St. Mary's Families,

We had a great first full week of school! Here is what is on the calendar for the week:

Monday - Chicken legs, mashed potatoes, roll
*There is a mandatory parent meeting in the gym at 6pm. Only 1 parent will need to be there. We will discuss school expectations and talk about upcoming school events. Parents will then break out into classroom sessions to get information from the teachers. Don't worry. There will be more than 1 session per grade so parents with more than 1 student in the building can make it to all of the sessions they need.

Tuesday - Beef burrito, chips & salsa

Wednesday - Pancakes, sausage, fruit, yogurt

Thursday - Marsha's Deli - Choice of ham, turkey, or PB&J sandwich

Friday - Papa Dons - Choice of cheese sticks or beef and cheddar pizza

Reminder: There will be no school on Monday, August 31st due to teacher in-service.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Prayers for another great week!

Yours in Christ,
Whitney Dauben

Little minds at work today! Mrs. Fox and her 2nd graders had a good time working together with a “Saving Fred” STEM Activity. Gummy worms always make learning more fun! 😁

We kicked off our school year this morning by being greeted by the FSCC baseball team! What a fun tradition! Today was a great day filled with lots of smiling faces. Looking forward to a wonderful year!!

Today was our first day! What a beautiful prayer to start it off. 💙

Dear Lord,
As our students begin a new school year,
We pray that you will keep them in your care.
Send your Spirit to open their minds
to all that is true and beautiful and good.
Help them to see the gifts and talents
you have given them and to use them well.
Help them to grow in knowledge and wisdom.
Help them to be kind to others
and lead others to be kind to them.
Give their teachers patience and understanding
and help them teach what is just and true.
Send your angels to guide and guard our
children and to keep them from all harm.
Open their young hearts to your presence
and enfold them in your peace and protection.
Hold them in the palm of your hand
and bring them home safely at day’s end.
Amen.

St. Mary’s families,

🍎 We are looking forward to a great school year! Can’t wait to see everyone tomorrow! Here are some reminders:

⏰ School doors open at 7:30. Please do not leave your child unattended before the doors unlock. The FSCC Baseball Team will be out front greeting kids as they enter the building. This has become a fun tradition!

‼️ School hours are from 7:50 - 3:20. It is important to drop your child off before the tardy bell. If they are not in their classrooms before that time, they will be marked tardy.

🍌 Pack a snack and water bottle daily. Snacks need to be healthy and can be eaten without a utensil.

🍴 Lunch is from 11:50-12:20. Please refer back to the August calendar for the daily menu options. Tomorrow is Marsha’s Deli sandwiches or sack lunch is always an option! For new families, teachers will take lunch and bus count every morning. Make sure your child knows what they are doing for lunch and how they are getting home every day. They can either take their water bottle to lunch or order a milk. No pop, please.

⏰ Dismissal is at 3:20. Please refer to the handbook or email recently sent out on which door you are to meet your child. This will help you know where to park as well.

✍️ Label tags of St. Mary’s jackets and sweatshirts with your child’s initials or family name as these items tend to get lost or mixed up throughout the school year.

📁 Check and return your child’s folders daily as teachers may send home important information.

👕 Uniform/dress code - look in the handbook for reminders. (Handbook is on our school website: www.smsftscott.com.)

🚌 NO BUSES will be available tomorrow. Public school is not in session. Buses will be available on Friday.

📝 Virtus Training will be available next Wednesday, Aug. 19th at 6:30pm. I highly recommend attending this session. You will NOT be able to help or volunteer in the school without this training. If you cannot make it, we can find another meeting you can attend. If you do not know if you have been trained, call the office to check. This goes for grandparents wanting to volunteer and help in the building as well.

✔️ Always refer back to the handbook for any questions or contact the school. Please call the office if you are not receiving emails or texts.

❤️Looking forward to an awesome year!

Yours in Christ,
Mrs. Dauben
