ImportantReminders
Option C passwords and usernames: These will be sent home this week. You can view your child’s test grades online using option.com. I will also send the tests home to be reviewed and signed as well.
Picture Day: Picture Day is October 15th. The children will need to be in their regular uniform, NO SUMMER UNIFORM, as we will be taking class pictures.
Living Rosary: Our Living Rosary will take place this Friday at 11am. All are welcome to pray with us. We are asking for the students to wear a yellow shirt with their gym shorts as we will be saying special prayers and intentions for childhood cancer.
School Mass: Our rescheduled mass is Thursday, Sept. 30th at 11:00 am. All are welcome to join us. Please use the pews on the sides of the church to leave room for students.
PTA Meeting: Our first PTA Meeting is scheduled for Wednesday night, October 6th, at 7 PM in our Hall. The topic discussed concerns a fantastic opportunity for our school. We are going to hear from Kevin Kelly of the Foundation for Catholic Education to reinvigorate our TuitionCare program. Our first opportunity to use the program was derailed by the Coronavirus Pandemic. It is now time to revisit this wonderful opportunity for us to reduce our tuition by as much as $1000 here at CTK. Each family is required to send a representative to this meeting so that we can hear the details of how we can make this program work for us. ** This is NOT a parent/teacher conference.
ELA Test: This week we will begin to test on our story Henry and Mudge. The skill and story are reviewed in school over the course of 1-2 weeks. The children will bring their ELA copybooks home to use to show you which vocabulary words, skills, and grammar lessons have been covered. You can use these to review during the week of the test. I will send you a picture on REMIND of the skills that are covered. For the first half of the year, the test will be read to the children (questions and answers). As time goes on, I will have them read their answers to themselves. This will help them become more independent test takers to prepare for third grade.
Spelling Test: After the next test, I will start to deduct points from the written sentences when a student does not have a capital letter and an end mark for their sentence.
Summer Uniform: The children are able to wear their summer uniform until the beginning of November. Basically, this is the gym shirt and shorts withe sneakers. If the weather is chilly, the children should not wear gym sweatpants unless it is Tuesday, our gym uniforms. If it is too cold for shorts, the children should wear their regular school uniform. Another uniform reminder is that the children should be wearing white or black ankle socks when wearing sneakers, not calf length or bright colored socks. Please see the school website for all uniform information.
Covering Books: Please cover your child’s workbooks and copybooks in clear contact paper if you have not done so already. It is so important to do this so the covers don’t get ruined. The Math books are in. So those two books and a handwriting copybook are the last of the books that need to be covered.
Check your child’s purple Business folder each night.
Please try to remember to sharpen pencils each night.
Regular school uniform begins on November 1st. Notice changes in our uniform on the website.
Label all clothing, backpacks, supplies, and lunch kits with your child’s name.
