Dear Parents,

I have some important and timely information in my email today. Please make sure you read the information at the beginning.

Progress Reports are Going Home Today

1st Quarter Progress Reports are going home today with your students. Please check your child’s backpack for an envelope containing the report.

No Drop Off or Pick Ups on Rusholme

·     Please do not drop students off in the morning on Rusholme Street.

·     This morning two of our buses could not pull in and unload students in a timely manner because parents were parked in the bus lane.

·     Drop offs should all go through the alley before 7:45 AM.

·     Parked cars on Rusholme along with the buses not only creates a traffic problem, but more importantly a safety concern for our students.

Spirit Wear Store is Open!

·     The Uniform and Spirit Wear Shop is opening for a short window for any families in need of dress code approved uniform sweatshirts, spirit wear and other panther gear. With the addition of extra spirit wear days in the school calendar, this is a great opportunity to stock up.

·     There have been some new designs added so make sure to take a look.

·     The shop will close on November 7^th so that all orders will arrive by December 4^th, prior to the holidays. 

·     These make great Christmas gifts! All orders will be delivered to your child’s classroom and sent home.

·     If you are ordering a surprise Christmas gift and would like your order to be delivered to the office for parent pickup, please email stpaulhomeandschool@gmail.com, or contact Megan Baird at 310-210-0348.

Parent Teacher Conferences

The partnership between parents and the school is key to a child’s success in school. Conferences are a great time to build that partnership. Please sign up for your child(ren's) conference with his/her teacher at the link below. (Please make sure you select the correct teacher).
