Cheetah Chatter
August 8th, 2023
“Where faith soars, minds excel, and futures ignite”
The first week back has been absolutely fantastic! It was a delight to see all the familiar faces and welcome many new ones as well. These initial weeks are all about getting settled back into the school routine and fostering a sense of community among all of us.
Please take some time to go through the entire Cheetah Chatter as there are important updates regarding uniforms, Middle School pick up, and other essential information. A notable observation is that several boys have been wearing sneakers. Unless a doctor's note is provided to me and Nurse Missy, those in sneakers will be subject to dress code violations starting 9/3.
Don't forget that tomorrow will be a Noon dismissal, with all students expected to be picked up by 12:15. Additionally, please remember that lunch will not be served on early dismissal days. Our next Noon dismissal is scheduled for Friday, September 27th, in honor of the feast day of St. Michael.
Wishing everyone a peaceful and joyful long weekend, and looking forward to seeing everyone back for week two on Tuesday!
Yours in Christ,
Matt Zipp
