    Hi Parents, 
     
    It was great to see you during the first week of class.  We hope that your children had a great week and we look forward to seeing you this coming week.  
     
    Here are a few reminders:
     
    1.  The diocesan required Christian Chastity Lesson will be presented to all students in grades 1-6 during class on Sunday, October 2, Monday, October 3 and Wednesday, October 5.  The lessons are provided by the diocese and are able to be reviewed by parents at this  site.
       
    If you do not want your child to participate, please fill out and submit the opt out form. 
    If you opt out, please do not bring your child to class on the day of the lesson.   
    If you do not fill out an opt out form, your child must attend the lesson as scheduled this week or the make up lesson on your scheduled class day the week of November 13 - 16. 
     
    2.  PARENT MEETINGS HAVE BEEN CANCELED!!   We will send an email with the important information needed for this year.  Please email any questions that you have after reviewing the materials and watch for volunteer sign ups coming out soon.   Be sure to check out our parent webpage.
     
     
    3.  There is no class on Sunday, October 9, Monday, October 10 and Wednesday, October 12 due to the Columbus Day holiday.  Please download the calendar  so that you are up to date on all scheduled class times.
