COVID-19 Update: We currently have four students quarantining at home due to being considered a close contact after exposure to a positive case outside of St. Charles. We are extremely grateful for the tremendous efforts all of our families continue to make to help keep in-person learning going and our students and staff safe. Please keep our St. Charles School community in your prayers!
Staffing Updates:
Mrs. Yvonne Markwardt, our 3K Aide, recently made the difficult decision to leave St. Charles. We have been very blessed to have Mrs. M with us for the past couple of years, and we will greatly miss her warm heart and strong faith that she has shared with our school community. Her last day was Friday, January 29, and we wish her all the best as she moves into a new chapter in life. We couldn't be happier for her!
On Monday, February 1, we welcomed
Mrs. Amy Ferguson, one of our school parents and substitute teachers, who will be filling in as our new 3K Aide for the remainder of the school year. We are very excited to have Mrs. Ferguson join our team! Many of you know Amy as she is actively involved in many areas of St. Charles, and you can find her here almost any day helping out somewhere! A big thank you to Mrs. Ferguson for jumping into the 3K Aide position and continuing to serve our community!

Buy-in parties are a fun way to get together with a small group of people and do something you all enjoy. You can be creative when creating your party =E2=80=94 just think of something you like to do and would love to share with others. Some fun ideas include a murder mystery party, glamping/camping trip, or a game night. When you host a party, you get to choose all of the details (theme, date, how many people, etc).
