St. Nicholas School News

Now that the school year is well underway we would like to express our appreciation for your patience and cooperation in helping us deal with the many challenges that we have faced and will continue to tackle as we progress on our learning journey in the months to come.

September & October were busy months with students getting back into the swing of classes, the start of many exciting activities and student events.

As always we look forward to your input and suggestions regarding improving the education of your children. It is important to establish cordial working relationships with staff and share with them your insights about how your child learns best, helping them to be successful in the teaching learning process. If you have any questions or concerns please drop by the school or call me.

Please join us at the School or Online at 6 pm

Please join us as we gather in our gym (12:30-1:00 PM) for a Halloween Parade. We ask all parents when they come to please find a spot against our gym walls. All the students will be gathered in the gym middle. We will then parade our costumes around the gym a homeroom class at a time. Please, nothing demonic or violent. Stuck for an idea? Why not try a favorite saint or someone else in history who made a positive contribution. The students will then return to their classes and begin their afternoon activities. Hope to see everyone at the parade.
