The First Week of Advent - Hope




Heavenly Father, As we enter this season of Advent, we open our hearts to the light of Your hope. In this first week, renew in us a joyful anticipation of the coming of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Help us to trust in Your promises, to wait with patience, and to be filled with a hope that does not fade. May Your grace strengthen us to walk in faith, knowing that in Christ, all things are made new. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Announcements & Reminders

  • First Day of School

    Our First Day of School will be on Monday, August 14, 2023! Morning Care, Lunch, and After School Care will be provided. Please note that our 2023/2024 Dismissal of Students will take place at 3:25 p.m. It is our prayer that the Blessed Sacrament bless us abundantly this year with grace, peace, and mercy. Please do not hesitate to reach out to either one of us with any questions, comments, joys, or concerns.

  • Morning Meetings - Attendance

    This year, each classroom will host a Morning Meeting following Morning Prayer and Announcements. This is part of our campus-wide effort to expand and enhance our approach to Social Emotional Learning (SEL). I humbly ask that students make every effort to arrive on time so they can be part of their Morning Meeting and begin building stronger connections with their teachers and classmates. I genuinely appreciation working together, as partners in education, to have our students before the Morning Bell at 7:55 a.m.

  • First School Mass

    Our first school Mass will take place on Monday, August 15, 2023, at 8:00 a.m. as we celebrate the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Mother, a Holy Day of Obligation. It is important that we celebrate the important role our Blessed Mother plays in our Catholic Church. Due to the ongoing heat wave, male students may wear the regular school uniform through the month of August.

  • Important School Forms

    School forms will be sent home with each student on Monday. The School Office kindly requests that all forms be completed and submitted to your student's Homeroom Teacher on or before Thursday, August 17, 2023. Additional forms are available on the school's website and in the School Office.

  • Back to School Nights

    Our Back to School Nights will be held on Wednesday, August 16th (Middle School) and Thursday, August 17th (Elementary). All BTS Nights will begin at 6:00 p.m. in the Parish Banquet Hall. We request at least one parent or guardian to attend these important meetings.

  • Special Bulldog Spirit Day

    All students, faculty, and staff members are invited to participate in a Special Bulldog Spirit Day on Friday, August 18, 2023, due to the First Day of School not being a Spirit Dress Day. Students may come in a Blessed Sacrament (School, Church, or CYO) Shirt, T-Shirt, or Jersey or a UIW Shirt, T-Shirt, or Jersey and Cargo Shorts, Blue Jeans, Blue Jean Shorts, or Capri's, and Tennis Shoes.
