MR. VANCE’S NEWS

Dear parents and guardians, It is hard to believe that the summer is quickly coming to a close and the 2018-2019 school year is about to begin. The staff is busily preparing the building for another banner year, and, currently, we have 1048 students enrolled; what a blessing! A year ago, I was fortunate to attend the Holy Land Pilgrimage with a number of St. Ignatius talented and exciting teachers and staff. I did not know then that I would be joining this remarkable team. God had a plan for me that started over a year ago, and I am blessed to serve here. Over the last few months, I have been transitioning to St. Ignatius through meetings with Mr. Reilly and Mrs. Sieve, the School Committee, the staff, and with our new Pastor, Fr. Geoff. I have received nothing but warmth, care, guidance, and respect. Through these meetings, I have been able to begin to piece together a picture of how the school was run and the great things that happen here. I want to reaffirm that I am committed to the six Core Values that guide us in our decision making, instruction and religious formation. 1. Our relationship with God and the Catholic Faith provides a string foundation, instilling ethics, morals, and the love of Jesus Christ. 2. We are focused on the development of the whole child and their attainment of their God given gifts: spiritually, academically, physically, emotionally, morally, and socially. 3. We embrace all of God’s children and celebrate our diversity. We strive to always emulate and live up to the greatest commandment, “To love your neighbor as yourself.” 4. We model and practice stewardship as we care for our school, parish, community and world. We value using our time, talents, and treasure to achieve our goals and the building of the kingdom of God. 5. We are committed to continuous improvement in all areas.

6. We create and cultivate a community that is welcoming and respectful. We value the community and its ability to instill the ideals of volunteerism, practicing good citizenship, and demonstrating our love for Jesus Christ. The 2018-2019 school year theme is “We Are Many Parts”. St. Paul shared this imagery as he explained the value and importance of all parts who form the Body of Christ. In his letter to the Corinthians he states, “There is one body, but it has many parts and all its many parts make up one body. It is the same with Christ. We were all baptized by one Holy Spirit. And so we are formed into one body. If one part suffers, every part suffers with it. If one part is honored, every part shares in its joy. You are the body of Christ. Each one of you is a part of it.” During this year, students and staff will take time to better understand what St. Paul was speaking about, but also practicing caring for all parts of the Body of Christ through kinds words and deeds.

I ask for your prayers for all of our students, staff and families as we begin the school year. May this school year be a time of strengthening our skills, using our God given talents, respecting all people, and a time of dedicated and meaningful prayer to better the world we live. I look forward to meeting you and your children and celebrating their many accomplishments. In Christ’s Peace, Kevin Vance Principal

SCHOOL NEWS WILDCATS ON THE MOVE

Wildcats on the Move is back again this year, and all students are encouraged to participate. We will be recording miles for this school year as well as lifetime miles. For those who are new to the school, the goal of our WOTM program is to promote physical fitness and to offer students another healthy option at recess by walking, running, or wheelchair rolling on our track. Each lap of the outer loop is about ½ mile. Recess volunteers and staff will keep track of the miles during school hours. Under adult supervision, students are also encouraged to log miles on their own. In order for laps to count outside of school hours, students need to submit a note or mile voucher stating their name, HR, grade, number of miles, and a parent/guardian’s signature. Miles may be logged on any formally measured track. Look for new members of the 10, 50, 100 and 250 Mile Clubs listed in The Wildcat Wire each week. If you would like to help on the walking track during the school day, please contact Mrs. Lori Anderson at landerson@saintischool.org. We would also like to congratulate the following students who reached new milestones last spring. Rachel B., Samuel E., AnnaGrace G., Samuel K., Christopher K., Dirk K., Sydney K., Nolan L., Bradley B., Ella N., Jonathon W., Jack W., Natalie G., Trey H., and Grant S. all reached the 10 Mile Club, earning their first “foot”!

STUDENT BADGES Students in grades 1-8 who are NEW to St. I’s should stop by the School office during the Ice Cream Social to have your photo taken. Kindergarten “frog” badges will be in the classrooms. Badges are to be kept in the classrooms and are a great way to help everyone to get to know each other. These badges will also be used in the cafeteria for lunch purchases and the library to check out books. If students forget their name badge, temporary sticky nametags are available in the school office. During the school year, if a badge is lost, replacement badges must be purchased for $5.00 in the school office GROUP LEADERS AND COORDINATORS If your group or organization would like to set up an informational table at the Ice Cream Social, please contact Marija Dunatov-Essen at marijadunatov@gmail.com by Friday, August 17.

EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION As part of statewide protocol, we would like to advise you of our policies concerning parents in regards to Emergency/Safety Procedures. This is not to alarm you, but to let you know that we are prepared with a plan if the need arises. We also practice these plans without prior notice and need your cooperation. Your child’s safety is our TOP priority. The following steps are in place for these emergencies. CALAMITY DAYS You can check the St. I’s website where we will post any change from the calendar as the first item under NEWS. We will also activate our notification system as soon as possible. Please make sure the school office has ALL current addresses and phone numbers on file. We use our system to send a recorded message to home phone numbers.

If school is cancelled due to weather conditions, we follow Northwest’s plan. School will either be closed or we will operate on a two hour delay. We will activate our emergency contact system using contact information in Powerschool. This information may also be found on our website, TV, radio, or the TV station’s website. Listen or watch for Northwest Local Schools. In the media, you will NOT hear or see “St. Ignatius School” except in very rare circumstances. In the event that there needs to be an early dismissal, the oldest student enrolled in school will call a parent to determine how they will get home. We need to be sure arrangements have been made so no one arrives home unsupervised without the parent’s consent. Buses will run their routes as usual unless you are notified. TORNADO/SEVERE THUNDERSTORM If there is a Watch issued for our area, we will dismiss as usual. If there is a Tornado Warning, we will not release students until it is cleared. (We will locate to a designated safe area in the building and no one will be released.) If there is a Severe Thunderstorm Warning, we will use our best judgment to decide if the schedule needs to be interrupted. When possible, we will post emergency and safety action on our website. LOCKDOWN A lockdown is necessary if an internal or external threat is present. School is completely secured which means that no one will be allowed in or out, including parents. Signs will be posted on all outside doors, 911 will be called, and the Parish Office will be notified. If the lockdown lasts for more than 30 minutes, information will be posted on the saintischool.org website. HAZMAT/SHELTER-IN-PLACE In the unlikely event of a chemical, biological, nuclear, or explosive threat, HAZMAT/Shelter-in-Place action is taken. The school will be completely sealed from outside pollutants and we will be stocked with a supply of water and food. Signs will be posted on all outer doors and emergency personnel will be contacted. If necessary, we have established relationships with several other schools in the area where we may transport the students.
