St. Benedict School

Cafeteria Practices: SBS has always had an allergy table in the cafeteria to isolate students from risk from other student lunches. This has not changed.

In addition, although the cafeteria staff makes every effort to buy peanut free products, they cannot guarantee that the products they use have not been processed in facilities and/or with equipment that has come in contact with peanuts. There have been recent changes to the notification on packaging of products that we have bought in the past, but in general, the products we are purchasing and our practices have not changed.

I hope this helps to clarify any misconceptions, but as always, feel free to contact me if you have further questions.

For those of you who are new to our school, I just wanted to let you know that we announce our "Students of the Month" for each class, and one for the entire school, at the first Friday Masses.  I will make this announcement at conclusion of the 9 am Mass on Friday, October 6, 2017.  

We will also be inducting the Student Council Officers at the end of Mass.  Please feel ree to join us for these celebrations.

Today Mrs. Dulin's PreK class visited the makerspace to experiment with building.  We used plastic cups and 3x5 cards and worked in groups to build the tallest tower.  We also built pyramids and cities. Future Engineers in the making!

Thank you for coming to Back to School Night.  I hope you enjoyed seeing the new Science Lab and meeting your child's teachers.          
 

Home reports have come and during the very busy start of school, have been sorted and readied for delivery on Monday, September 11th. Your child will receive a sealed envelope and it will be requested of them that they do not break the seal, but instead give the envelopes directly to you.  An information tab will be added to the website and Facebook page which will explain your home report.  You are welcome to discuss scores with teachers at the parent conferences.  The Diocese is appreciative of your patience as they resolved the issues that delayed the reports from the new vendors.  We don't anticipate any further issues in the future.

Our Swap Shop is overflowing with first-rate quality uniforms.  Please come and take a look.  No price tag, just good old fashioned sharing!
