Parents can sign up to volunteer in the classroom.  This will start in October.  All parent volunteers need to have Safe Environment Training.  Please visit the Archdiocese of Omaha website (www.archomaha.org) to find a training time.

Please check in at the main office before coming down to a Kindergarten classroom.  And if you can’t make it on your assigned day, don’t worry about it!

Please do not send birthday party invitations to school unless you are inviting the entire class, all the boys, or all the girls.  Please refer to the school directory for parent information.

If you choose to send birthday treats, please make sure you send enough for the entire class.  Please also send small treats that are easy to pass out, open, and clean up.
