SCHOOL INFORMATION!
Congratulations
are in order. In the annual Knights of
Columbus spelling and math competitions the following children emerged as the
top winners in their class. For MATH,
grade 5 – Robert Craig; grade 6 –Alexander Denault; grade 7 –Cole Keller; and
grade 8 – Justin Drebenstedt. For
SPELLING, grade 5 – Karli Kohls; grade 6 – Grace O’Connor; grade 7 – Janelle
Hamilton, and grade 8, Jessica Mallow.
All these children are invited to the next level of competition taking
place at the Saux Prairie Middle School in Saux City, Wisconsin on Saturday,
March 6. Good luck, for sure.
The Knights also
shared the winners of the Christmas poster contest that had been held in
Advent. They will be listed as the class
winners, but those with an asterisk also achieved the honor of being citywide
winners. And those children are Logan Pitterle for grade 1, Patrick O’Connor*
for grade 2, Max Thomas* for grade 3, and Hannah Stiemke for grade 4. Cheers.
Next week we are
having an assembly in school to which you would be welcome. In preparation for
our annual Lenten Penny War, Mr. Paul Thomas will be sharing his knowledge
about and experiences with the children of Afghanistan at 10 am on Wednesday in
the Parish Center. Feel free to join us!
April 15th is the
last date the 2009-2010 Service Hours slips should be turned in to the school
office. Quite a few are still out,
reports Mrs. Trimborn. Please recall
that any hours that are not in must be redeemed as $10 per un-served hours as
tuition due on April 15th. Questions?
Many are answered on the Service Hours sheet itself. You can also check the addendum of your
contract or give us a call. If anyone
can’t find the sheet, please give Mrs. Trimborn a call or send a note. Thank you.
And remember, you can send those in as soon as the fifteen hours are
completed.

BIG CHANGES for SUMMER SCHOOL REGISTRATION – really
BIG!
All registration will be done
online via the
computer. No exceptions. Therefore, if
you want any of your children to be in summer school there are a few MUSTS.
You must fill out and return a
separate (preliminary) summer school registration form for each of your
children. It is included with this newsletter and it must be returned to St. Henry School by
Wednesday, March 3rd.
From the information on these preliminary forms, public school personnel
will register you as a possible participant for the summer school session June 22 to July 20, 2010. Within approximately a month, you will be
mailed a specific login and password to Skyward Family Access. Without that, you will be unable to register
for summer school. There will be NO
paper registration for courses as was done in the past.
Online access to register will be
opened on Thursday, April 8 at 4:00 pm. Ability to register
online will be open from that day and time through
Friday, May 7th. After
that time, no new registrations will be accepted. No walk-ins will be possible. Before
that date, you can view course offerings through the www.watertown.k12.wi.us address. Although the summer school course selections
will not be finalized until around March 15th, you are able to peruse a lot of
summer school information by going to the site above and then typing in summer
school in the search blank.
After you have received your log in and password information you
will be able to go to the Watertown school site mentioned above and then click
on the Skyward Family Access for actual registration. The sooner you do this -- once access is open
on April 8th -- the better chance you will have of obtaining the
courses you want. It will be a good idea
to have at least three choices in mind for each period you want your child to
attend in case your first or second choices are already filled when you are
ready to register and online.
After you register you will have
exactly two weeks to get payments and any other forms that you may need to
download into the public school. For each child registering
for one or more classes there is a standard $15.00 fee. There are also individual additional fees for
some of the classes. Those fees, medical
information forms, any liability waiver forms (depending on classes), lunch
forms (it’s free!), and bus registration – all
must be mailed or dropped off to Lincoln School within two weeks of registering
online. Failure to do that will result
in the student(s) being dropped from those classes!
That’s a lot to digest. The
main thing for NOW is to return the (preliminary) registration form to St.
Henry on or by next Wednesday. For
those who do that, we will send home before spring vacation begins at the end
of March a pamphlet from the school district that will reiterate the above and
give you more detailed information as to the how, what, where, and when.
By the way, on the opening early evening of registration on April
8th – if you do not have access to a computer and the Internet, --
you may go to Lincoln School between 4 and 7 pm and there will be people there
to help you register online using their computers. That’s a nice service. So to summarize again, for anyone interested
in summer school this year:
Wednesday, March 3 Must have (preliminary) registration forms returned to St.
Henry School for each child.
Between April 8 and May 7th: Register online using logins and passwords
that will be mailed to you if (preliminary) registration forms were returned by
March 3rd.
Within two weeks of
registering: all fees and required forms
must be brought to or mailed to Lincoln School
