Dear Saint Vincent de Paul School families,

I hope to see you at the church picnic and open house this Sunday from 12-2. Join us for food and a tour of the church and school.

Mrs. Salamon

FENCE Great news! The main fence has been repaired and the students are enjoying outside recess. We are still working with city officials to have guard rails placed in front of the playground fence

ST. VINCENT DE PAUL FEAST DAY September 27th. In honor of our patron saint who is known for charity, we are requesting our students bring a canned good to present to the altar at our Friday school mass on September 27th. The canned goods will be donated to our Ladies Auxiliary who provide food for the needy in our community. Thank you.

AFTER-SCHOOL ENRICHMENT OPPORTUNITY The parent Association is providing the opportunity for our students to attend after-school enrichment programs in October. Please review the attached information.

MAP TESTING MAP is a computer adaptive standardized test which our students take in the fall, winter and spring. The results provide teachers with information to help them deliver appropriate content for each student and determine each student's academic growth over time. Testing continues until September 27.

CAFETERIA For your awareness, our school is following the National School Lunch Program Standards. All students must preregister for lunch at the beginning of the week. In following these standards we are no longer able to provide free seconds.

WHEN TO KEEP YOUR CHILD HOME Our Family Handbook states: If your child has been vomiting, diarrhea, a sore throat, earache, a heavy discharge from the nose, skin rash, eye infections, or an elevated temperature of 100 degrees or above, he or she should be at home. Temperature must be normal, without medication, for 24 hours, and there must be no vomiting for 24 hours before returning to school.
