Dear Parents,
Thank you for a fantastic
school year! The students did a super job. I hope everyone
enjoys his/her summer break. Rest, relax, and
read are my recommendations for the summer. Set aside a
time each day for your child to read and practice his/her math
facts. Thirty minutes a day will help ensure that your child
does not lose information learned during this school year.
ISTEP testing will be in September 2008 and will cover the
material taught during the 2007-2008 school year. Remember to
have fun, but to listen and follow God’s voice when He speaks to
you.
Please note an important change
on the school calendar. The Catholic Schools Office has changed
the second semester teacher in-service date from February to
March 13, 2009. Another calendar will be sent home in early
August with more information regarding the beginning of next
school year.
Enclosed in this final
communication are several important papers. Please refer to the
uniform code for next year while shopping. Please note that
there are some minor changes in the code. My suggestion is when
in doubt-don’t buy. It is less stressful to just say no and
look for clothes that you know follow the code. School supply
lists are also enclosed. Pick up your school supplies in August
when they go on sale. You can stock up for the whole year at
inexpensive prices. Be sure to get your child’s physical exams
and shots before school starts on August 18, 2008. Remember CYO
requires exams before students can practice or play. Indiana
laws require pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, and sixth grade
students to have up-to-date immunization records on file at
school.
Please remember to turn into
the office all-important custodial papers and
medical information. The office needs to keep these
items in your child’s file. If you have any special notes for
the school about your child such as who has permission to pick
them up, please send them in at the beginning of the school year
in August.
Communication between home and
school is essential. Please take note of all newsletters coming
home. At the beginning of every month the office sends home an
envelope with information for that month. Look over the
enclosed information and return the envelope signed, so that the
office knows your family received the information.
Thank you again for making St.
John the Baptist School a super place to be. May God keep your
family safe during the summer break, and I’ll see everyone in
August.
Sincerely,
Janice L. Comito
