Book covers

Through trial and error, we have discovered that the “stretchy” cloth book covers (including the JUMBO size) are damaging our textbooks. They cause the binding of the books to tear away from the pages.

Therefore, we are asking that you use paper grocery bags, sturdy wrapping paper, or some other sturdy paper to cover your child’s books.

All books must be covered by Tuesday, September 7!

Important Upcoming Dates:

  • Monday, September 6- Labor Day, No school
  • Tuesday, September 7- Mass at school- 8:45 AM
  • Thursday, September 8- Open House: 7:00 PM
  • Friday, September 9- No School, Staff Development
 Have a great weekend!
