LUNCH SCHEDULE!

In an effort to make lunch and recess time flow more smoothly, we have implemented a new schedule. Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grades will go to lunch from 11:20 to 11:45 and then go to recess from 11:45 until 12:10. Grades 3, 4 and 5 will go to recess from 11:20 until 11:45 and then eat lunch from 11:45 until 12:10. This new schedule will cut down on the noise and confusion and enable the younger students to eat with fewer distractions.

2010 - 2011

 

CONGRATULATIONS TO ANGEL CRUZ, GIOVANNI CRUZ, GREER DECKER, AIMEE DE LAS ALAS,

St. Paul School attendance incentive program. 

The goal of this program is to decrease the number of absences the school experiences due to tardies and family vacations.

 

*Did you know that three tardies equal one absence?

*Did you know that students who are consistently on time for school grow up to have an improved work ethic?  Employers expect their employees to be on time and at work each day.

*Did you know that studies have proven that students who have high attendance rates achieve at a higher level in school and on standardized tests?

 

 

 

Spread the Word:

 

Students with Perfect Attendance for each 9 weeks will:

 

Be recognized at the Friday morning gathering time with a perfect attendance ribbon and certificate. 

Their names will also be listed in the Chronicle-Tribune and the Trojan Tribune.

 

Students with Perfect Attendance for the whole year will:

 

Receive the incentives as listed above PLUS:

A t-shirt and recognition in the Chronicle-Tribune.  Additionally, these students will have their picture submitted to the diocesan newspaper, The Catholic Moment.
