Charger Check-InSeptember 5, 2024

A Note from Ms. Owens

SCA's Homecoming festivities will kick off tomorrow with a pep rally in the gym on Friday, September 6 beginning at 1:45PM. School families are welcome to attend. We will have limited bleacher seating available. Doors will open at 1:30PM. Fall student-athletes are welcome to wear their jerseys to school on the day of the pep rally. It will be a school-wide Charger Pride Dress Down (no donation).

  • Homecoming Mass will be held on Saturday, September 7 at 4PM. Famlies with football players and cheerleaders are expected to attend this mass.
  • Details for Sunday's parade, football games and celebration are further down in the Check-In.


A Bit More News...

  • New this year, students arriving to school after 8:05AM will be marked tardy. (In past years, it was 8:10AM.) This moves the start of instructional time to five minutes sooner than in past years and will capture an additional 100 minutes of instructional time each month.
  • Our first Early Dismissal Wednesday of the school is next week on Wednesday, September 11. Students will dismiss at 1:45PM. Please note the new time for this year. Extended care will be available.
  • Ordering for hot lunch is now open. Scroll down for important information. Our fist hot lunch is scheduled for Wednesday, September 18.
  • Check out this great article on the Music Ministry right here at St. Catherine of Alexandria! Congratulations to Phil Caffee on building and growing this beautiful program!
  • If you know of an SCA family who owns a small business that we can publicize here to help support them, please reach out to me via email. Scroll down to see local businesses we can support.

Ways to Support Our Local Small Businesses
