Principal Article

Thank you to all who attended our Christmas programs this week. They were wonderful! A very special

thank you goes out to Mrs. Turner and all her volunteers, helpers and the teachers who made both the Tuesday and Wednesday performances so nice. We hope you enjoyed them as much as we did.

On behalf of the St. Matthias Parish and School staffs, we wish you all a Blessed Christmas and a Happy

New Year!

Parking Lot Reminders

Parents/Guardians, it is everyone’s responsibility to ensure our parking lot is safe.

Always park so you can pull forward to leave – never back up your vehicle in the parking lot.

Walk within the yellow pathway in the middle of the lot – never drive through the middle of the

lot. The lot can get backed up – please be patient – we have 260 students leaving at the same time.

Watch your speed – please drive cautiously – there are small children everywhere.

If you enter via Oklahoma Avenue – you should exit via Oklahoma Avenue.

If you enter via Euclid – you should exit via Beloit Road.

Drop off all children in the parking lot – Beloit Road should not be used for drop off.

Winter Weather

It may seem like a long way off, but we need to be aware of winter weather.

Please double check for uniform sweatshirts and sweaters. The school can be drafty in areas and

we want the students to be comfortable.

If there is inclement weather, St. Matthias Parish School will close if Milwaukee Public Schools

close. Please watch the news/radio stations for that information. Please do not call the school or teachers at home.

Please be aware that the St. Matthias Parish may close outside of Milwaukee Public Schools. The

parish has many parishioners who should not be out during inclement weather. They will close if they feel it best serves their clientele.

January 5th - Parental Input Needed

Please mark your calendars to join us Thursday, January 5th at 6:30pm. Home & School will be re-

evaluating its fundraisers and fundraiser calendar for the 2017-2018 school year and would like all the

parental input and help we can get! At the Home & School meeting on January 5th, Home & School will

be reviewing several new fundraisers as well as re-evaluating timing of each fundraisers to ensure we are

able to have the most successful year to help support our school, students, and teachers.

We invite all parents to join us to help improve our fundraisers. Want to see a new fundraiser? Heard of a

great idea another school has done? We need your input!
