IMPORTANT REMINDERS:
September 14 @ 5 p.m. is a NDS School Mass at St. Mary’s. No uniforms or
free dress passes for this one.
September 18 is the Dine and Donate at Mary’s Pizza Shack. Enjoy a night off
from cooking and give back to the school.
Friday, September 20th, is a Non-Student day. There is no school, as teachers
will be at an in-service with all other teachers in the Diocese of Sacramento.
Sunday, September 22nd @ 12 noon is an NDS School Mass at St. Joseph. All
students who attend in full uniform will receive a free dress pass.
Looking ahead, October 2-4, 2024, are minimum days for parent-teacher
conferences. It is the expectation that every teacher and parent meet.
From the Principal’s Desk:
- School Pictures are scheduled for September 25th. We are using a new company this
year so please look for more information to come home soon.
- An important reminder for parking lot safety at pick up: if you’d like to remain in your car
please use the car line for pick up. Students should not be navigating the parking lot
without an adult. It’s very busy at this, and it's easy for an accident to happen. If you
want to park, please kindly get out of our car to come pick up your students and walk
with them through the lot. Adults are a lot easier to see than students. Thank you in
advance!
- Please see the attached letter regarding Circle of Grace, our Safe Environment training
for students through the Diocese. Action only needs to be taken if you do not wish
to have your child participate in the lessons. Opt-out forms are due before
September 23.
