***************************************************************************
If you have forgotten a book or an assignment, please do not return to
school to pick up your forgotten items. The school is in use after
dismissal for Religious Education classes and after-school meetings, and we
ask you not to disturb the classrooms by this interruption.
Please do not park in the Convent Parking Lot at any time. This is the lot
directly across from Saint Columba Church and where our flag stands. Exit
from the Faculty Lot, using Sister Grace's Way behind Room 15 (Faculty
Parking Lot),exiting on to Route 376. When dropping your children off in the
morning, you must park in the Faculty Lot and leave via the Faculty Lot. You
may not exit via the A&P lot in the morning.
Please check Emergency Closings on our Home Page for information regarding
school delays and snow closings. We do not use our Emergency Relay System
to inform parents of the closing of School because of inclement weather.
You need to listen to the local radio stations for our School and, although,
we may not be mentioned personally, we do fall under the school closings of
the Wappingers Central School District. When they are closed for snow, we
are closed. When they have a delay for snow, we have a delay. Hope this
helps!
As an aside, please remind your children of your "Go Home" plan for them.
Do they go to a neighbor's home? Do they have a key to the house? Reassure
your children of your particular directives. When we do have a closing
after the children have arrived to School, it is impossible for students to
call parents and ask what they are to do or where they are to go.
Only Supervisory Parents are permitted to be in our building at lunchtime.
If you need to visit your child, please stop by the Main Office and pick up
a "Visitor's Pass." You will need to sign the sign-in book when you arrive
and when you leave.
With regard to pick up times: If you need to pick your child up from School,
please arrive at 2:30 P.M. Your children will be dismissed to you at 2:35
P.M. For an 11:30 A.M. dismissal-please arrive at 11:15 A.M. Your children
will be dismissed to you at 11:20 A.M. For a Noon dismissal-please arrive at
