Family Messenger May 12, 2009

Heavenly Father,
You give us so many gifts!
May we be open to this gift of peace
That Christ offers to us.
May we let it grow in our hearts and share it with the world.
Grant this through the same Prince of Peace.
Amen.


A Message from the Principal

Keeping your children safe is our top priority, and we can only ensure their safety when there is appropriate supervision. For this reason, students may not be dropped off on campus before 7:00 a.m. Mr. Lopez, our custodian, is generally on campus before 7:00. However, he has other duties to attend to and cannot provide supervision for the students. Therefore, gates to the campus remain locked until Ms. Castillo arrives for morning care at 7:00 a.m. For your child’s safety, please do not drop off your children on school or church grounds before 7:00 a.m.

During school hours, the black gate facing the church parking lot remains closed and locked. All visitors to campus must check in at the school office, no matter how brief the visit. Please do not ask anyone doing yard supervision to unlock the gates for you as they are not permitted to do so. Thank you for helping us keep our campus safe.

A blessed week to you!

Ms. Olivia Carrillo
