Thank you to our honorees Eillane & Jon Lim, Deborah & Romeo Perez, and Judyann Price & Michael Boccadoro!

They are an inspiration to all of us.

D.E.A.R. SVS students,

It's time to Drop Everything And Read!

In honor of Nevada Reading Week 2024, St. Viator School will embark in a community wide shared reading event entitled: “One School, One Book.” Every student will receive a copy of the same book and students will read it together at school and at home over the next few weeks. We are inviting all families to make the time to participate in this special activity. Everyone—students, parents, teachers, and administration -- will be reading/listening to the story together. Your child will be introduced to the program and will receive a copy of the book at the Prayer and Flag "One School, One Book Reveal Assembly", on Monday, March 4th at 8:05 a.m. Along with the book, students will receive a reading schedule so that families can join the fun! Students may be asked to read or reread about 5-15 minutes each night. Parents, we are asking for a book donation of $5 per book, to help the school cover the cost of the program. Please send in $5 if you are able to sponsor the cost of your child's book.

Nevada Reading Week is from March 4th to March 8th! For more than forty years the Nevada Department of Education has promoted a statewide initiative for Nevada teachers and librarians to celebrate reading through shared thematic activities. Activities often include book studies, author studies, literary readings by renowned authors, book fairs, and family literacy events.

The Nevada Reading Week theme for 2023-2024 is "Embrace the Magic of Reading." Please see flyer below for more information about each day.

EANS II dollars at work! Our school has ordered Interactive White Boards called Vibe Boards. These are 75 inch screens that are an all in one smart board which seamlessly connects with curriculum and allows students and teachers to maximize learning potential. We started with three boards in grades 2B, 8A, and in the Technology Lab. We look forward to every classroom in grades K-8 receiving their board just after Spring Break! Our teachers will have an opportunity to learn more about them and will begin using them with students! Below are a few pictures of students in a variety of grades sampling the magic of these boards!

St. Viator students in grades 6-8 participated in the All Catholic Schools Forensics competition on Wednesday. We are so proud of our student performers! Every one of our students placed and we earned 1st place as a school. We are grateful to our Forensics Moderators Mrs. Angela Sligar and Ms. Maddie Thurlow! Their dedication to their students is appreciated and our student performances surely benefited as a result! Congratulations to all of our performers!

All are welcome on Monday, March 4th at 3:00 PM in the gym to watch all Forensic participants perform their piece.

A big THANK you to all that donated items to Project 150!!!! We were able to deliver much needed food and hygiene products for the teens.

7A Campus ministry went out this morning into our community to help homeless and disadvantaged high school students today. They not only cleaned the store, but re-stocked, sorted donations and created hygiene bags. Our students are making a difference. https://www.project150.org

Support Student Government and bring in $2 for a St. Patrick's Day Gram. (Collection will be done in the classroom.). This is different from candy grams. Students only need to bring in $2 for themselves if they wish to participate.

Sales have begun and will continue until March 7th (or until supplies last).

We are asking if our Viator families could bring in a dessert for the bake sale table at the fish fry on the scheduled day. Please drop off at the office the morning of or right after school.

All families should have received their re-registration paperwork for the 2024-2025 school year in early February. RE-REGISTRATION FORMS WERE DUE BY FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 2024. If your family plans to come back to St. Viator next year, and you have not notified the school, please notify the school immediately as student seats are not guaranteed. There are applications from new families arriving and Dr. Kiss would like to plan for all of our current families who wish to remain at our school.

We are currently taking and setting up testing appointments for siblings of current students entering grades Pre-K through 7th grade. If you are a current SVS parent with another child who you would like to have begin as a St. Viator student in the 24-25 school year, your child will need to be tested. Please contact the school office at 702-732-4477 to set up a testing appointment for that child.

All school accounts including tuition, club, extended care, scrip fees, graduation fees must be brought current prior to reregistration for the 24-25 school year and before report card distribution on Friday, February 23rd. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Mrs. Alex at ralex@stviator.org or Dr. Kiss at kkiss@stviator.org.

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.

DO NOT

1. Mail in your envelopes to St. Viator church. These will not be counted.
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.
