Shed Some Light

SHEDSOMELIGHT
Christ Our Savior Catholic School

We journey through Lent together. We ask God to help us keep our Lenten promises through the next few weeks. Let the love of our family remind us that God’s help is always with us.

The students and staff attend a Lenten Prayer Service every week to remind them of the need for reconciliation. Our prayer has centered on the themes of “Loving One Another,” “Healing Our Hearts,” “Sharing Our Light,” and this week “Sharing Living Water.” At each prayer service, every classroom receives parts/patterns of that week’s theme to be placed on their Lenten bulletin board to be completed in the six weeks of Lent.

A very important part of our academic journey will take place the week of March 3-Terra Nova Standardized Testing. Grades 1-7 will participate in the testing. We encourage all families to make sure that students get their required hours of sleep and eat a good breakfast before coming to school. Students will be working very hard to complete the testing during the week and need lots of rest and energy.

Congratulations to several of our students who have won special recognitions over the past few weeks:
Jenna Santacaterina-Grade 8 for her award from the VFW for her essay in the Patriot’s Pen Youth Competition. The theme was, “Why I Am an American Patriot.” At a special luncheon, Jenna received a Certificate of Merit and a monetary gift. Her essay will now be submitted for state competition.
Jorian Robinson-Grade 8, Douglas Roach-Grade7, and Julie Whitehair-Grade 6 who competed in The Times Spelling Bee on Saturday, February 23.
Petra Ibarra, Gabriella Pierre-Louis, and Magdalena Ahearn who were the December-January P.O.P. (Positive Opportunities Program) winners in the school.

Please keep in your prayers our second graders who are parishioners of St. Andrew Parish as they make their First Reconciliation on March 5.

God’s Blessings,

Ms. Cindy Rogers
Mr. Matthew Lungaro

Dear Parents/Guardians/Students:

As we reach the midpoint of Lent, I hope that it is a spiritual time for you and your family.

We had well over fifty phone calls on Tuesday asking if we were open due to the snow. Please remember to check the following information sources to find out about school closure.

It is the individual parent’s responsibility to check the following radio and television stations for school closure due to inclement weather: WGN Radio 720 AM, WBBM Radio 780 AM, CBS Channel 2, NBC Channel 5, ABC Channel 7, WGN Channel 9, FOX network Channel 32, and CLTV cable. You can check online at  HYPERLINK "http://www.emergencyclosings.com" www.emergencyclosings.com or call (847) 238-1234 and use our phone number as an ID. You can register to have info sent to you by visiting the website.   

There will be no school tomorrow, Friday, February 29 due to a faculty inservice. 

Today we celebrated our African American History Month Liturgy. We were privileged to have Mrs. Prom, one of our parents who teaches African music and dancing, play the drums for us. It was a wonderful opportunity for the children to hear African music here in church.

The Illinois Transportation Reimbursement sign up sheet is now located in the school office for those parents who live 1½ miles or more away from school. You will need to bring the following pieces of information with you to fill out the form: Name of parent/guardian, address, social security number of that same parent/guardian, number of pupils being claimed, and the claim amount (see formula below).  The deadline for filling out this form is Friday, May 30, 2007. No exceptions can be made after 5.30.08.  To calculate the claim amount for the Reimbursement, take your mileage one way from home to school and multiply it by 4. Then multiply that amount of miles by .485 cents per mile. Multiply this number by the amount of days the child was driven to school. We are in school 176 total days.  The following statements are included in my directions from the State:
“The name must match the name printed on your social security card.”
“Reimbursement will not be issued without the social security number.”
“You may claim reimbursement for your child(ren) only.”

Terra Nova testing will begin this Monday, March 3 for grades 1-7. Please try not to schedule any doctor/dentist appointments that will keep your child out of school during testing week. Please be sure to prepare your child for the tests by having him/her:

• get plenty of sleep/rest
• eat a healthy breakfast.
• bring two sharpened #2 pencils with erasers.
• bring a snack if directed by the teacher.
• arrive on time; no child will be admitted to class once testing begins at approximately 8:10 A.M. He/she will be allowed to enter once the class has a break but that missed test will have to be administered at a later date.

This past Tuesday, we sponsored a $1 dress down day to raise money for the Y-Me Cancer Research. Thanks to your generosity, we were able to donate $631 to this worthy cause.

We will be hosting an Open House this Wednesday, February 27 from 9:00 A.M. to 2:00 P.M. and again from 6:30 – 8:00 P.M. that same evening. If you know of any parents who are shopping for a school for their children, please refer them to this Open House. Personal testimonials are very powerful tools. Also, please know that you are always invited to visit the school to see the wonderful activities and learning that is taking place each and every day.

The students are gearing up for the Terra Nova tests, our standardized testing program, which will be administered during the first weeks of March. Over the years, the students have improved their scores year gradually. These tests are a snapshot of a child’s progress and can be a helpful tool in terms of seeing the school as a whole. School parents also receive a Home Report in which they can compare their child’s individual scores with that of the rest of the children in their grade for each subject. We pray for their success on these tests and their continued success in school.

Many of our children who graduate go on to Catholic high schools in the area. Seton, Marian, Mt. Carmel, De la Salle, De Sales, and Marist all report back to us periodically to inform us of our graduates’ success when they get to high school. We also get letters from T.F. North and Thornridge as well. One of the barometers of an elementary school’s effectiveness is seeing that its graduates succeed in high school. Christ Our Savior School is doing a fantastic job of preparing these young men and women to thrive at that level.

The teachers will be spending the day this Friday, February 29 at a workshop on differentiated instruction. They will be exploring innovative ways to adjust instruction so that learner success occurs.

With God’s Blessings,

Mr. Matthew Lungaro
Ms. Cindy Rogers

We are now well on our way into the third quarter. Every effective school has regular ways to communicate with parents who are the primary educators of their children. We at Christ Our Savior Catholic School believe this to be true. On Thursday, February 21, we will have a day dedicated to Parent-Teacher Conferences. Our first conference took place back in November and the teachers are now planning on meeting once again with all the parents. This conference takes place at the midpoint of the third quarter in which the Progress Reports will be discussed and distributed to parents. It will give the child impetus to keep moving forward in the right direction or time to refocus and adjust so that he or she will find success when the report card goes home several weeks later.

Our children here at Christ Our Savior Catholic School understand that they are part of larger communities in which they call home. Our students are drawn from South Holland, Calumet City, Dolton, Riverdale, Burnham, Lansing, Harvey, Lynwood, Country Club Hills, University Park, Crete, Markham, Posen, Richton Park, Matteson, Hammond, Dyer, and Chicago. We regularly give monetary donations, non-perishable food items, and other supplies to worthy causes in these communities. In another effort to show this unity, we will be sponsoring a $1 Dress Down Day on February 26 in which all proceeds will go directly to the Y-Me Cancer Fund. If you would like to participate, please drop off any donations to the front office.

We have only one week left of our final fundraiser of the year which includes many products including World’s Finest Chocolate. If you are interested in purchasing some products, please call the school office for more information. 

With God’s Blessings,
