THANK YOU: We would like to thank the Kindergarten mothers for all the wonderful treats, lunch, and desserts they brought in for the staff last week. Your thoughtfulness is really appreciated. BACK GATE DROP OFF AND PICK UP: The morning drop off at the back gate is a drop off and leave site only, students being dropped off there need to be ready to exit the vehicle once it pulls up and stops at the gate. We ask that parents please do not get out of their vehicle to walk their child to the gate as this backs up the traffic into Church Street. Also, the gate will be opened at 2:55pm for afternoon pick-up, we ask that you please not park in the alley and wait for the gate to be opened. We have already received a warning from the Lodi Police Department about traffic back up and blocking the alley; your cooperation is greatly appreciated. SCHOOL SWEATSHIRT LOGO WEAR: The 2017-2018 school year was the last year of the 3 year transition to the new school logo. All logo wear at this point needs to have the new school logo, sweatshirt and spirit t-shirts bearing the old “StA” logo are not to be worn to school. If your child has an old logo sweatshirt, we ask that you please order a new one. We will be placing an order for sweatshirts next week, please turn in order by Wednesday, Oct. 31st. Sweatshirt orders usually take about 3 weeks from the time the order is placed. Please see the attached order form. YEARBOOK MEETING: The first Yearbook staff meeting will be next Tuesday, Oct. 30th, after school from 3:15-4:00pm. Any 5th-8th grade student interested in helping create this year's yearbook should attend. Students should go to Campus Care at dismissal - Mr. Bennett or Ms. Moules will pick them up from there. ST.
