Toys such as puzzles, play kitchens and/or accessories, castles, little people, fairies, board games, blocks, Fisher Price or Little Tike tables, etc. Please send them to the office by June 10th. It would be much appreciated. Thank You.

Preserve busing and special ed for Catholic school families!
Take Action Now!
Now that work on the State Budget is completed, lawmakers will devote the remaining weeks of the legislative session to a short list of legislative issues. One of these issues is referred to as "mandate relief" -- an indirect way of saying "program and service cuts." In order to reduce the costs to school districts, public school advocates are pressing lawmakers to relieve them of the mandate to transport religious and independent school children up to 15 miles and to reduce the mandates that provide religious and independent school students with access to certain special education services. Although lawmakers have thus far resisted the public school proposals, pressure is increasing on the governor and legislature to provide some form of mandate relief. We simply cannot permit the fiscal troubles of school districts to be relieved at the expense of our children and families. Already, our Catholic school families get barely any services for the school taxes they pay, while saving the state billions each year.
It is very important that you take a moment to send this pre-written, editable e-mail at the link below to the governor and your elected representatives urging them to continue to oppose service and program cuts to our Catholic school students. And don't forget to follow us on Facebook and Twitter for all the latest news.

The
NEW uniform policy takes place in September. For those of you who have purchased uniforms this year, we will have a transition year in 2012-2013 where both the new uniforms and our present uniforms will be accepted.
School Reach is an efficient means of communication used by our school for the past few years. It is used to "get the word out" in a quick and timely manner. It may be used for school closings, reminders about events, or other similar purposes. In the event of an emergency, the School Reach call will state that it is an emergency. Please listen to the message when you receive these calls.

As you know, decisions have been made regarding implementation of the Strategic Plan and how this will affect the Catholic elementary schools on Long Island. I am pleased to report that our school will remain open and will be a critical component of Catholic education on Long Island as we move forward. It is also with sadness that I share with you that six schools will close in June of 2012. In the coming months as the Diocese moves forward with the Strategic Plan, it is important to acknowledge these changes and to be sensitive to the needs of those at schools that will close at the end of this school year. As we move forward, we will continue to offer a quality Catholic education that meets the needs of the students in our care. Right now, I ask that you join me in praying for the students, families, teachers, principals, pastors, and staff members of the schools that will close in June.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Maryalice L. Doherty
Principal
