Dear Saint Paul School Families,
It is hard to believe that September is just a week away and a new school year is about to begin. I hope everyone enjoyed the hot summer days!
Welcome to Saint Paul School those families who are new to our community as well as to all returning families.
The day to day operations of the school fulfill Saint Paul School Mission Statement as follows:
Saint Paul School is a Catholic community in which love of God, neighbor, and self are foremost. We provide a challenging curriculum promoting academic excellence infused with Catholic traditions and values.
The faculty, staff and I look forward to an exciting and rewarding school year!
It has been an extremely busy summer at Saint Paul’s. Walls doors, and stairs have been painted, carpets cleaned and floors and desks polished. The school looks wonderful!
The School Theme for 2010-11 is ‘Good News in Education’. We will celebrate our ‘Great News in Education’ throughout the school year!
The School Motto will continue this year with ‘Manners Matter at Saint Paul School’. The students will receive ‘Student of the Month’ certificates honoring the Fruits of the Spirit. “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, self-control.”, Galatians 5:22
Current health information is required for all new students. Please inform the nurses, Barbara D’Antuono and Susan Bonn, of any special medical needs that child may have. Saint Paul School will remain a nut free environment. We appreciate your help in providing all students with a safe learning environment. Information regarding immunization and our Food Allergy Program is available on the school website under Nurses’ Notes.
A VIRTUS Training session for ALL new parents and faculty is schedule for Saturday, September 11th at 8:30am-11:00am in the school gym. All parents must complete the 2010-2011 CORI forms. Thank you for your cooperation.
