Welcome
Welcome
to the St. Pius X Catholic School web site! In
visiting the site, we hope you’ll come to see
all that makes St. Pius X such a distinctive Catholic
community. Sourced
in a dynamic culture of faith, prayer and service,
the school offers an exceptional and nationally-recognized
academic program, diverse extra-curricular offerings,
professionally engaged and experienced teachers, and
a network of committed parent volunteers. After
more than fifty years in helping students understand
the importance of living out the Gospels, we are excited
about what our school and parish have to offer. Thank
you again for visiting, and please don’t hesitate
to contact us with any questions.

Corner
As we enter the month of September, we also enter our new office space. Mrs. Cates and Mrs. Hoffmire may now be found holding court in their new offices. Please be patient as they arrange their needed supplies. Mrs. Davis, Mrs. DeGan, and Mrs. Cook are in the process of organizing their new space, and students will be meeting them in this space very soon. Mrs. Pollack will be using the new Spanish Room as soon as the desks and chairs are available.
Morning arrival is going a little more smoothly. A few reminders:
* Pull up to the orange cone if you are first in the string of cars. Please Do Not Stop in Front of the Main Door. We want to be able to get as many cars as possible into the drop off area to alleviate back-up onto 71st Street.
* Do Not let your kids get out of the car on the driver’s side. They must then cross in front of your car. This can be dangerous!
* If you are going to walk in with your children, please park in the north lot so no one is walking between cars to slow the flow of traffic.
v Hopefully everyone was very successful in learning their Spell-a-Thon words for today’s tests. This weekend students should begin collecting their pledges! This is a true win-win fundraiser: the kids learn their words and the school benefits financially!
v Please talk to your children about “respiratory etiquette”. Make sure they cough or sneeze into their “elbow”, use Kleenex, and dispose of Kleenex properly.
v Please keep students home if they are running a temperature with respiratory problems.
v Please stress good hand-washing techniques at home so that they will do the same thing at school. Mrs. Hipskind and Mrs. Hoffman, who are nurses, will be here the week of September 14th to instruct children on proper hand-washing techniques and respiratory etiquette. More information is available at the CDC website www.flu.gov
v Please remember that you can buy SCRIP at school on Friday mornings during arrival. Please park in the back lot if you are coming in to purchase SCRIP. SCRIP will also be sold this weekend after some of the Masses.
v 8th Graders will be selling Entertainment Books to raise money for their trip to Washington, D.C. in the Spring. These coupon books cost $30, but if you use coupons 2 or 3 times you recoup this investment and can save hundreds of dollars more. They will also be selling gift and food items from a catalogue, as well as wrapping paper Please consider helping them with this sale.
v Please return the “All Inclusive Field Trip Permission Form” that came home in the first take home envelope. This gives your permission for your children to go on every field trip. Details about each trip will come home just prior to the field trip. Without this permission slip on file, they cannot get on the buses.
v Remember that Monday, September 7th is Labor Day. Enjoy this holiday with your families!
