GRANDPARENT'S DAY: Friday, October 5, 2018 - STC School will celebrate Grandparent's Day. All grandparents are invited to attend the 9:00am mass with the school. They are then invited back to our school to see the classrooms and enjoy light refreshments with Ms. Dixon in the cafeteria. This will be an EARLY DISMISSAL day (11:30am). All grandparents may take their grandchildren at dismissal. Please send in a NOTE stating this change in transportation of WHO they will dismiss with. There will be CARES and regualr car line that day if not going home with a grandparent. Busing will be limited, as not all districts pick up for early dismissal. PLEASE CHECK YOUR BUS DISTRICT'S POLICY for early dismissal if your child will be on a bus going home this day.
****Do not worry if a grandparent cannot attend. There are plenty of grandparents that visit our room and love to share their time with another student too!****
When studying for tests with your children please utilize my pages on the website. They are here for the ease of studying and help you to pinpoint the areas to work on with your children.

Please check your students progress online weekly on our grading site. This is your way of knowing how your child is progressing. Do not wait until report card time to see your child's grades. You may access their grades as often as you like. Our grading website is MSP. If you need your MSP login information, please contact the school office as I do not have your usernames and passwords at my disposal.
Your child will need a snack everyday. We have a few food allergies in the classroom so please be conscientious of this fact when packing your snacks. Your child will have snack break in the morning this year. We have peanut allergies and tree nut allergies.Please send in WATER only for snack drinking. Thanks for your cooperation!!!
Please always be aware of the weather and send your child in appropriate outside gear. We try to go outside as much as we can for some run around time!!!
I will be using the REMIND app this year to remind everyone via text right to your phone of any pertinent information that comes up throughout the year. My advice would be to get these text alerts to both parents' phones when possible. You will need to text this message @8efkak to the number 81010
Please remember that if you would like to volunteer in any capacity, you will need any and all required clearances. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact the school office at 610-287-2500. Thank you!

you meet, to see Jesus."
