The Weekly Update #4

As we stand on the threshold of a new school year, I am filled with a sense of excitement and anticipation for all that lies ahead. The first day of school is always a special time—a fresh start, a new chapter, and an opportunity for our community to come together once again.

Over the past few weeks, our dedicated teachers and staff have been hard at work preparing their classrooms, planning lessons, and setting the stage for an engaging and enriching year. We’ve also made some exciting updates to our campus and programs, all with the goal of enhancing the learning experience for our students.

This year, we will continue to build on the strong foundation we’ve established in academics, faith, and community. We are committed to fostering an environment where every student feels welcomed, valued, and challenged to reach their full potential.

As we embark on this new journey together, I encourage all of our families to get involved, whether through our parent organizations, volunteering, or simply staying connected with your child’s progress. Your support is invaluable and makes a significant impact on our school community.

I look forward to seeing our Chargers fill the hallways with their energy and enthusiasm. Let’s make this year one of growth, joy, and success for all.

Welcome back, and here’s to a wonderful school year ahead!

Warm regards,

Dr. Gonzalez

In collaboration with our pastor, Fr. Raymond, we have decided to implement a new procedure that will ensure the safety of all our students. This year, we will be using only one gate for both drop-off and pick-up. Please see the map and detailed instructions on the new procedure below. We ask that you review them carefully and follow the guidelines to help us maintain a smooth and safe process for everyone. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to the school office.

This is a friendly reminder that monthly payments for tuition via FACTS will begin on August 1. Please ensure that your payment setup is complete to avoid any disruptions. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
