Dear Parents and Students - You’re back! I hope you are all well! Our students, faculty, and staff have had a positive start to the new school year. We have really enjoyed having everyone back together again this year. The first three days of school have been fast and furious, but positive! Everyone has been reviewing procedures, adjusting to new teachers and expectations, and by now are beginning to feel a little more comfortable as we head into the weekend.
Have a little rest, some fun, attend Mass, and return to us on Monday ready for our first full week of school! Thank you for choosing our school for your children! Sincerely - Rob S.
St. Charles Borromeo School is hiring off-duty Law Enforcement Officers, part time, during the school day. On these first three days of school, you may have noticed a Police Officer observing dismissal in our large Church parking lot. In light of the continued string of school tragedies over the past 25 years, we have begun the procedure of having a police presence, at various times throughout the school day. We are now actively hiring for daily coverage of shifts through December. If you are a law enforcement officer, and would be interested in finding out more about signing up for a shift(s) in the months to come, please contact the school office and I will answer questions and send you more detailed information. Thank you. -Rob Sordelet, Principal

HASA/BACK-TO-SCHOOL NIGHT, TUESDAY, AUGUST 16th, 7:00 PM IN CHURCH! ALL PARENTS SHOULD ATTEND! :)
Our HASA/Back-to-School Night will be held in the Church this year. This is a night for parents. We ask that, if possible, the children not attend, as this is more of an informational format geared towards adults/parents. I realize that leaving the children at home may not be possible for some families, in which case, of course you are welcome to bring the little ones. At 7:00 p.m., all parents are asked to come to the Church where our Pastor, Father Tom Shoemaker and I will welcome you. Our agenda will then move forward with school-related business. When the program is finished, all parents will go to their children's rooms. Junior high parents are invited to stay in the Church for a brief presentation from the junior high teachers.
As parents of students in grades Pre-K, K and 1 have already had a parent orientation night, they will not need to visit the classrooms after the program. However, after the program in the Church, our PreK, K, and 1st grade parents are welcome to check out the various groups who have displays in the cafeteria (Scouts, SCRIP, HASA, CardinalFest, Borromeo Bash, Girls on the Run, etc.). All teachers, grades 2-8, will open their classrooms for parent visitation. We will have three (10 minute) sessions of visitation with a five-minute passing period between the three sessions. Our resource teachers, and those who teach music, art, computers, physical education, and Spanish, will also be available for visits. Mrs. O’Rourke, our librarian, will also be available in the library. Mrs. McGraw, our tech coordinator will be available in her office near the cafeteria. The evening should be over by 8:45 p.m. Please realize you are all members of HASA, so we hope to see you there.
Every year, I am thankful for the extent of good work that our HASA accomplishes. Here is a partial list of the good work in which HASA is involved: *Coordinating Volunteers Each Year *Student & Teacher Recognition & Awards *Spirit Shop *Father Daughter Dance *Playground Equipment & Maintenance *Catholic Schools’ Week Activities *Tuition Assistance *Marketing & Enrollment Activities *Turkey Bingo *Student Field Trips * And more! Thank you Home And School Association! We are proud of all that you do for us!
After we meet in Church on Tuesday evening, there will be dress down sign-up sheets available in the cafeteria for parents to initialize. If parents attend the meeting, then their children will be allowed to “dress down” on Wednesday, August 17th. Students of grades Pre-K, Kindergarten, and 1st grade may also automatically have a dress down day on Wednesday, August 17th, as their parents already attended orientation on August 8th. I look forward to seeing everyone in Church on Tuesday. -Rob S.
