Dear Parents and Guardians,

I hope this letter finds you well and ready for the Resurrection of our Lord on Easter and Spring Break. Many children have shared that they will be traveling with their families. We wish you safe travels!

The children and their teachers continue to learn about Lent and Holy Week. Grades K8 will attend Stations of the Cross on Wednesday, April 1 with seventh graders providing the leadership on this. PreK, Kindergarten, and Buddies have enjoyed special activities and long-standing St. Bart’s traditions in their classrooms this week.

We’ve noticed a marked increase in the number of students who are arriving tardy to school. Please make every effort to have your child at school by 7:25 AM and at the latest at 7:35 AM so that the children do not miss morning prayers. Chronic tardiness causes a disruption in learning and can keep a child from the honor roll.

After Easter, we will be moving to spring uniforms, which means that students are allowed to wear their uniform shorts and khaki skirts and skorts are allowed for the girls. Please check to see if your child needs new uniform components before allowing them to wear these. Children do grow right before our eyes, and clothing that fits just months before can suddenly be too small or uncomfortable to wear.

The winter session of clubs has wrapped up. If you’d like to enroll your child in clubs for the spring, please see the school website for information. Special offerings for the spring session are: Art Club, Music & Movement, Boxing/Fitness, Chess, Cooking Club, Robotics, and Theater.

Spring field trips for students in many grades have been planned and reservations have been made. Some classes have already taken their trips, but others will send information with particulars. Please remember, if you plan to volunteer as a chaperone, you must have submitted all of the required paperwork in advance of the trip. It can take several weeks to complete all of the necessary items. The specific information can be found on the school website under “Quick Links” and then “Become a Volunteer”.

The HSA has given the Super 50/50 raffle tickets to your oldest child today. The turnaround is quick since the drawing is on April 21. Please help us to make this fundraiser a success by selling the tickets that were sent to you.

Here are a few dates that you need to be aware of:

4/2 - 4/12 - Easter vacation
4/23 - Passion Project Night for grades 5-8 6:30PM
4/24 -2nd Grade's Family Day

Thank you for your continued prayers and support.

Wishing you a blessed Easter,
Mrs. Theresa Craig, M.Ed.
