COMMUNION & PENANCE NOTICES
-
Please check your email. A letter has been sent out today, 4/1, informing you of our set Communion practices. The same letter is in your child's message folder. I will also post a link with the letter on this page. Have a Happy Easter!
Communion Practice Information- Click to read.
A Communion date has been set. Our First Holy Communion will be on May 8th at 10:00.
Communion banners and accessories were sent home. Banners can be added to or changed, if you like. I know that sometimes lace or other accessories have been glued on. PLEASE make sure that if you change the felt for the background, that it is the SAME SIZE as what was given. Also, PLEASE DO NOT use the glue from the kit (if there is any in there). In years past, I had to reglue items that were falling off because the glue was no good. Craft glue, or hot glue works best. Banners will be collected the week before Communion. Please do NOT send them in early, as I have no safe place to store them!
A Communion mask is in the bag as well. You do not have to use this one (as far as I understand), but it is a nice one. A spare mask is always good to have. -

** All parents and students MUST wear their masks from the car to school in the morning and ALL the way to the car at dismissal. Please do not remove your mask before you reach your car.We have two new school policies. This applies to all grades K - 8
** When a 5 day a week student is absent from the classroom, or on remote, they will no longer be allowed to take an assessment at home. They will make up any assessments when they return to school.
** If a 5 day a week student is out and will be remote the parent must send an email to the teacher or notify the office that the child will be remote for the day.
** If 3 days of in person school is missed, a student must have a doctor's note to return.

**We are going to try to make the best of our own space. Whenever possible, please send your child with one of those command sticky hooks. A 5 lb. hook would probably work best. We will use these on the side of our desks to hang the coat and school bag as the weather gets colder. Coats are already falling all over the floor. Hopefully this helps!

Math page 85 # 1-3, pg. 86 all problems.**We are going to try to make the best of our own space. Whenever possible, please send your child with one of those command sticky hooks.
