1. Dress passes: There are times throughout the year when the children receive dress passes. This means that the child may come to school dressed in play clothes. The dress pass needs to be placed in the homework folder on the day that it is used. Parents choose the day. 2. School closings/delayed openings:Our school does not have a specific number. Announcements that pertain to our school are included in the statement "All Archdiocesan schools are open/closed." Sometimes the word 'parochial ' is used instead of 'Archdiocesan'. Please do not call the school, convent, or rectory to find out if schools are closed. The school administration and staff do not receive advance notice. Information may be heard on KYW News radio or found on www.kyw1060.com. 3. The girls amy wear their gym pants under the uniform on cold days. The children may not wear boots in the classroom. The children are asked to place their shoes in their schoolbags so that they may change out of their wet boots once inside the classroom. 4. Absence notes: Please send place a note into your child's homework folder indicating the date and reason for absence after your child returns to school. It is very important for the teacher to have an accurate attendance record for each student. ****School will be open on Tuesday, Dec. 22.
