Changes to School Mass
Closed school masses will now be held twice a week starting next week. Fr. Wolf graciously offered a second mass to accommodate our two mass groups so that all 1st - 8th graders can experience mass weekly.
8:15 am Thursday mass - 5th - 8th grades (in dress uniform)
8:15 am Friday mass - 1st - 4th grades (in dress uniform)
The day your students attends mass in the church will be the day they should wear their school dress uniform.
Parent/Curriculum Night - All School Follow Up
By now all families should have received their student(s)’ classroom guide and curriculum and had the opportunity to visit with teachers via Zoom. Mrs. Goldsworthy will be sending out all school information and a parent checklist as the alternative to her usual speech at Curriculum Night. Please read through her letter and follow all steps on the Parent Checklist.

School News On Repeat
My Child is Ill. What Do I Do? Allergies or COVID? Stomach bug or COVID? It can be hard to decipher what ailment might be affecting your child. We have created some graphics and flowcharts to help you navigate what steps to take when your child or someone in your household is feeling unwell. Please report concerns or questions about illness to Mrs. Goldsworthy at illness-report@steugeneschool.org, and she will consult with our response team - Mrs. O'Connell and Mrs. Rischard. ALWAYS fill out and submit the Absentee Form (or call Ms. Patrick in the office), then notify your child’s homeroom/house teacher each day of absence.
Absences Please use the Absentee Form to report absences AND email your child’s teacher/house homeroom. It is important to communicate why your child is missing school with the teacher and document through the Google form. Please be meticulous in following directions if a child, household member, or close contact has recently tested positive for COVID or is awaiting results of a COVID test. NO ONE IN THE HOUSEHOLD MAY ENTER THE SCHOOL BUILDING if COVID exposure is positive OR in question. Mrs. Goldsworthy MUST clear your household for return to school in all cases where the possibility of COVID is involved. Please use illness-report@steugeneschool.org for correspondence regarding illness updates to Mrs. Goldsworthy.
Screening Questions and Carpool Please remember to have your questions answered DAILY and results ready to show on your phone. Students should be masked, on the passenger side for temp checks, and ready to go as soon as carpool teacher opens the door. bit.ly/FamilyDailyQs
Spirit Tee Tuesday is EVERY Tuesday! - Students may wear their regular uniform or a St. Eugene spirit tee with jeans or uniform bottoms. Don't forget ALL students dismiss at 2pm EVERY Tuesday!
Please Pray For...
Please pray for Mrs. Hackett's stepfather who passed away this week. May his family find comfort, and may he rest in peace. | Pray for all those who have been affected by Covid-19, whether by sickness, loss of job, isolation, or loneliness, etc. May all find strength, comfort and healing in this difficult time. | Pray for our staff who have been putting in many extra hours to prepare for the upcoming school year. Please pray for students and their families. May God grant us all patience and wisdom as we navigate a very different school year. Help us put our faith first and give grace to all.
