HOME AND SCHOOL
Hello,
The St. Charles Borromeo Home and School Association coordinates many events throughout the year to support our school. Your help is needed to make these projects successful. Volunteering is not only rewarding, but also a great way to meet other families. We ask that each family volunteer for at least two events IN ADDITION to the Parish Picnic and Fish Fry. Please review the events listed in the link below and sign up under the ones that work best for you and your schedule. As the event nears, the chairperson of that event will contact you about the specific times and duties involved. Thank you in advance for your valuable time and support.
In addition to the attached events, each half day (once per month) lunch is provided for the faculty. This year a different grade will be responsible for providing the staff lunch each month. A separate sign-up link will be sent to the appropriate grade when it is their responsibility.
Please note that there are two events that are required by all:
Parish Picnic
Dates: October 1-3, 2021
Chairpersons: Paul and Christine Woody
The Parish Picnic is one the of the Parish and School’s biggest fundraisers each year. During this weekend of fellowship, each school family is expected to volunteer for at least one shift at a Home and School Association booth. As we get closer to the Picnic, a sign-up link will be created and sent to everyone to choose a specific shift. We also ask that all families consider bringing a dessert for the Chicken and Roast Beef dinner on Sunday. Families may also be asked to cover additional shifts if you belong to other ministries or organizations in the Parish as well.
Fish Fries
Each family is asked to work two shifts at our Lenten Fish Fries. A sign-up link will be sent to everyone as Lent approaches to pick the Friday and time that works best for you.

If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know.
Thank you! We appreciate all your help and support!

COUNSELING SERVICES WITH Ms. AMBROSE
Hello Families of St. Charles Borromeo,
My name is Megan Ambrose and I am so thankful to be returning to St. Charles Borromeo for a third year! Attached to this email I have included a welcome letter as well as information about counseling services at St. Charles Borromeo this year.
- Please note that you will only need to return the attached consent forms if you would like your child to receive counseling services at this time. These forms can also be signed throughout the year should you and your child decide counseling is something you would like to explore. The attached forms include:
- Counseling request form, this will include basic information about your child as well as why you believe they could benefit from counseling.
- Two consent forms, one is a general Consent for Counseling for school, the second is a Consent for Counseling for a HIPPA compliant telehealth platform (Zoom) should we switch from in person schooling to virtual schooling. We are asking at this time that both are signed so we are prepared.
- Additional Information form- This includes four short questions regarding any previous counseling experience your child has had.
**If your child received counseling services last year I will still need updated forms signed for this 2021-2022 school year.**
If you have any questions or concerns I am happy to answer them. Please feel free to email these forms directly back to me or submit them to the school office. Again, I am thrilled to be back at St. Charles Borromeo for a third year and look forward to working with your children!

LUNCH MENUS
To: St. Charles Borromeo School Community
From: Food Service Consultants
Locally owned and operated.
Subject: Foodservice Program for 2021/2022
We are very excited and look forward to serving the St. Charles Borromeo School community again in the 2021/2022 school year. Please be assured we will continue to follow the CDC COVID-19 guidelines still in place.
A lunch account will be set up for each child/family this year. If you choose to participate, please make an initial deposit which will be credited to your child’s or family account. In typical times the meal card we use for your child will be kept by the homeroom teacher so that the card is not misplaced. To minimize contact we will not be taking cash at lunch. Any cash sent in will be deposited into your child’s, family’s account. Even if your child just purchases milk $5.00 put into their account would be great. The FACTS system records all deposits and purchases on your family’s account and tracks the balance daily. It will roll over from semester to semester and even year to year. If your child is graduating, the balance will be kept on your family card, or you may request a refund.
The initial check or deposit should be a minimum of $25.00 - $50.00, although we recommend that you do start with a little more. More funds can be added at any time by either sending in a check or going online and using the Pay Pal option. PayPal email address is fsccafe@borromeoschool.com. The checks should be sent to the school office or given to the homeroom teacher, “attention cafeteria manager” and be made out to “Food Service Consultants”, or just “FSC”. To help us get started, we would appreciate receiving advance deposits before school starts. By doing so, we can have your child’s or family’s account set up and ready to use the first day of school. If not, please try and remember to send in the deposit during the first couple of days so we have enough time to get everyone in the system.
The menu will feature 2 main selections to choose from daily. They are the “Healthy Habits” hot lunch, or a cold lunch called “Grab & Go”. Your child will be able to select either of these menu items for their lunch that day. For the upper grades there will be a few ala carte menu items that will be made available for them to choose from as well. We will be participating in the Special Milk Program which allows us to offer milk for the students at a reduced price. The price for the 2021- 2022 school year is expected to be around $ .15 - $ .20 per carton.
We will be preparing a menu each month which will be posted on the school website. Portion sizes will be adjusted by class, especially for the older students. The pricing is as follows:
· All Grades - $4.00 with milk
· All Grades - $4.25 with 8 oz bottle water
· Extra Entrée - $1.50
. We encourage you to call with any questions that you might have or speak directly with our onsite manager, Patsy Fink, through school or Debbie Hill, District Supervisor at 314-569-3663 ext. 105.
Thank you!!!!
