We came together as a school community to promote understanding, kindness, and inclusion.

On Wednesday 5A took a field trip the Courthouse of The Honorable Judge Delaney to observe public defenders and prosecutors in a court of law. We learned about the Judicial Branch of our government!

The 4th Graders had a fabulous field trip to Red Rock Canyon on April 3rd. We enjoyed the Scenic Drive and hiked the Pine Creek Trail. We learned about how plants and animals adapt to their desert environment. Also, we learned about the rock formations and appreciated all of the beauty of Red Rock Canyon. It even snowed on our hike, so that was extra exciting!! After our hike, we enjoyed a picnic lunch with our friends. What a wonderful day!!!

Celebrating Black History Month with learning, exploration, and giving! Our 3rd graders became experts on African Americans' impactful contributions to U.S. History. They also explored the Hoover Dam and enjoyed the beauty of Hemenway Park, where they spotted bighorn sheep. In the spirit of Lent, they hosted a baby shower for Catholic Charities, showing the power of generosity and kindness. Great job, 3rd graders!

Thank you to Pre K Parent Mrs. Alissa Vercillo who came to play her Violin for the entire PreK during their "V Week" study. Mrs. Vercillo is the parent of PreK student Maisie in the Micah 6:8 Program.

Hi Parents and Guardians!

I am still looking for parent volunteers to help facilitate the group. If you are interested in helping out, you can leave your information in the link. The more the merrier!

We will have a parent volunteer meet your student at 7:10 AM at the East Gate. I will be waiting to take attendance near the playground. Please remember to send plenty of water for your child to drink as the weather begins to warm up. I am so excited to walk with your children.

See you soon Sole Mates!

Please join us in supporting CF Mom Jeanne Santamaria, St. Viator parent mother of these three beautiful boys. Walk with us to support Jeanne on Saturday, April 26th.

There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and too many people with CF die young. I’m walking to help change that reality.

CF is a genetic, life-shortening disease that devastates the lungs, pancreas, and other vital organs. CF makes it difficult to breathe and fight life-threatening infections, often leading to extensive lung damage and respiratory failure.

Every person born with cystic fibrosis is on a unique journey and experiences this challenging disease differently. While progress has been made, a long road lies ahead for far too many people fighting this terrible disease. We need a cure so that everyone with CF has a better chance to live a long, healthy life.

Will you help us end cystic fibrosis?

As our school continues to prepare for the WCEA accreditation visit, we are asking for parents to complete a survey while helping to assess the quality of our programs. Thus far we have received responses from 50% of our families. Here are some of the wonderful comments from our community.

• At any time, I am happy to speak on “you cannot judge a book based on its cover.” SVS has heart, has the most caring and dedicated staff (they are old school tough which I treasure but they absolutely LOVE our children), has community, has humble children that are taught to be kind. You really don’t understand the priceless value of this until you leave for a couple years and come back. I’m grateful for this perspective!

• St. Viator welcomes a variety of students with behavioral and learning challenges that may not otherwise be given the opportunity to learn in a Catholic School. They are welcomed and supported in order to not affect the learning of others. The administration at St. Viator has an open door policy and listens to their teachers. They are always willing to hear new ideas.

• Overall, I think our school does a very good job for the children. I understand that you can’t make us all happy but I know they try their best.

As we continue this process, we are hoping to hear from 75% of our families. Please complete the survey (linked below) Your participation is vital in helping us to analyze the school, its programs and impact on student learning.

We realize this WCEA survey is rather lengthy and should take approximately 10 minutes to complete. We are most grateful for your time and assisting us in this process!

Click the link https://forms.gle/UP3FxWxVeozrPWgE7 or simply fill out the form below.

We are currently taking registrations and setting up testing appointments for new students entering PreKindergarten through 8th grade. If your family has a Pre-K or K student that will be new to the school next year, please contact Mrs. Drewes 702-732-4477 or email tdrewes@stviatorschool.org

Current SVS parents if you have friends or family interested in enrolling their children in our school please help us share that now is the time to tour and apply! Parents are our best spokespeople ands we are grateful for your continued support!

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

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 occurred in December and you should have attended 13 masses by this time. All rates will be reviewed adjusted after the assessment. If your rate is adjusted it will be reflected on the February statement.

Please be reminded of the following important procedures:

Absences: If your child will be absent from school, per the handbook (pg. 11), parents should notify the school office immediately. This helps us ensure accurate attendance records.

Tardiness: If your child will be late due to an appointment, car issues, etc., please call the school office ahead of time to inform us of the delay.

Early Pickup: If your child needs to be picked up early, it is mandatory that you contact the school office as soon as possible—whether via phone call, email, or a note sent in with your child. Failure to do so can cause classroom disruption and may delay your child’s retrieval.

As part of our ongoing commitment to maintaining a safe and healthy school environment, we want to remind families of a few important lunch guidelines:

1. No Glass Containers: Please ensure that your child does not bring any glass containers in their lunchbox. Glass can easily fall and shatter, creating a safety hazard in the cafeteria and throughout the school campus. We appreciate your cooperation in helping us keep all students safe.

2. No Sharing of Food: While this policy is outlined in our school handbook and closely monitored by cafeteria staff, we have noticed that, from time to time, students are still sharing or gifting food to classmates. For the health and safety of all students, we kindly ask parents to reinforce this rule at home. Each child should eat only the lunch that has been packed from home or ordered through the school’s lunch program.

Your support in reinforcing these guidelines with your child is greatly appreciated. Thank you for helping us maintain a safe and healthy school environment!
