30 Minute Class Sessions for Parents

You will learn about class procedures, special things for the year in that grade level, homework, curriculum, and more.

Emergency Calling System- All-School Broadcast

We will be conducting a trial call for our emergency calling system this week.

The trial call will take place on Tuesday, September 20 between 6:00PM and 7:00PM.

If you DO NOT get a call, please let us know so we can check on the number in our records.

If you want to add an additional number to receive the emergency calls, please let us know this too.

Contact sherry.hartman@swsaints.org and kim.doyle@swsaints.org

Emergency calls are mostly sent out for snow days, late starts and early dismissals due to weather, but are also in place for the case of a greater emergency such as a lock down, fire, or even broken pipe in the school when we must evacuate or close the building. Parents are given the full instructions for the emergency through this calling notice.

Marathon Day – what to expect!
The marathon consists of kids and parents walking or running a course around our St. Wenceslaus campus. Everyone can do it! You can go one lap or many laps.

For every lap around the course, there is a prize table at the end. The more laps, the bigger the prizes.

8:30-9:00 – check-in. Each student must check-in and gets a lap tally pinned to their back.
9:00-10:00 – running and walking – go to homeroom teacher for a tally after each lap.
10:00 – prize tables open
10:30 – event concludes

There will be coffee/donuts upon arrival.
The local Knights of Columbus will be there to serve us hot dogs and chips.

Water will be available but we suggest each child have a water bottle of their own for the run.

Toddler Tuesdays
Beginning – Tuesday, September 20th and every Tuesday after. (On days when school is in session)

8:00 AM -10:00 AM

Come when you can and bring your friends and neighbors who also have toddlers- ages 1-4/5. Kids can run around in the gym.  Our PE teacher, Mrs. Turner, will be there too and provide some of the school equipment for even more fun.

Park in the school parking lot and enter through the main doors near the gym. Someone will be there to let you in. If the door is locked, just want in the lobby. We will find you!

School Mass at 8:00am every Wednesday

All parents, grandparents, and friends of our school are invited to join us every Wednesday morning for our school Mass.

We ask that you sit in the back. All of our students in K-8 will sit with their classes and teachers up front.

Preschool families we also encourage you to come before the 9:00 preschool start time.

School Mass is planned by a different group of students each week and planned so that the students get to participate and understand.

Thank you parade participants

We had such a great presence in the parade. More than one parish member stopped me as I was walking back to my car after the parade to tell me how proud they were of our school in the parade.

We are especially appreciative of all of the parents who walked along the route with us.

Grandparents and Friends of the School

Each time the student has lunch, milk/juice then the funds get deducted. You get an automated text when your account falls below $20.

If your family qualifies for free lunch with K-8 students, then be sure to still have funds for milk/juice selection at snack time or for a 2nd lunch.

Lunch PreK-8 = $3.00
Milk at lunchtime with a lunch from home = $.50 per carton
K-8 Snack time milk/ juice selection = $.50
Extra 2nd or double up lunch = additional $1.50

Heads up for October 19
We will not have the school open on this date. The School staff will be joining all other Catholic school staff members from our 79 schools of the Archdiocese. There will be nearly 2500 Catholic school staff members gathered.

This event is called the Summit of Excellence. It takes place at the Minnneapolis Convention Center and begins with Mass with Archbishop Hebda, followed by workshop learning sessions.

Club House and preschool are closed too.
