REGISTRATION FOR THE 2008-09 SCHOOL YEAR
All packets need to be turned into the school office this week.  For those who have not received your packet, you must pay any balance due before it can be released.  All packets were released last week… if you have not received your packet, and you are not sure of your balance due, you may call the school office. 

We would like to complete all registration by this Friday so that we can move to those families on our waiting list.  If your packet is not picked up, we will assume that you will not be returning for the 2008-09 school year.   If you have any questions, please feel free to call the school office.

Staffing for 2008-09
As some of you may have heard, due to a possible re-location move in a year, Lisa Laville will not be able to accept the eighth grade homeroom position for the 2008-09 school year.  However, Mrs. Laville will remain in fourth grade and will be our full time fourth grade teacher, which of course I am thrilled to hear and our third grade parents and students will be very happy. 

I have been accepting applications for our eighth grade homeroom teacher over the last few weeks and did have some very good resumes in my office already.  Mrs. Clark, Mrs. Berghoff, Mrs. Hatridge, and I are on the interview team.  We have already interviewed two applicants and will continue to interview over the next week.

I am very happy that Mrs. Berghoff will be our seventh grade homeroom teacher.  This will bring experience and stability to our junior high program.  I am aware of all the responsibility that the eighth grade homeroom teacher has in regards to teaching math and history, but equally important is the ability to relate to young men and women of this age in our faith based environment.  Eighth grade is the culmination of the student’s years here in preparation for the high school of choice and we will find a very good if not excellent eighth grade teacher.  With any change comes some anxiety and concern, but please trust that your children are our utmost priority and we will hire a teacher who will do an excellent job with your children. 

As soon as we have a teacher selected I will let you know.


School Website
We are working on building our website to provide you with the most updated information and to lessen the amount of paper that goes home.  Please put the school website address as one of your favorites and visit it at least once a day.

There is a great video slide show of our Academic Decathlon Team’s competition in San Diego above right now.  Also there are pictures of the Fun Run and Missoula Children’s Theater that can be purchased by following the Cinderella link on the right.

May Crowning
We had a lovely Mass last week as we celebrated Mary.  I want to thank our Altar Society for their participation in our school Mass.  Father Tom shared a wonderful message about Mary’s “yes” to God, the choir was beautiful, and our second graders looked angelic in their First Communion attire. 

Our eighth graders head up to Applegate for their Spring retreat this week and your prayers for a successful retreat would be appreciated.  Time is winding down quickly.  Our third graders are busy practicing their recorders (I hear them at every recess) and memorizing their parts for the third grade plays.  Mark your calendar for next Friday’s eighth grade carnival which is sure to be great fun.

Logo Wear Info/Form

Summer Program Reg. Packet

A few uniform reminders:

White shoes are fine. The basic shoe color must be white, brown, red, black, or blue. I apologize for the miscommunication.

Crew socks or knee socks must be worn. Ankle socks are not permitted. Crew socks should be clearly worn a few inches above the ankle.

Shirts must be tucked in while in the classrooms or at Mass. Boys in grades 4th-8th must wear belts.

Also, an update to our uniform policy: Girls in grades TK-8 can wear the uniform skirt. Dennis Uniforms was contacted today so they are aware of our policy. They do have skirts that are available, size 3 and up.

Boys must have their hair cut above the collar and over their ears.

New dress code:
We will use the term, FORMAL UNIFORM, when, if the student wants to wear a sweatshirt, it must be their BLUE or RED sweatshirt. We will require formal attire on Mass days, Special School Days, and Picture Day (sweatshirts are required for school pictures).



 

Dear St. Ignatius Parents: 

I am the current Advisory Council member responsible for facilities and security.  Please find below a link to my email address.  We would like to make it easy for you to report  NON-EMERGENCY maintenance and safety items you may observe around campus.  Is there something you see that needs attention?  Consider it a suggestion box.  We can’t guarantee that all of your wishes will come true, but we would certainly appreciate the feedback. 

Thank you,
Melanie Fries
