Mark your calendars as our Spring session Parent-Teacher Conferences are coming up! This semester please make note that we will have conferences on Tuesday, March 5th from 2-6:30 p.m. and again on Thursday, March 7th.from 2-5:30 p.m. More information will be going out to families soon.
We will have a 1:30 p.m. dismissal on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday the week of conferences. Circle of Care will be available from 1:30-5:30 p.m.
Because of the three snow days, we will now use Presidents' Day on Feb. 19 as a snow make-up day. Please plan accordingly to have your student attend school as usual on Monday, Feb. 19. Going forward, if we have a late start on a Wednesday, we will extend the school day until 3:20 p.m., instead of an early dismissal at 1:30 p.m. If your student has an appointment that afternoon, you are welcome to sign them out as needed.

Free Dental Care Event for Children
Black Hawk County Public Health’s I-SmileTM Program is partnering with Kimball and Beecher
Family Dentistry to provide free dental care to children in need on Friday, February 23.
Appointments will be scheduled from 8 am – 2:00 pm at the 4015 Hurst Drive, Waterloo
location.
The Give Kids a Smile in the Cedar Valley Day provides free dental services to children ages
1-13. Services include oral exams, x-rays, preventive care such as cleaning, fluoride, and
sealants; as well as restorative care such as fillings. Children must be registered in advance,
and parental permission received, to receive services.
This event is designed to meet the increasing need of families who are unable to find a dental
provider who accepts Iowa Medicaid or will provide services when there is a lack of insurance or
transportation resources.
If transportation to the event is an issue, Medicaid patients are advised to contact the member
service phone number on the back of the Iowa Medicaid card to schedule a ride. Scheduling
must be done at least three days prior to your appointment day.
To sign up for the Give Kids a Smile in the Cedar Valley Day call Kimball and Beecher Family
Dentistry at 319-235-6287 to schedule an appointment.
The Black Hawk County I-SmileTM Program provides oral health screenings in the school and
clinic settings, along with navigation to dental, medical, and community resources in Black Hawk
and surrounding counties. If you have questions about the I-SmileTM Program call 319-292-2284
or visit the Black Hawk County Public Health website.
Brochures to nominate a deserving St Patrick Catholic School teacher for the 2024 GOLD STAR AWARD
FOR OUTSTANDING TEACHING have been sent home. Please take time to nominate at least one of our very deserving teachers. You can nominate your favorite teachers online here. Nominations are due by Monday, February 20th.
Education Savings Accounts, ESAs, have given parents a choice in their child's education. Catholic education is becoming more affordable for families. For more than 35% of families, the Our Faith Student Tuition Organization, or STO, is the first piece of financial assistance income qualified families rely on. Even with the ESA's this year, more than 3100 students in the Archdiocese of Dubuque received more than $5.5 million in tuition assistance from the STO. Iowa taxpayers that donate to the STO receive a 75% Iowa tax credit, or 75 cents back for every dollar you contribute on your Iowa tax return. The 75% STO tax credit is the only tax credit of its kind, and it reduces the amount of taxes you pay to the state of Iowa at tax time. If you want to learn more about how to turn your taxes into tuition, watch this video, call the school office or go to OurFaithSTO.org.
