Payment for non-fulfilled hours was expected by May 23 in order for students to participate in any end of the year activities, which includes all 8th grade graduation week activities, including receipt of the final report card..

Volunteers are needed to help clean out and organize the teacher supply room. A recent visit from the fire department leaves us having to remove anything within 24 inches of the ceiling, which will be quite a job! Please contact Mrs. Regan and we will arrange a date and time that works best for all volunteers.

Thank you for volunteering your time to our students and our school!

All student cell phones are to be OFF and in a backpack at ALL TIMES. If they are seen by a teacher, they will be confiscated and parents will be required to retrieve the cell phone from Mrs. Regan.

Please note, our Extended Day Care Program has a phone number to be called when trying to reach the director after the school office has closed. The number is 969-6617.

A reminder that for the safety of all children, carline is not the place for socializing or exiting vehicles. Please help us ensure all children are safely picked up and our car line runs smoothly. Thank you!

We have students in our school with severe peanut allergies, please refrain from sending class/birthday treats to school that contain peanuts. Thank you!

Please remember that for everyone's safety, teachers are supervising children during car line and cannot be speaking with parents regarding their children at this time. If you need to speak with your child's teacher, please make an appointment or wait until car line is over. Also, please remember if you come through car line, do not exit your vehicle as this slows down the entire line. Thank you for your cooperation!

Fifteen middle school students worked hard first trimester to learn how to create a website. They didn't use any fancy program that does the work for them; they wrote the HTML code themselves! You are invited to view their creativity and designs on the Mount Carmel website. Creating Your Own Website will be offered again next fall to the Middle School students.

Thank you to all of you who have signed up for E-SCRIP! We are at about 75% school-wide participation and have almost tripled our monthly contribution income from this campaign for sign-ups! Thank you to Annette and Mike Shimada for all of their work on helping get our families registered. If you have not yet signed up, you will be receiving a phone call of assistance, as E-SCRIP participation is obligatory this year as part of your tuition contract. All students who signed up an extra supporter will be receiving a Free Dress Pass. Again, we truly appreciate your support of our fundraisers as they are the only way that we can continue to offer all of our specialist programs!

Thanks for your support!
