This Wednesday marks the end of the First Quarter. PlusPortals will be closed to parents from Wednesday October 28 to Thursday November 5th so teachers can finalize report cards. Report cards will be distributed digitally on November 5th through PlusPortals.

This Thursday, we will celebrate Halloween. Students in Grade Pre-K through 7th are permitted to wear their Halloween costumes or accessories to class. Please make sure costumes are morally appropriate, follow the standards for dress down day attire, and do not obscure the face.

This Thursdays, our 8th Grade will be representing our school at Virtual Mission Day, where they will come together with other schools and learn about God's call to each of us to share His word. They may wear costumes/accessories in the afternoon after Mission Day is complete.

There is no school this Friday October 30th for Teacher Professional Development. Have a great week!

Mrs. Lewis

Washington CYO is currently working towards offering a CYO Basketball program this winter even thought there are many hurdles and uncertainties to face. Currently basketball games are not allowed due to local and county restrictions. The season will almost inevitably be delayed but I would like to first gauge interest in playing basketball this season and prepare to play. If the CYO is able to schedule a season it will most likely start in December in a limited capacity. Signed participation waivers will be in place for all individuals on the roster.

Please assist me in completing the following items:

1. Return any athletic items belonging to St. Marys to the school office. (Uniforms, basketballs, bats, helmets, soccer balls, etc.)

2. Notify me if you are interested in participating in Basketball or Softball this school year.

3. Attend the required training if planning to coach or assist in CYO Sports (Vertus, PLACT, Concussion, Heat Illness)

4. Send response by October 21 to lenny.meyers@gmail.com

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Sincerely,

Lenny Meyers

(Basketball Commissioner)
