It is lice season! In order to prevent the spread of lice, please check your child's hair carefully! If you see any lice or eggs, please treat it immediately! Remind your child not to share hats, clothing or brushes with other students. If your child does get lice, please be sure to inform administration so we can ensure the proper procedures are followed at school. It is a good idea for girls to wear their hair up and/or in braids during this lice season. Also, it is helpful to put product in your child's hair each morning. Thank you for your help in preventing the spread of lice at the school!

Report cards will be sent home via email tomorrow Tuesday, March 19. We are officially in the last quarter of the school year! Let's finish strong, Blue Angels! Please note that 3rd quarter report cards will not have teacher comments unless there was a drop in grade. If you have any questions about your child's grades, please contact the teachers directly.

Summer Camp sign-up is underway! Please scroll down to see camp flyers and registration forms!

PCA uses a Virtues in Practice Program. Each month we focus on a specific virtue and different grade levels learn about a saint who exemplifies that virtue. At the end of month, there will be a family assignment to complete about the virtue. Each class will choose a Disciple of the Month based on the virtue.

March's virtue of the month is TEMPERANCE. Temperance is enjoying things in a proper, balanced way.

Saints of the Month:

grades PK-2: St. Teresa of Avila

grades 3-5: St. Camillus de Lellis

grades 6-8: Ven. Matt Talbot

If you would like more information about the Virtues in Practice Program, you can visit the website: https://www.nashvilledominican.org/apostolate/evangelization-and-catechesis/virtues-in-practice/
