MAY CROWNING

The queen symbol was attributed to Mary because she was a perfect follower of Christ, who is the absolute ‘crown’ of creation.

Let us be sure to honor our Blessed Mother in our hearts and our homes. The recitation of the family rosary each day, images of our Blessed Mother, having a special shrine in your yard, and having your own family May Crowning are wonderful ways not only to foster devotion and faith, but also to draw us closer to the heart of Our Savior.

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR 2024 MAY CROWNING COURT

Crowner: Alaina S.

Pillow Carrier: Keiralin M.

Grades Pre-K to 8th

(Dress Uniform Required)

On Friday, April 20, second grade students gathered in the cafeteria to each make their own unique rosary for First Communion with the help of one invited adult. It was awesome to see 80 of us come together for this. To make it even more special, Father Bill came to pray over us and bless our materials. Thank you Father Bill and everyone who helped make this happen. The students have a forever keepsake from SVS to remind them of this sacrament. ~Mrs. Sherry Vena

On Saturday, April 20th, our very own Phoebe T. (3rd Grade) competed in the 2024 Nevada State Girls Scholastic Chess Championship. This tournament was held at The Tahoe School in Incline Village, Nevada. This is the first time the Nevada State Girls Championship is held in the northern part of our state. The tournament was open to all girls in K-12. Out of 21 players, Phoebe won 3rd place overall and was awarded Top Score for K-3.

Congratulations Phoebe!

Our 6th graders spent a week in Pali Science Camp and are almost back to campus! Our 7th and 8th graders returned from their week in Washington DC late Thursday night. Below are group pictures of our 6th grade at Pali and 7th and 8th in Washington DC. We look forward to sharing more images of their incredible week of learning!

Water Balloons Needed for Field Day!!!

400 – 500 "filled” water balloons are needed for the day, and the size of each "filled” balloon should be about 8 – 10“ (balloon should fit in palm of hand).

Drop off of these “filled” water balloons will be at the EAST GATE on Friday morning before the school day begins, earlier the better (NO LATER THAN 7:30 AM) and volunteers helping get them onto the campus will be needed.

Ice Chests with the “filled” balloons works best.

Families please “label” your ICE Chests (we will return them to you).

Dr. Kiss and Mr. Mertzman are involved in all discussions about classroom placement with teachers. We anticipate using the following info to determine student placement: class dynamic, student academic and behavioral need, student/teacher compatibility, student/student compatibility, groupings for pull-out intervention, Micah presence.

Parents please know that teachers do not split classes, this is an administrative decision and that there is not a way to request a certain class or teacher for the next year. Please email Dr. Kiss and Mr. Mertzman with any questions or concerns.

As we wind down the school year, all fees should have been paid including Scrip or the Scrip Buyout. The final tuition payment was due on April 15th. Registrations are now open to the public. Please be sure you have reregistered your child(ren). If you have any questions, please contact Renee Alex at ralex@stviator.org.

We have noticed students being dropped off and left unattended prior to 7:35. If students arrive to school before 7:30am, students need to utilize Morning Care. Any student found outside unattended will be checked into Morning Care and charged accordingly.

Parents and students we need your cooperation as we remind families to walk safely as they exit the school. There is to be no running down the sidewalk or along the dirt. Parents please make your children walk with you and do not let them run. Our goal is to keep all of our students safe!

The Staff Parking Lot off Eastern Ave is assigned for staff parking, assigned foundation parking, handicapped parking, and school visitor parking only!! This lot is not for student drop off and/or pick up. Parents and Visitors are STILL parking in Foundation Spots. We have resorted to placing cones in those spots to keep these spaces reserved for the intended families. The Foundation spaces are purchased annually and no one else is able to park in these spaces for any reason. This includes: dropping off a student, dropping off a lunch, picking up a sick student from the office, or any other reason.

The Staff Parking Lot off Eastern Ave is assigned for staff parking, assigned foundation parking, handicapped parking, and school visitor parking only!! This lot is not for student drop off and/or pick up. Please do not use this lot because it is closer, or that you do not want to use the loop, or that you do not want to use the church lot. We have had numerous traffic jams due to people using this lot when they should not be. We are also receiving complaints from those individuals who are authorized to use those spots as well as delivery drivers who are authorized to use the loading zone.

The most significant criteria to qualify for the Viator Parish rate is regular attendance at Sunday Mass using your envelopes.

In order to qualify for the Viator rate you MUST:

1. Attend a minimum of 26 masses (Saturday or Sunday)
2. Use the envelopes sent to you from the church
3. Forgot your envelope? Remember your parish number and use a blank envelope provided at mass.

2. Drop off your envelope in the church on a school mass day.
3. Forgetting the envelope and telling the church or school you went.

Tuition review will happen end of November and you should have 13 or more masses by this time. All rates will be reviewed and possibly adjusted after the assessment. If your rate is adjusted it will be reflected on the December statement. Please DO NOT call or email the school office or church office to ask if changes are being made until after the receipt of your statement.

Remember, parents are a model of faith for their children and when families join us on a regular basis they are showing their children the priority faith and church has in their lives.
