From the Principal

I hope this finds you and your

family well and enjoying these

summer days. Before we know it

another school year will be start-

ing and the busyness this brings

will begin.

I am looking forward to another

school year with this wonderful

Catholic community!

I would like to welcome all of

our new families and staff to St.

Mary Catholic School! We are

glad that you heard God’s call to

be a part of the ministry of Cath-

olic education. I will be sharing

general information in this news-

letter about the coming school

year and a few changes that are

in store as well.

Please be sure to check your

FastDirect often. If you are not

able to access FastDirect, please

contact Mrs. Smalley in the

school office for assistance.

Staff Changes

We will have a few staff changes

for the upcoming school year.

They are as follows:

Ms. Gina Cannella will be

teaching 3rd grade this year.

Gina holds a Bachelor of Arts

Degree in Elementary Education

from Benedictine College. She

comes to us with 2 years of expe-

rience in Catholic schools. She

taught 2nd grade at St. Andrew

Catholic School in Fort Worth,

Texas and most recently at

Frassati Catholic Academy in

Thornton.

Ms. Alexandra Bohnsack will

be our Media Specialist as well

as our art teacher this year. Alex-

andra holds a Bachelor of Arts

Degree in Psychology and a Mas-

ter of Education-Alliance for

Catholic Education from the

University of Notre Dame. She

taught 2nd grade for two years at

Our Lady of Perpetual Help

Catholic School in Glendale,

Arizona.

Please plan to participate in our

fundraising opportunities in order

to reach your $976 that you have

agreed to raise. This suggested

fundraising amount does not fully

cover our costs either. Your help

is needed! Scrip is an easy way

to raise this money. There is no

extra expense on your end. Use

Scrip to purchase groceries,

Mrs. Terri Smith

will be taking Mrs. Samantha

Smith’s maternity leave in the

fall. Mrs. Smith holds a Bache-

lor’s Degree in Physical Educa-

tion and has 10 credit hours to-

wards a Master’s in Education.

She currently holds a Colorado

Teacher Certificate. Mrs. Smith

has been a substitute teacher for

us for a couple of years.

Fundraising

Fundraising is a necessity for our

school. Our per pupil cost is ap-

proximately $6,705 per year.

With our Catholic tuition rate at

$4200, the remaining $2505 is

being offset by fundraising efforts

and supporting parish subsidies.

gasoline, Dennis Uniforms, or a

night out. You can also

use them as gifts. Scrip can be

purchased over the summer in

the Parish office. Their summer

hours are Monday-Thursday

8am-4pm. They are closed on

Fridays. Please support our

fundraising efforts!

The First Day of School

The first day of school will be Monday,

August 27th. School will dismiss at 12:00

Noon. There will be NO after school Care on

this day. Regular school hours will begin on

Tuesday, August 28th. Regular school hours

are 8:15am-3:30pm. Let’s make a conscience

effort to ensure the students are in their class-

room seats by 8:10am to avoid being tardy.

Volunteer Hours

Volunteering at St. Mary Catholic School is

vital to the success of our school! When

everyone works together, the more vibrant

the community becomes. I am asking each

family to log at least 25 hours this school

year. This can be done by one family mem-

ber or each member can work toward the 25

hour requirement. If you have received a

scholarship, we ask that you volunteer at

least 40 hours. Be sure to log in your time

when you come to the school so that your

hours are accounted for. If you’d like to

volunteer to help track hours, call the school

office!

Ice Cream Social

Please join us for an Ice Cream Social after the

noon Mass from 1:00pm -3:00pm on Sunday,

August 26th at the school. All are welcome to

come visit the classrooms, meet the teachers

and bring school supplies prior to the first day

of school. This is also an opportunity to meet

new families and share summer happenings

over ice cream. I’m looking forward to seeing

everyone!

Back to School Night

We will have a Back to School Night on

Wednesday, September 5th beginning at

6:00pm. The evening will begin in the school

gym. We will be sharing important infor-

mation with you. You will have opportunities

to sign up for various committees, including

PTO and our Ambassadors Committee and

you will have an opportunity to go to your

child’s classroom and hear from your child’s

teacher about the expectations and various

happenings for the year. I encourage everyone

to attend!

