Announcements & Reminders

  • First Day of School

    We’re excited to welcome everyone back as we begin a new school year! Please note that our first day of school will be Monday, August 17, 2026. Morning Care, Lunch, and After School Care will all be available on the first day. It is my heartfelt prayer that the Blessed Sacrament and our Blessed Mother shower our school community with joy, grace, peace, and laughter in the coming year. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to Father Johnson or me with any questions, comments, joys, or concerns. We’re here for you and your family!

  • The Bulldog Way

    Our 2026/2027 The Bulldog Way (Parent-Student Policy Handbook) is not available for review. Throughout the year, changes may be made to the Parent-Student Policy Handbook as needed or directed by the Archdiocese of San Antonio’s Department of Catholic Schools, Pastor, Principal or School Council. In the event the handbook is amended, notification will be sent to parents regarding the amended policy.

  • Back to School Nights

    Our 2026/2027 Back to School Nights will be held on Monday, August 24, 2026 (Elementary), and on Tuesday, August 25, 2026 (Middle School). Both evenings will begin in the Parish Banquet Hall at 6:00 p.m. We request that at least one parent or guardian attend these important meetings.

  • Project Wisdom

    Each morning, following Morning Prayer or Mass, we invite a student to share a nugget of wisdom with our school community through Project Wisdom. Students receive a short, scripted message to practice and share with their peers. These messages help remind us that we have the power to choose our mindset and make positive choices each day. Students in Third through Eighth Grade are invited and encouraged to sign up for one or two dates to participate. Our August and September Project Wisdom Sign-Up is now available! Once students sign up, Mrs. Rodriguez, our School Counselor, will provide them with their assigned reading and help them prepare to share it with the school community.

    ➡️ Sign Up to Read a Project Wisdom Message!

  • Altar Servers

    Students who have made their First Holy Communion are invited to sign up to serve as an altar server at our school Masses.
    Whether you are a new altar server or have served in the past, you must sign up again for the upcoming school year. Training will be provided during the school day for all new and returning altar servers, so no prior experience is necessary.

    ➡️ Sign Up for Altar Serving at School Mass!
