Dear Panther Families,
 
Our registration for 2022-23 is going very well! We currently have 90% of our students re-enrolled for next year and have several new Pre-K and K students, as well. If you have not done so, please register your child to save a spot on the class list for next year. We are currently filling class lists on a first-come, first-serve basis with new students.
 
We will be observing Presidents’ Day on Monday February 21 and will have no school that day, in lieu of a snow makeup day. We will be working on the 2022-23 school year calendar in March and will have that available as soon as it is finalized.
 
Grades 5-8 enjoyed an out-of-uniform day today, Thursday, 2/10 in recognition of all their hard work on their History Day, Science Fair & Wax Museum projects. On Monday, February 14, all students may wear a red, pink, or white top with uniform bottoms in observance of Valentine's Day. As a reminder, no athletic pants, yoga pants, or leggings are allowed. We have something fun in the works for 2/22/22. Stay tuned for more information…
 
There is a trend beginning among the girls to wear colored clip-in extensions in their hair.  We are also starting to see some ornate bows and headbands. Please note that these are not allowed, per our uniform code.  

• Hair must be a natural color. Hair ornaments that distract from the conservative nature of the uniform code are not permitted (novelty headbands, extension clips, etc.). 

Also, please note that no style of boots are allowed to be worn in the classroom throughout the day. A separate pair of shoes must be worn.
 
We are in need of some additional recess and lunch volunteers. If you have a couple of hours a day or two per week (or more), we would love to have you join us. Find more information about signing up to help below in the Good News.
 
I’m looking forward to seeing our students and families at Mass this weekend - Saturday at 4:15pm, and Sunday at 8:15am & 10:30am.
 
God’s Blessing upon you!
