Principal Post, May 23, 2024
Dear Parents,
I apologize this is a day late. I got it started, but that was it for Wednesday. It’s a busy time of the year!
Best Day Ever Rescheduled
· The forecast for tomorrow is 100% chance of rain and 25 MPH winds. Not a good situation for a field full of large inflatables!
· We are postponing the Best Day Ever until Wednesday, May 29 to be a part of our Field/Fun Day activities.
· Out of Uniform - To soften the blow, students may wear Spirit Wear tops with their gym uniform bottoms (Gr 4-8) or (K-3) appropriate length shorts. If your child doesn't have a St. Paul Spirit Wear t-shirt, they may wear a blue, gold, or yellow t-shirt. Any of the past field day shirts, Panther Player musical shirts, or band t-shirts will work as Spirit Wear.
ESA Application Reminder
If you received an ESA last year, you are automatically eligible for the 2024-2025 school year. Please make sure you apply again before 11:59 PM on June 30 or you will miss out.
