Announcements & Reminders

  • NWEA

    This week, Blessed Sacrament will begin our NWEA MAP Growth Fall Testing for students in Kindergarten through Eighth Grade. NWEA MAP Growth testing is an important part of helping us understand each student’s academic progress. These assessments provide teachers with valuable information about student strengths, areas for growth, and instructional needs, allowing us to better tailor instruction to meet each child where they are. We encourage students to do their best, take their time, and approach testing with a positive mindset. MAP Growth is not about a single score, it is about measuring growth and progress over time.

Grandparents may bring outside lunch into the hall, order Crave-It using their family's account, or simply come and sit with their grandchildren. Students with multiple siblings will eat during their youngest grandchild's assigned lunch period. To assist with planning, we ask that you kindly RSVP the number of guests that will be having lunch with their Bulldogs.

  • School Feedback Surveys

    As discussed during our Back to School Nights, I have asked the School Council to evaluate our current contracted vendors for school uniforms and lunch services. This review is intended to ensure that our vendors are effectively meeting the needs and expectations of our school community. Your feedback is an important part of this process. I invite you to take a few minutes to complete each survey and share your experiences and suggestions. Both surveys will remain open through Friday, September 18, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback and for helping us identify opportunities for improvement.

  • Casino Night

    Our Casino Night Planning Committee will meet on Monday, September 14, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. in the Parish Social Room. This will be an initial brainstorming meeting as we begin planning this year’s event. We’ll share ideas, explore possible themes, and begin discussing ways to make this year’s Casino Night a fun and successful event for our school community. If you are interested in joining the planning committee or attending the meeting, please contact the School Office at (210) 824-3381.

  • 2027/2028 TEFA Interest

    The Texas Catholic Conference of Bishops (TCCB) has communicated with Catholic school principals regarding initial planning for the Texas Education Freedom Account (TEFA) Program moving forward. Although families who were unable to apply this year cannot submit an application for the current school year, there is an opportunity to express interest in applying for the 2027/2028 school year. We invite you to indicate your early interest by completing this form. This information will help Catholic schools and the TCCB better understand the level of interest as the Texas Legislature considers potential increases in funding for the TEFA Program. Families whose students are currently on the TEFA waitlist, as well as families who did not apply this year, are encouraged to complete this form.

  • $2 PTC Free Dress Days

    Each month, students have the option to participate in a Free Dress Day for a $2 donation. All money collected is placed into the student’s classroom party savings account and helps offset the cost of classroom parties throughout the school year. Participation is completely optional and is not required of any student. This is simply a fun and easy way for students to contribute toward their classroom parties in small increments throughout the year. We invite you to preview the Free Dress Day guidelines and monthly dates so you can plan ahead.
