Important Information
HOT LUNCH SURVEY
Thank you to the families who completed the hot lunch survey. Please click here to see a summary of the results. We will discuss at our next PEC meeting what we will do moving forward.
SAFER SCHOOLS TOGETHER (SST) SURVEY
An email was sent out today with a culture and climate survey for parents and caregivers to fill out. Please note that only one survey result is needed per family (you don’t need to complete one for each child.) Safer schools will be analyzing the student, staff and parent responses and will share the results with me in summer. I will be sure to share out the findings with you in fall. It is important for all families to complete this survey in order to give us an accurate set of data.
PASTORAL ANNOUNCEMENT
Fr. Richard Conlin has been appointed as our new pastor effective July 9. We will have an opportunity to thank Fr. Gilles for everything that he has done for us these past few months- he will be missed! A warm welcome to Fr. Richard- we had the pleasure of meeting him today and showing him around!
UNITED DAY- MULTICULTURAL DAY!
Collections will go to Holy Childhood Association and as always we will have popcorn for an extra $1. The theme is Multicultural Day! Students are invited to dress in a multicultural outfit that celebrates their culture/ ethnicity. We always love to see everyone in their special outfits, and it highlights the many beautiful cultures we have here at CCS- please encourage your child to partake and celebrate their culture!
Please note that due to the track and field meet on Wednesday, we will celebrate Multicultural Day on Thursday.
