“See what love the Father has bestowed on
us
that we may be called children of
God.
Yet so we are.”
I John 3: 1
Dear Moms and Dads,
Enjoy your four-day weekend and have a safe
and fun Halloween. Happy ALL SAINTS Day
on Sunday! It’s a great day to ask all
those good people we know who have gone before us to pray for us that we may
join them in heaven someday. Should be
one great reunion, don’t you think?
The completely re-done St. Henry Parent and
Student Handbook will be in your family envelope. You will see from the “Table of Contents”
that lots of topics are covered from the profound to the mundane. Please familiarize yourself with what is in
it, read over the items that have immediate application, and then return the
Handbook Agreement Statement as soon as possible. You will notice there are spots on the sheet
for children’s signatures. If your
children are very young, you might want to just hit the highpoints of the
sections discussing homework, playground rules of safety, and discipline
expectations (shared in the first paragraph of the topic.) With older students you might want to review
together a number of other topics as well.
Some of the sections will only refer to parents, and some will only be
looked up on a need-to-know basis. It
would be wonderful if all the Agreement Statements could be back in school by
the end of next week. However, let’s set
Wednesday, November 11 as the deadline.
By the way, if you misplace your copy, this handbook will be available
on-line or we can run another for you at a minimal cost. You might want to find a folder to keep it in
so it lasts longer.
Next week is the diocesan-mandated week for
every teacher in grades K-8 to share a lesson from the diocesan-created Safe
Environment curriculum. There is an
explanation sheet in every child’s take home folder or envelope explaining the
lesson. If you would prefer to not have
your child be in class during this time, please leave a message on the
answering machine so we can send you an “Opt-Out Form” that would need to be
returned Tuesday. Teachers will not
schedule the lesson until Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday to give parents an
opportunity to get the request to us. We
do recommend the program, however.
