God, our Creator,
You want your children to live in harmony.
Re-create us in your saving love.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
A Message from the Principal
Thank you to all parents who attended last night’s meeting with Dr. Baxter. For those who were unable to attend, Dr. Baxter clarified that the extension of the school year is not a mandate for schools. As previously stated, Incarnation will not be adding any additional days to the 2011-2012 school calendar. Before any decisions are made for the 2012-2013 school year, we will gather input from our school community stakeholders to determine what is best for our students.
Yesterday we approved an order for an additional 8 Smart Boards to be installed in the remaining classrooms (kindergarten – 6th and 8th). The total cost of the additional boards, installation, and teacher training is $38,143. This equipment is being purchased entirely with Scrip funds. Once again, thank you for your continued support of this program! We especially thank our Scrip Coordinator, Jennifer Bunt, for her dedication to growing our Scrip program to bring technology to the classrooms.
Ms. Olivia Carrillo
Principal

Catholic Education Foundation Tuition Awards
The Catholic Education Foundation (CEF) offers tuition assistance to elementary school students and their families each year. In previous years, the CEF has posted income guidelines to determine eligibility for assistance. This year, the CEF is not posting income guidelines and is encouraging any family in need of assistance to apply. If you would like to obtain a CEF application, please contact Mrs. Fenton in the business office. All applications and supporting documents must be received by the school no later than Monday, March 21, 2010 for processing.
