Announcements for 2/11/10

REGISTRATON – We encourage each of you to register for next year now.  Open registration begins February 15.  If all the students in Pre K 4 register for next year there will be no openings for new students in Kindergarten for next year.  We have had several calls for new students who would like to register for Kindergarten and will begin accepting new students on the 15^th of February. 

 We would also like to share with you some exciting new news.  The funding has been made available by a very generous donation, to allow us to hire someone who will work with students with special needs and gifted students.  Our teachers have identified this need within our school and are very happy at the possibilities this added service will provide.

Every family receives tuition assistance as the cost of tuition does not come close to covering the actual cost of educating each child.  Without the fund-raising efforts there would be no Mary Immaculate Star of the Sea School.  The school has grown this year and I am sure that it will grow even more in years to come.  The academics at Mary Immaculate excel. The standardized tests scores confirm this excellence.  The teachers are the BEST available and the most cohesive and dedicated staff I have ever worked with.  They are professional and give each child the attention they need to support their potential.

The Guidance Department has welcomed back Dr. Debbie Lippi. Dr. Lippi provides that “extra listening ear” for students that are in need.  Julia Orofino returned to enhance the Physical Education department.  Father John Baker, Deacon Peter Batty, and our beloved Sisters teach religion and guide us spiritually as we walk down our path of life.

 In closing, the parent participation in the school is extraordinary.  Keep coming! We need you and we welcome your help and imput. If you have not gotten in all the service hours you need for the year, the Carnival is coming up March 11^th – March 14^th.  Linda Shield is our coordinator and can use your help in many ways.  Check out our website soon for upcoming sign up sheets.
