Dear Cardinal Families,
We are so excited to welcome our students back to campus on Monday, August 10, for Meet-the-Teacher. Our doors will open at 12:00 p.m., and our teachers are ready to welcome parents and students into their classrooms! Here are a few things to know:
-
Start out front of the main building for a photo opportunity!
-
Visit your child's classroom(s) and meet your teacher(s).
-
Stop by our Refectory (gym/cafeteria) for our Information Fair! We will have tables featuring school swag, spirit wear, instructors from all of our after-school clubs and activities, events and sponsorship opportunities, uniforms, and much more.
Medication check-in with Nurse Nunley will take place Tuesday morning, August 11th, the first day of school. You are welcome to walk your child into the building on Tuesday and then visit Mrs. Nunley's table in the lobby to check in any EpiPens, prescription medications, or over-the-counter medications.
In other news, the bus route looks different this year, and the times have changed since we originally announced that St. Joe would be taking over transportation. Please review the graphic in this newsletter for the most up-to-date information.
We also have some exciting changes coming to our athletics program for students in 3rd through 6th grade, beginning with the appointment of our new Jr. Bruins Athletic Director, Sam Vincent, head football coach at St. Joseph Catholic School. We are thrilled to begin this new chapter as we strengthen our partnership with St. Joe and create outstanding athletic experiences for our student-athletes. Together, we are committed to fostering excellence both on the field and in the classroom while living out the values of faith, sportsmanship, and teamwork.
For more information about our athletics program for students in 3rd through 6th grade, visit our new athletics webpage.
See you on Monday—we can't wait to welcome everyone home to Saint Richard!
It's a great day to be a Cardinal.
—Russ Nelson, Principal
