Hello St. Eugene families,

For Monday morning: Please make sure you have turned in your PCTC award letter as I requested in my email last week so Mrs. Metz can make necessary tuition adjustments in FACTs. That letter should list the “Approved Amount,” “Installment Amount” and “Remaining Amount” if your award is for Spring 2024 and Fall 2024 at CSSE. Mrs. Metz deserves so much appreciation for the next-level job she has done as Tuition Director. Her workload has grown exponentially since the implementation of the PCTC, and she has taken on all the extra duties with grace. Thank you, Mrs. Metz!

At CSSE, our goal is to create balanced and successful communities of learners. Our classroom teachers and administration carefully work as a team to prepare class lists for the next school year using certain criteria. A well-balanced class allows the students and teachers to perform at their best. While most students can be successful in any classroom, parents wishing to provide additional input for next year regarding their current PreK-5th student may fill out the linked information form and return it to the office by May 23, 2024 through the mail, or email to principal@steugeneschool.org with subject “Placement Input.” Please note that specific teacher requests are not accepted. This is NOT required for all students.

Next Thursday we will celebrate ALL May birthdays after mass. The following week will be June birthdays, then July birthdays at our final school mass for the school year.

We are looking forward to finishing strong this school year. Please visit with your child each day about how they can be the best version of themselves each and every day to finish the school year!

Faith Forward,

Mrs. Goldsworthy

The staff at St. Eugene are one in a million! Help us show our appreciation for all the ways they care for our kids during Teacher Appreciation Week, May 6-10. See the graphic below for some suggestions on how to celebrate! View teacher wish lists and favorites at www.steugeneschool.org/wishlists

Last week at school mass, Fr. Jim gave the 4th grade class $50 to perform one more service learning project before the end of the school year. The class voted, and will be collecting monetary donations and gently used sports equipment donations for Cleats for Kids. Please drop off all donations to the 4th grade classrooms by Monday, May 6th.

All school library books are due on Friday, May 10. Please make sure all fines for overdues and lost books are turned in this coming week. After May 13th, fines and fees will be billed through FACTS. If you have any questions, contact Mrs. Hattaway. Students are welcome to come check the shelves if they think they turned in a book that has been marked as overdue/lost.

There have been a lot of emails bounced back regarding late books. Please make sure to add media@steugeneschool.org to your list of email contacts.

Our Lost and Found is full again. Missing an item? Please have your student check the rack by the gym by Tuesday of next week. After the PTO meeting/Fine Arts Night, everything left in Lost & Found will be cleared, washed, and donated.

PTO General Meeting PTO will hold a general meeting Tuesday, May 7th at 6pm in Ross Hall. Come meet your officers, and find out what PTO has to offer. Stay for Fine Arts Night afterward (should start around 6:30pm)
