Picture Day: We had a very successful Picture Day yesterday! The kids looked great and did a wonderful job smiling for our photographers. A big thank-you to Amy Galati for all her hard work in organizing this event and being here to assist all of our students!
 

Dress Down Pass Sale: We will be selling dress down passes from September 21-October 2! Purchase five dress down passes for $10 and let your kids have days off from wearing their uniform. For 1^st semester:  Each child can purchase 2 packs of 5 dress down passes ($10/pack).  Print the form here and turn it in to the School Office. The fee will be applied to your TADS account; please do not send cash/checks. Students must use all of their 1^st semester passes by February 1.  Dress down passes cannot be used on Mass days. Passes purchased during this sale will be distributed to families the week of October 12.

Parent Information Night: Thank you for your patience and understanding as we get this new and unique school year underway! We will need to conduct our Parent Information Nights a little differently this year (virtually) but will still make sure you receive all of the necessary information from your child's teacher(s). We will share more information in the coming weeks, but please note the date of October 1 for our Parent Information Night.

School Masses: As you may have heard in Fr. Ken and Fr. Nick's video on Monday, the seating capacity for Mass will be increased. During school Masses, our safety protocols will still be in place, and students will continue to be socially distanced. 

Early Release Day: There will be early release on Tuesday, September 22 at 11:45 a.m. for Teacher In-service.

Back-to-School Forms: Please turn in your Back-to-School Forms if you haven't already! Click here for the forms.

Soles for Catholic Education Walk: The Soles for Catholic Education Walk is going virtual this year on Saturday, October 17! More information is coming soon on how St. Charles plans to participate as a community. In the meantime, you are able to donate to St. Charles through the Soles for Catholic Education Walk website! Money raised through their website will be matched by sponsorship dollars donated by Walk Sponsors. The more we earn, the more money we will receive in matching funds! Money raised will go toward new playground equipment here at St. Charles. Please consider donating through the Soles for Catholic Education Walk website to help us receive matching funds. Thank you for supporting our school and Catholic education! 

St. Charles Masks: St. Charles face masks are available in gold and black! Youth masks are $8, and adult masks are $10. Quantities are very limited! You will be billed for masks through your TADS account, and masks will be sent home with your child. If you are interested in a St. Charles mask, please contact Allison Caswell.

MAP Testing: Students in grades 5K-8 will be taking MAP (Measure of Academic Progress) Tests in reading and math this Fall. This test is used as a snapshot of your child's academic achievement. Students will take these tests again in Winter and Spring, providing academic growth data, as well. Our window for Fall testing has started. Your child's teacher will communicate specific dates for their class. For more information about MAP Testing, visit the parent toolkit website. 

Endter's Night: St. Charles Night at Endter's in Hartland will be on Sunday, September 20 from 4-10 p.m.! Endter's will donate $5 for every large pizza and $3 for every small pizza to St. Charles Parish School. Dine in or carry out.

Culver's Dining Out: Culver's Dining Out will now be for a week, not just one night! This will allow for more distancing inside of their restaurant. Dining out at Culver's will be from Monday, October 5 through Sunday, October 11. Mention you're with St. Charles, and 10% of sales from the evening will be donated to the parish and school. Offer good for dine in or carry out. 

Safeguarding Training: All volunteers must complete Safeguarding All of God's Family training. Do you need to take the class? They are being offered virtually! Click here for more information and to sign up. Are you uncertain if you've completed training? You can check through CMG Connect. 

Recess Help: We are looking to hire an extra recess supervisor for the school year! If you would like to help out and/or learn more, please email Dan Garvey. The hours are from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. 

Lunch & Health Room: We are in need of parent volunteers to help during our lunch periods as well as in the health room! No experience necessary. Please click here for more information and to sign up. We appreciate your help!
