Parents & Students

August 1, 2010

Dear Parents,

Welcome to the 2010-2011 school year! Old St. Mary’s School is beginning its seventh year and over 210 students will walk through our playground gates this fall. The faculty and I are looking forward to a very successful year.

School begins on August 25 with an opportunity for you and your children to meet their teachers and see their classrooms between 9:30-11:30 A.M. If your child has supplies for the classroom, this would be an ideal time to bring them. Monday, August 26, will be the first full day of school. School begins this year at 8:00 A.M. and ends at 2:40 P.M. The playground gates will open at 7:45 each morning. All parents are invited to coffee in the Social Hall immediately following the morning drop off on August 26. Father Mike and I look forward to personally welcoming you and answering any questions you may have. Important information on the daily morning drop-off procedures is included in this letter.
