Dear Parents, 

We are only days away from kicking off the 2020-2021 school year! Teachers and staff have been busy organizing the school, collaborating on all the new procedures in place to keep students and staff safe, learning about new technology, and preparing their classrooms to welcome our students back. Looking forward to having students back in the building is an understatement — we've missed our kiddos more than you can ever imagine and can't wait to see them! We are excited to see you all at Meet & Greet on Monday.

We will be sending out class lists for this year tomorrow! Keep an eye out for that email in the afternoon.

We are looking to hire an extra recess supervisor for the upcoming school year. If you would like to help out and/or learn more about this position, please email me. We would need your help from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. 

Following His plan,
Mr. Garvey


WHAT'S NEW?
Parent Coffee Social: Please join us for coffee and fellowship with other parents on Thursday, September 3 after drop off! While this annual Home & School event will look a little different this year, we still have much to celebrate! Please bring your own coffee and lawn chair, be mindful of social distancing, and look for us by the Marian statue to the East of church. This is a wonderful opportunity for new and returning parents to connect, fellowship with other parents, and welcome new faces to the St. Charles community. Remember to park on a side street, not in the church/school parking lot. We look forward to seeing you!

Paid Lunch Program: St. Charles is in the process of considering a new lunch provider for this school year. As some providers require a minimum amount of orders daily, we are asking families to complete this survey by Wednesday, September 2 to let us know if you would be interested. Thank you for your help!

Meet & Greet: We are very much looking forward to welcoming you back on Monday, August 31 from 12-6 p.m.! Although our Meet and Greet will look different this year, we will still make sure that you have time to meet our teachers and staff and get supplies to the classrooms. Please have your child’s supplies in a bag or box (labeled with their name). You can park in the lot and walk up to the appropriate grade-level station. Teachers will be present at the stations to meet with you and gather supplies. We also have parent volunteers who will assist with getting supplies to the appropriate classrooms so that teachers can take the time to meet students and chat with parents. We ask that you practice social distancing and wear a mask as we work through these new situations. We sincerely appreciate everyone’s help and understanding!
