A Note From The Principals
Welcome back to the 2024-2025 school year!
It’s fantastic to see our students back in the halls of St. Jerome School, ready to dive into a year of learning, service, leadership, and success. We’re excited to embrace this year’s theme: Learn, Serve, Lead, Succeed!
A big thank you to all the parents for their continued support and dedication. Your commitment to sending your children to St. Jerome School truly makes a difference, and we’re grateful for your partnership in fostering a thriving educational environment. Let’s make this year memorable and full of growth!
Blessings,
Mrs. Lyndsey Byrne and Mrs. Katie Coan, Co-Principals
Important Reminders
Arrival
- Students arriving by car are not permitted in the building until 7:00 a.m.
- Make sure your child is ready to leave your car before you stop. If you need to take some time with him or her, park in the parking lot and walk your child over to the school. No child is permitted to walk across the parking lot on his/her own.
- Remember when children are exiting your car, all should exit on the passenger side for safety reasons.
- AS YOU LEAVE, PLEASE PROCEED TO RIDPATH ONLY.
Dismissal
- If there will be a change in your child's dismissal procedure, please either call the office or reach out to your child's teacher by 2pm.
- Please try and limit picking your children up early. Many children are getting picked up before dismissal. Not only are the children missing out on crucial instruction time, it is also a distraction to the other children in the classroom.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding. As always, your child's safety is our top priority.
Pizza Lunch
This year, we will be partnering with Congin's Pizza on the last Friday of every month. Children will have the opportunity to purchase 1 personal pan cheese pizza with chips and a drink for $12.
We will send home the ordering sheet each month the week before. Your order will only be submitted if it is turned in with $12 cash. No late orders will be accepted.
St. Jerome After School Care
A friendly reminder that if you would like your child to attend after school care, you must complete the proper paperwork along with the $50 registration fee per family.
