Principal’s Message
Dear SPC Families,
As we enter the holiday season, our hearts are filled with gratitude and anticipation for the birth of our Savior. This special time invites us to pause, give thanks, and reflect on the many blessings we share as a faith-filled community. We pray that God anchors you in faith and provides you and your family with moments to encounter Christ in meaningful and joyful ways throughout the coming weeks.
Thank you to all who joined us for our first Coffee with the Principal this week to learn more about the many programs, traditions, and activities rooted in our Catholic Identity. Our discussion was both informative and inspiring, and I left feeling deeply grateful and reassured knowing we have so many faith-filled families who are committed to and make sacrifices for the gift of Catholic education at SPC. I am scheduling our next Coffee with the Principal on Wednesday, December 17, 2025, from 8:00 am to 9:00 am. Our topic will be inclusion, academic support, enrichment, and social-emotional learning. Our special guest will be Mrs. Ronda Quinn, Inclusion Coordinator, and members of her scaffolding team. We have 10 support staff members who work in the areas of student academic, social, and emotional support. Please consider joining us; we have a lot of information to share. We will email parents additional information and an RSVP soon.
I will be honoring my promise to work from the roof as an incentive for the Fun Run next Friday, November 21st. I will be easily recognizable in my Turkey costume!
Reminders:
- As we approach the holidays, we understand that some families may plan to leave early for vacation. Please note that teachers are not required to provide homework or class assignments in advance of a planned absence. Any missed work will be made available to students upon their return to school. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us maintain consistency in classroom instruction. Parents should notify the principal and students’ teachers via email if they intend to be off school on a planned leave.
- This Sunday, November 16th, our Family Mass will be facilitated by grades 5 & 6 in the Holy Family Chapel at 10:30 am. All are welcome!!
- On Tuesday, November 18th, we will be hosting an “Open” Board meeting. Nurse Kari will be presenting on identifying and minimizing health concerns in our school. The meeting will take place in Duffin Hall at 7:30 pm.
- November 24-28 Thanksgiving Break
- Friday, November 21st, is the final day of the first term.
Have an Awesome Week!
