St. Petronille Catholic School
A Note from Mr. Schmidt
The HVAC summer project is wrapped up, the classrooms are decorated, the teachers have endured their before-school-meetings with their pestering Principal, school supplies have been picked up, our new families have been welcomed and oriented, and we are READY for a new school year!
We are so excited to kick off the 24-25 school year with all of you this weekend at our Blessing of the Backpacks mass at 11:30 AM on Sunday followed by our Open House until 2:00 PM. It is a wonderful opportunity to meet your child's teacher, see the school, and drop off supplies in your classroom to be ready for the first day!
The curtain is officially up for the new year on Tuesday morning when we welcome our 1st-8th grade students outside in the parking lot on their first day! Please see the instructions linked below for our Day 1 procedures and please reach out with any questions.
Please see our news and notes below for several other pieces of important information to know ahead of the new year! See you Sunday!
God bless,
Eric Schmidt
Principal
