to
be sure someone is here.
FYI FROM
FATHER DEJULIO….
On May 19th we had our first meeting for the Golf
Outing. While we had some new members for the committee
there was NOT ONE school parent present. It is a bit
demoralizing for the committee to see the lack of
support from the school since all the money raised goes
to support the school. Last year the event raised $27K
which makes it the largest fundraiser of the year.
These funds help to offset costs and help to manage
tuition increases. The next meeting for the committee
will be June 30th at 7:30PM in the lower church meeting
room. You do not have to be a golfer or know anything
about golf to work on the committee. Your participation
would be appreciated.
THINKING AHEAD TO NEXT
YEAR…..
School will begin for the First through Eighth Grade
students on Wednesday, September 8, 2010. Student
should report to the cafeteria, as they have all this

full day of school (8:15-2:30) beginning on
September 13, 2010. Afterschool will be available
for all children. The lunch program will begin on
the 13th as well.
I know that this is an
important day for you, as parents. Many of you will
have been apart all summer and would welcome some time
to rekindle friendships. After you drop your children
at the cafeteria, please join other parents in the gym
for a cup of coffee and to reacquaint yourselves.
*Drop
off for grades K-8 will remain the same next
year as this year. If you wish to drop your child at
the door please pull around the circle, drop your child
at the cafeteria doors and proceed out through the
exit. If you wish to come into the building or walk
your child to the cafeteria please park in the lot
across the street, cross with Mr. John, the crossing
guard, and walk up the path to the cafeteria. For
the safety of the children, at no time should anyone be
parked in the upper lot adjacent to the school.
The doors will close at 8:15. If we are still in the
cafeteria praying children should enter through the door
to the left of the cafeteria, sign in with the monitor
and wait to join their class. If we have left the
cafeteria you should bring your child to the Main Office
where you will need to sign them in.
HAVE A SAFE, HAPPY AND HEALTHY SUMMER.
SEE YOU SEPTEMBER 8th!
-Mrs.
Cotronei