Early Release

We will continue to have early release days

this school year. Our early release will be

the first Wednesday of MOST months.

Please be sure to check the school calendar

to know which months will be early release

months. Early release means a 1:00pm

dismissal. After school Care will be availa-

ble on these days. This will give our staff

extended opportunities for staff develop-

ment. Our first early release day will be

Wednesday, October 3rd.

New Family Orientation

If you are new to our school, please plan to

attend our New Family Orientation on Thurs-

day, August 30th beginning at 6:00pm in the

parish hall. This will be an opportunity for

you to learn more about our school and to ask

any questions you may have.

Lunch Orders

As soon as the lunch menus are available for

August and September they will be sent out so

you can place your orders.

Forgotten Lunches

We continue to have this problem of forgotten

lunches. Please make an effort to ensure that

your child has a lunch for the day. The lunch-

es that the teachers make are not meant to be a

convenience for families. It is meant for stu-

dents who forgot their lunch. When we make

a lunch for your child, it takes away from our

regular duties. If you receive a forgotten

lunch charge, please be sure to pay it right

away so that Mrs. Smalley doesn’t have to

spend time reminding you. Thank you for

your cooperation with this.

Academic Calendar and School Calendar

Enclosed are the academic and school calen-

dars for 2018-2019. Please keep these calen-

dars in a visible place for future reference. The

academic calendar gives you the days off dur-

ing the school year and the school calendar is a

more in depth schedule of all school events.

Please note that the school calendar is subject

to change.

School Bus

The situation with the small school bus is still

under investigation and we are waiting to hear

from our insurance company before deciding

our next steps. In the meantime, we still have

the larger bus that we will use to transport the

Ft. Lupton families and are actively searching

for a bus driver. If you know of anyone inter-

ested in this part-time position, please have

them contact Mrs. Bornhoft.

Language History Questionnaire

In order to best serve our students, we are

asking each family to fill out the Language

History Questionnaire for each child attending

St. Mary Catholic School. This questionnaire

will help us to identify students that may bene-

fit from support services from our staff and

may allow our school to receive Title funds.

These Title funds help to provide extra help

and resources for these students. You can

either mail this to the school, or return it with

your child on the first day of school. Thank

you for taking the time to fill this out.

It is time to start thinking about St. Mary Band

My name is Jeffrey Davis, I am your new (old) band director. I taught at St. Mary School from 2009 –

2013. Now I am back.

I hope you had a great summer, and I know, there is still summer left. BUT, this is the time to find that

band instrument, open the case and play some beautiful notes to get ready for the school year. You

might need to get something fixed, or maybe some new reeds. Also, look around for those band books.

Play last year’s solo just for fun. Play the theme from the new Star Wars movie.

NEVER BEEN IN BAND? I have the deal for you!

On Tuesday & Thursday, Aug. 28 & 30. This is open to 4

th – 8

th Graders

Come to the St. Mary Music Room, from 3:35 to 4:20 pm. I will have Woodwinds, Brass and

Percussion instruments available for YOU TO TRY with the help of some experts on those

instruments. You can TRY OUT any or all of the instruments to see which one you want to play.

Parents, I will be available for questions about band.

If you want to TRY instruments but can’t come at that time, contact me and we will setup a time.

PARENTS: You can Rent to Own instruments at our local music store, Music Depot or you can go

out of town. Boomer Music in Ft. Collins is excellent. If you decide to use an instrument from a

relative, friend, or garage sale, it is best to have it checked out by a professional (music store) to make

sure it is ready to play. A broken instrument just discourages the student.

5th

– 8th

Graders – If you want to learn an instrument you will start in Cherub

(Beginning) Band, but I will move you up to Angel (Advanced Band) as soon as you

are ready.

“I Was In Band, but I haven’t been in for a year or longer.”

If This is You -- COME BACK!! You can sign up for Angel Band, the weekly lessons will catch you up. Give it another try.

The weekly band schedule and private lessons will remain the same as in past years. More Band

information will be in the next newsletter; including band start dates, concert dates, supplies needed,

books, lesson fees, etc. Please contact me with questions or concerns.
