Dear parents,
Our summer Faith Formation program “Totus Tuus” is beginning on Monday, July 18, so I wanted to share some information with you to make this week go as smoothly as possible.
DROP-OFF: Parents should drop-off their children by the Gym Entrance to the school (down by the ball-field) no later than 8:55 am. Four years ago we routinely had children arriving late which was unfair to the other children. Please do your best to arrive on time.
PICK-UP: After 2:30 PM, parents must come to the Gym entrance to the school and physically sign-out your children. This is to ensure safety and good communication between staff, volunteers and parents. If someone else is taking your child home that day, please communicate this to Joe Block ahead of time.
MEDICATION: If you child needs medication administered or kept ready during Totus Tuus, please send your child with a filled-out medication form (below) along with the medicine when you drop your child off on Monday.
PERMISSION SLIP & RELEASE OF IMAGE: Please send your child with his or her permission slip and image release on Monday morning. Forms are below.
MASS: We will be having Mass and Confessions each day. Please join us! You can check the church calendar here to double-check that there are no funerals. As of now, the planned times are:
SNACKS: Please send a simple snack with your child for the morning snack-break. This should be in a labeled paper sack or containter, and should not require refrigeration.
LUNCH: Each child should bring his own lunch each day in a labeled paper sack or lunch container. Lunches should not require refrigeration. Lunch will be at 12:00 PM each day.
WATER BOTTLE: Each child should bring a labeled water bottle each day.
RECESS: Recess will be every day after lunch until 12:55 PM. If you're willing to help chaperone during recess, please contact Joe Block right away.
FRIDAY AFTERNOON FUN TIME: Our last event will involve water games. There will be a water-balloon toss, a water fight, and potentially a fire truck with their spray hose as well. Please send your child with squirt-guns, squirt bottles, buckets, etc… for their enjoyment during this time. You may want to put a little extra sunscreen on them that morning. Please send them with a beach towel as well. Note: They will be wet when you pick them up on Friday!
