Dear Parents/Guardians,

As the end of the school year draws to a close, please encourage your children to do their very best work. Even though June will soon be here, we are still learning many critical standards that the children will need to be proficient in the next school year.

Great Spirits Camp- You are strongly encouraged to register your child(ren) for this summer's Great Spirits Camp. Holy Angels School will be on of the location sites. If your child did not pass one portion of the ISTEP+ test, he/she needs to attend this camp. The camp will run from July 7th-25th. Please contact the school office for a registration paper and additional details.

2008-09 School Year- Remember that in order to re-enroll, your total tuition and AfterCare fees must be paid in full for the 2007-08 school year before May 20th. Parents must also complete a letter of intent and turn in $25 of the initial registration fee. The remaining $25 is due in May. Please call the school office if you have questions about enrollment for next year.

Teachers- Parents and guardians, I hope that you take a moment to drop by or write a note to your child(ren)'s teacher(s) before the end of the school year. They are a hard working, dedicated group.

New Families- If you know of a family whose children could benefit from a high quality, faith based education in a safe environment, please refer them to Holy Angels Catholic School!

Uniform- Please encourage your child(ren) to follow the uniform policy. In particular, be sure that shorts are walking, uniform style.

Parish's Juneteenth Event- A family Affair-- We hope that all of our families will support the Parish by attending this event, which will take place on June 13th and 14th. The event will kick off with a Fish Fry from 4:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m. This will also be an opportunity for a political candidate meet and greet session. Saturday's event will take place from 12:00 - 7:00 p.m. Watch for more details to follow!

Thanks for all that you do to support the school. We appreciate the sacrifices that you have made to enable your child(ren) to come to us.

Ms. Cynthia L. Greer

Principal
