Announcements & Reminders

  • Happy New Year!

    We hope you had a restful and enjoyable break! As we kick off the second semester, we are excited to continue our journey of growth and learning together. We are looking forward to a fresh start and all the opportunities this new semester brings.

    Please stay tuned for upcoming events, updates, and important reminders. Let’s work together to make this semester even more successful than the last!

    Thank you for your continued support. Here’s to a great second half of the year!

  • Updated Dismissal Procedures

    After reviewing our Elementary and Intermediate Dismissal Process last semester, we are making the following modifications effective Monday, January 5, 2026. Please take the time to share these updates with those family members who assist in picking up students in Pre-Kindergarten 3 through 5th Grade.

    1. Pedestrians are asked to only cross at the front of the dismissal line or at the entrance to the courtyard. Please do not cross between vehicles.
    2. Vehicles are asked to stop at one of the colored flags. Students will be called to a specific colored flag for pick-up.
    3. Please do not get out of vehicles as this delays the dismissal line. Students needing to be placed into a safety car seat or buckled in are asked to park in the parking lot and walk to pickup their student or wait until 3:35 p.m. to go through the dismissal line.

  • NWEA Winter Testing

    NWEA Winter Testing will begin this week with Reading administered on Wednesday for students in Kindergarten through 8th Grade. Science will be administered on Thursday for students in 2nd Grade through 8th Grade. While NWEA Map Growth Testing is only a snapshot of student learning, it is important that students fuel up for success with a good night’s rest, your brain’s best warm-up. In the morning, power up with a healthy breakfast to keep those thinking muscles strong. Then come to school wearing your positive vibes, confidence, and Bulldog pride!

    Remember: do your best, take your time, and believe in yourself. You’ve got this. Let’s show the world what Blessed Sacrament Bulldogs can do!

  • Blessed Night @ Freddy's

    The Blessed Sacrament Catholic School Council warmly invites you to take part in our Winter Campus Clean-Up Day on Saturday, January 10, 2026, from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.

    Let’s come together as a community to freshen up our beautiful campus with a few small, but meaningful, projects. Every helping hand makes a difference!

    Whether you can stay for the whole morning or just drop by for a bit, your time and effort are greatly appreciated. We’d love to see you there!

  • Cafeteria Vending Machine

    Last semester, a new healthy vending machine was installed in the School Cafeteria. This provides students, in all grade levels, with the opportunity for healthier options during morning snack, lunch, and after school. We invite you to look at the Snack Menu provided by Healthy Vending!
