Inclement Weather Notifications:
To ensure the safety of our students, families, and staff, notification will be sent via Constant Contact, Facebook and posted on our School’s website, in cases of a delayed start or closure. Please check these sources if you wake up to snow or icy roads before heading out the door. If inclement weather occurs while we are at school, we will also issue notification through the above sources.

Thank you to the Turnbull family for donating this beautiful Christmas tree! We are excited to decorate the campus this Saturday!

We are so blessed by the friends and families of St. Nicholas Catholic School who continue to support us! Currently, our cost to educate is $3,700 more than what we charge for tuition. It is important that every school family contribute to the Annual Giving Campaign as an act of commitment to our school. Every dollar counts, and every donation matters, large and small. Please donate today!

You can make a contribution to our school on the website, or by returning your donation envelope to the school office. To donate online, click here and be sure to choose school annual giving: https://pushpay.com/g/stnicholasgigharbor?src=hpp

Have a great break!

Parents: Are you looking for a time to get some "kid free" Christmas shopping done? Sign up for the SNCS Drop & Shop! The cost is $25 for your first child and $20 for each additional sibling. Proceeds will benefit our scholarship programs. Dinner and snacks will be provided, and the kids will have fun with some Christmas games and activities. Students are welcome to come in their pajamas and bring a pillow and blanket as there will be a special Christmas movie showing at the end.

Pre-registration is required, and you can do so by signing up here: https://forms.gle/QYkacwtt17fLAL567. You can submit payment in the office with Karen before the event.
