April 15, 2021 Dear Parents, 

Graduation is quickly approaching! As our 8^th graders continue their studies on the road to  graduation day, preparations are underway to celebrate accomplishments and wish them well. In  these continued uncertain times, what we know to be certain is our pride in all our graduates and  our desire to make this a special and memorable time for each of them! 

To cover some of the expenses, we are requesting a graduation fee of $175.00 per student, which  includes the cost of the following: 8^th Grade Yearbook, video, cap and gown, graduation t-shirt,  diploma and case, medals and the Eighth Grade Graduation Luncheon to be held here at St.  Patrick School. 

Please forward payment via check or money order (made payable to “St. Patrick School”) by  May 31, 2021.  

We are looking forward to celebrating this exciting milestone with your family. 

Thank you. 

Sincerely, 

Barbara Pellerito Rebecca Darmanin

Just an update on student attire.Student may wear their winter gym uniform. This means that they will not be allowed shorts. They may wear their regular winter uniform at anytime if they feel more comfortable. Just a reminder, only school sweatshirts or spirit wear sweat shirts will be allowed in the classroom. The windows will be open daily for ventilation so students may need an extra layer.
NOTE: As of October 13th, we will begin following the Student Handbook guidelines for uniforms, hair color, haircuts, nail polish, and the like. Please keep in mind that teachers may issue demerits for violations described in the handbook.  

 Grade 8--Physics. With graduation not that far off, eighth graders should keep in mind that there is still plenty of work to be accomplished. In addition to our regular curriculum, which at the present time focuses on electric current and electrical circuits, we are preparing for the NYS Science Exam which will be given on June 7. This involves a lot of review work of science they have learned over the last three years. So, as you can see, the eighth grade classes are far from being done with their academics for the year. They will be quite busy. In addition, Confirmation is coming up this month and this will continue the natural progression of spiritual growth for our young men and woman.



 I would like to update parents on the importance of following our uniform policy. Students should be in winter complete winter uniforms.All details about what constitutes a complete uniform can be found in the opening pages of your child's agenda which was given out on the first day of school. This includes all the information needed, including what may and may not be worn on dress down days, as well as school policy on hair color, makeup, accesories, sweatshirts and nail color. This policy will be strictly adhered to as spelled out in the agenda. Teachers will begin to give out demerits for not following said information.  

At this time, I would also like to update you on some other confusing issues .Students should only be bringing in things discussed in class which are on the supply list. For my class that would be 2 notebooks--1 can be kept at home and brought in when needed- the other should be in class. Obviously pens , pencils, markers and an empty folder. These items can be left in their desk and not transported back and forth. I would also like to see their textbook tomorrow which I will request from time to time. I will be sure to tell the students and post it when they can leave it at home.Once the students get to school their backpack will sit next to their desk until dismissal. They will never have to carry the pack from class to class as in years past.This is pretty straightforward and hopefully, will clear up some confusion. Thanks!  Mr Reina
 
 

Grade 6--Earth and Space Integrated Science
    As we get back to work after our Easter break, my sixth graders will befin to study the dynamics of our planet. This will include, but not limited to, plate techtonics, volcanic activity, earthquakes and tsunamis. It will be quite a fascinating group of topics to focus on.

They will never have to carry the backpack from class to class which is much easier then in year's past. This is pretty straightforward and hopefully, clear up some confusion. Thanks!  Mr Reina
