Dear Parents:
 

Welcome to the new school year 2010 – 2011!  An entire summer has passed and the Lord has prepared all the graces, people and resources our wonderful Corpus Christi – Holy Rosary School community needs for a year of holiness, growth and learning.

A very special “WELCOME” to our new families who will be part of the CCHRS family!  We trust you will find a special place of faith, learning, and fun for your children and support for you as parents.   Here we strive to live in the Family Spirit inspired by the educational genius of St. John Bosco.  With his prayer and the ever present guidance of Mary Help of Christians, we will continue together the work of the Catholic formation of our children.

Perhaps there are many anxious hearts out there and many questions as September rolls around.  Please feel free to call us anytime.  In the meantime, you may look at the website and click on the calendar link for information or look below for helpful information.

We are pleased to announce, that due to the demand for our CCHRS Kindergarten,

a second section of Kindergarten is now open!  Ms. Diaz will be teaching Kindergarten in the adjoining classroom to Ms. Aiello’s Kindergarten.  If you know anyone who has a child entering Kindergarten, invite them in for a tour!

On a sad note, I must tell you that just this week Sr. Eileen received a call from our Provincial, Sr. Phyllis, asking her to take an assignment in Rockford, Illinois, effective as soon as possible.  We have been blessed by Sr. Eileen’s presence, her joyful energy and love for the children.  She will be sorely missed!

In the days ahead there will be more introductions and we thank God for the presence of everyone who will be part of our school family during the coming year!

Uniforms:  Apologies for those of you who are still hassling with uniform issues.  Errors and misfits should have been returned to Flynn and O’Hara.   Please do not worry if you are waiting for a uniform piece to arrive at your home.  If for some reason you have not sent back problem uniforms, please do so immediately.  Help us have everyone in complete uniform no later than September 24th

Emblems:  You will be able to get sew-able emblems for jumpers here in the office in the near future.  We’ll notify you as soon as they are in.

The first days of school will have a load of paperwork.  We thank you for your patience in completing some tedious but very important forms for us.  The information on these forms are either required by policy or essential for our school to participate in various government programs which provide funds for your child’s learning.

Lunch Form :    

Please fill it out whether you will take lunch or not.  This is one of the forms which determine our eligibility for certain learning programs and materials.
 

Media Release:    

Please sign if you will permit us to take and show-off your child’s picture in brochures, fliers, newspapers, etc.

Acknowledgment

 

Please sign these acknowledging your receipt of these two documents which will be in your child’s bag on the first day of school.

We eagerly look forward to seeing your children next week!  May Our Lady bless them, you and the remaining summer days with joy and peace!

God bless you! 

Sincerely,
Sr. Karen Dunn, FMA
Principal
