Saint Wenceslaus Catholic School Office Update
From the Office of Principal:
Dear Parents, Grandparents, and Friends of SWS,
Our distance learning continues through the end of the school year. It is going well for most children and teachers. We cannot thank our parents enough for really stepping up to the challenge of working with your children and making sure they are connected to our teachers. We could not do this as well as we are without you!
Please watch for details about returning all textbooks, school supplies, and computers/ipads that belong to the school. We will have several sessions when you can come to drop off your child’s items on May 26 and 27.
This week – No Classes on Friday, May 1 and Monday, May 4. These are curriculum development days for all schools in New Prague and most of the State.
You can win $10,000 for SWS!
The CSCOE Bash is coming up on Saturday, May 2.
Host a watch party and snap a picture of your screen with 10 people watching with you. Your name will go into a drawing and one of the 79 Catholic Schools will win – let’s make it SWS!
