Dear Parents,
“Blessed art Thou, O Lord our God, King of the universe,
through whose word all things were called into being…” One Hundred Graces
As this new school year begins, it is good for us to recall
that it is God who calls this year into being and so, we bless our God and ask
for God’s continued blessing on our school, you, our parents and children, and
all our school staff. Let us pray together that this school year brings a
harvest of great blessings to all of us.
As this year begins, we welcome to our school staff Mrs.
Jeanne Fuger, who will be teaching Social Studies and Religion to our Jr. High
Students. Mrs. Fuger replaces Mr. Lemmer, who has accepted the position as
principal at St. Andrew School in Rock Falls. We will miss Mr. Lemmer, but wish
him God’s Blessing in this new venture.
Our own school year will be underway soon. Below is the
information you need as you come to our Registration Days on August 7th
and 8th ::
The year will begin on August 22nd with dismissal at 1:00
P.M., with all students in uniform beginning on that first day of school. Lunch
will be served this day. We are praying for a cool down in the weather
department by then! Our school is all shined up and ready for its young
learners, thanks to the efforts of Mr. McCoy and his summer helpers.
Our school day begins at 7:50 A.M. with the first bell.
Students are expected to meet at the Pavilion and to walk into school to their
classrooms. Prayer begins our day at 7:55 A.M. and ends our day at 3:00 P.M. An
Aftercare Program is available and runs from 3:00 to 5:30 P.M. daily except on
days when there is early dismissal or emergency dismissal. The fee for Aftercare is $6.00 per day
per child and includes a snack and a drink as well as supervision by certified
personnel. The Aftercare Program will begin on August 23rd, the first full day
of school.

areas needed to live in our global society. May these August days continue to
be full of good times for you and your family. See you soon!
