INNISBROOK GIFT WRAP FUNDRAISER STARTS TODAY!!!

 

HI PARENTS!

 

The Innisbrook fundraiser packets came home today! This will be fun and exciting for the kids. Just to clarify a point or two. Although online orders are preferred, you may still use the paper order form and turn it in with a check. We will enter it into the computer for you and once we have entered your order, we will return the order form/worksheet to you, so you know who ordered what.

 

Even if you decide not to buy, please do not throw away the packets. They still need to be returned to school.  Innisbrook is giving our kids a popcorn party and a gift certificate to the teachers for every class that gets 100% of their packets returned. For straight donations, just return your packet with the check and write “donation” on the order form.

 

Please call me if you have any questions @ 314-223-7447.

 

Thanks for your support!!

 

Carla Grewe, Chairperson

 

SEVENTH & EIGHTH GRADE STUDENTS AND PARENTS

 

Now is a good time to begin familiarizing yourselves with some of the activities and programs that the area high schools offer. Many of the schools have recitals, sporting events and fall festivals.  These events provide parents and students with opportunities to learn about the high schools.  Of course, since these events are geared for high school age students, parent supervision is important.  There are many wonderful choices.  You can seek out further information on the individual schools’ websites.

 

SOCCER CHALLENGE


The Knights of Columbus will be hosting their annual soccer challenge at Des Peres Park

(soccer goal next to tennis courts) on MON Sept 13 at 7pm. All boys and girls from the ages 10-14

are invited. No cost. Each athlete will take a certain number of penalty shots and the athlete with

the most points (age division) will advance to the district championship and receive an award. Please bring proof of age (e.g. CYC card).  Contact Bill Meirink for further questions.

                                                                                               

TIP (Talent Identification Search)

 

Members of the seventh grade class have met the eligibility criteria necessary to participate in TIP, sponsored by Duke University.  The selections were based upon achievement on their sixth grade ITBS scores. TIP provides an opportunity for highly able seventh grade students to pursue an out-of level testing experience by taking either the ACT or the SAT college entrance exam at the same time and place that high school juniors and seniors are taking the test.  The students are Nolen Doorack, Emma Hartke, Betsy Kramer and Chris Kreienkamp.  Congratulations to all of these students on their fine achievement.

                                                                       

2ND ANNUAL ST. CLEMENT 5K WALK/RUN ~ 2011

 

We hope you can join us in 2011 for our 2nd annual St. Clement 5K Walk/Run. 

Watch for more information on the date, time and location as it gets closer to the

2011 St. Clement Carnival!

 

Not only was the St. Clement 5K Walk/Run fun, but it was a huge success.   The $500 went towards the purchase of new recess items such as balls, hula hoops, jump ropes and many fun items in support of Fun & Fitness!

 

PLEASE WRITE A NOTE IF YOU HAVE A CHILD

LEAVING SCHOOL BEFORE DISMISSAL TIME

 

If you have a child who needs to leave for an appointment during the school day or who is leaving early and not returning, it is required for you to write a note to their teacher.  The student should give the note to the teacher when they arrive at school, the teacher will read it and then send it to the office.  Thanks so much for following this procedure.

 

SCHOOL ATTENDANCE HOTLINE

 

If your child is sick or will be late to school, please call St. Clement @ 314-822-1903 and press #4 for the attendance hotline.  If  you have not called by 9 A.M., our school nurse will call your home to verify that your child will be absent.  We would like to make as few calls as possible as we begin our busy day.  Thanks for your cooperation in this matter.

 

EARLY DISMISSAL (Doctor Appointments, etc.)

 

On those few occasions that you need early dismissal between 2:30 P.M. & 3 P.M., please park on the Adoration Chapel Parking Lot and come to the office to pick up your child.  After picking up your child, you may use the Fire Lane to exit the school parking lot.

 

VERY IMPORTANT –

PLEASE VERIFY FAST DIRECT INFORMATION BY FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 10th

 

ALL FAMILIES must update their information on our school’s Fast Direct program.  This information is necessary for our school telephone broadcast system.  The broadcast system enables school to notify all households and parents by phone within minutes of any emergency or unplanned event that causes early dismissal, school cancellation or late start.

 

Once you log on the Fast Direct program, click on “Display Parent Data” and make sure that your parent information is correct (correct address and phone information).  After making any changes needed, click on “Change Data As Shown Above.”

 

It is your responsibility to keep this information current so that we are able to reach all of our school families through our broadcast system when necessary.
