Our 8th grade class has been invited to Bishop Stang on Tuesday, December 19 for a retreat in the morning. Students will leave school around 8:00 a.m. and return around 12:30 p.m. Students should wear their gym uniform.
Before school care is available from 6:45 until 7:45 a.m. each morning for a fee of $5. Students who are not attending before school care may not be dropped off until 7:40 a.m. Any student who is waiting outside in the front or back of the school before 7:40 a.m. will be let in the building and sent to before school care.
Our Christmas show is on Monday, December 11 at 6:00 p.m. at Bishop Connolly High School. All 8th grade students should arrive no later than 5:15 p.m. Students in Pre–K through 7th grade should arrive no later than 5:45 p.m. Students should enter the theater and report to their teacher for attendance and to receive their materials. Students will sit in reserved seating in the front. Students should wear their Sunday best. Please wear red or green if you can.
Holy Name School is selling Dress Down Day Coupon Books from now until December 21. These coupons will allow students to have special dress down days on January 8, 22, 29, and February 5, 12, and 26. The cost for the booklet is $20. Coupon books will be sent home on December 14 or 21 in a sealed envelope once payment has been received. Orders can be placed online with a credit card using the coupon book order form. Those wishing to pay with cash or checks can email Mrs. Chippendale.
There will be a dress-down day on Thursday, December 7 to raise funds for our school-wide Christmas party on December 18. The cost will be $5. All dress-down day rules apply.
Friday, December 8 is the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception. Students will walk up to Holy Name Church to celebrate Mass. Permission slips signed at the start of the school year provide permission for students to walk up to the church.
During the school day, we organize recess and playground time by grade level to ensure that our younger (and smaller) students are not injured while our older students are playing. After school, we are unable to provide supervision and ensure the safety of students from various grades playing together on the playground equipment. Due to this, we will close the playground after school during pick-up. Students are not permitted to enter the playground area during this time.
