Sixth Graders address a few of the School Wide Learning Expectations…. 

I can be a student of Health by recycling water bottles and cans to be made into new things.  I care for myself by eating fruits and vegetables.  I participate in sports by playing basketball.                                                                                ~Sam Mayo 

This year I can work on being a student of Integrity by encouraging others to do what is right.  Also, I can try to make better choices.  Finally, I can show kindness to everyone around me                                                                                               ~Megan Kahn 

This year I can be a student of Faith because I can make my relationship with God stronger.  I can learn more about our Church.  I can also try to listen and learn more in religion class to strengthen my knowledge about St. Ignatius of Loyola.

Amazing Grapes
I cannot thank Patsy Cutler and Maribeth Pollard enough for all their work on our first Parent Club fundraiser of the year. The hall and playground was transformed, the food and wine amazing….and the positive energy made it all a wonderful night.

Thank you to all the parents who volunteered their time with set up, serving, breaking down and clean up. It was great to see the community brought together once again.

From inception, Tim Kenneally has helped with the coordination and supply of the fine wines and wonderful wineries attending the event. Thank you for your time and talents over the last 7 years and your guidance this year. In addition, Rick Tranchina has helped provide scrumptious cuisine at the event and coordinate food from several of the finest restaurants in Sacramento. Thank you for your guidance and the extra effort this year at the Tiger Café. Lorenzo Reynoso has assisted and taken point over the last several years with the set up and clean- up of the event, along with the balancing task of making sure we don’t blow all of the electrical with the lighting and band. Thank you for the continued assistance and guidance this year.
We would also like to extend gratitude and recognition to two of our school family event sponsors, Dr. Tom & Debra Russell and Andy & Christine Draa. Your generosity, time, and talents toward the event are truly appreciated.

We have named this week, St. Ignatius School Safety Week.  Our students had the opportunity to hear from Officer John Tennis (Nelson 4^th, Oliver 2^nd) at this morning’s assembly talk about what to do if a stranger tries and talk to them, as well as general rules of safety.  We are also planning our safety drills with the classes this week—which I am sure will give you child a lot of material at the dinner table.  We will be practicing our Fire Drill, Lockdown Drill, and Earthquake Drill.  We have also emphasized with your children that under no circumstances should they be opening a gate for a parent, especially if someone is trying to cut through.  So please, make sure you use the gate at the Pre-school entrance and if you are late you MUST come through the school office.  Arrival and Dismissal time are also times when it is crucial that the student’s follow the guidelines set forth.  Please pull ALL THE WAY FORWARD in front of the PC when you are dropping or picking up.  This will help things run much more efficiently.  Also students need to pay close attention so that when their ride arrives, they are ready to go.  Soccer coaches and PAL coaches must pick up and walk their athletes directly to Extended and check them in.  Athletes should NEVER be left on their own to take care of this.  

No one is to be on campus until 7:45am unless they are in Extended, morning detention, or an appointment has been made with an individual teacher.
