CHRIST OUR SAVIOR CATHOLIC SCHOOL – West Campus
Weekly Parent/Guardian/Student Newsletter
6.5.08
Dear Parents/Guardians/Students:
This final principal bulletin of the year will contain many notes of thanks to people who have helped Christ Our Savior run smoothly and effectively through the years.
I want to take this opportunity to thank the people who work diligently and tirelessly on behalf of your children at this school – the teachers. As in the spiritual hymn, “We are Called,” the teachers act with justice, love tenderly, serve one another, and walk humbly with God. I thank them on behalf of myself and your children for their countless hours, days, and years devoted to helping children learn.
I want to thank the administrative team: Ms. Cindy Rogers, my fellow principal at the east campus; Ms. Gerry Thomas, the former executive principal; Father Tom Cabala, the former executive pastor; and Father Pat Lyons, the current executive pastor. I appreciate their guidance, leadership, collaborative attitude, and friendship through the years.
I would like to thank the many parents through the years who have helped contribute to the overall success of Christ Our Savior Catholic School. Whether you volunteered to help with a special event, chaperone a field trip, or lent a helping hand when needed, your generosity is appreciated.
The secretary of the west campus Mrs. Shulz needs to be recognized for helping me with keeping all things administrative running efficiently and effortlessly. Thank you.
There are many other people who need to be recognized for their tremendous efforts to make Christ Our Savior the wonderful school that it is today: Mrs. Jamrozy, the business manager for her upbeat and industrious attitude. For the teacher aides, extended day workers, hot lunch providers, and maintenance workers for supporting the school wonderfully in their capacity. It can’t work unless it’s a team effort.
The priests of the founding parishes, their secretaries, and the east campus secretary are all deserving of recognition for helping Christ Our Savior operate spiritually, administratively, as well as financially.
I want to thank the newly formed Board of Specified Jurisdiction for their time and energy and wish all of them the best of luck as they continue to work on behalf of Christ Our Savior.
I want to take this opportunity to thank some parent volunteers: Mr. Rivera for volunteering every single day this year in the lunchroom and at recess. I want to thank all of the parents who are Athletic Board members or who coach a sport or help make those extracurricular activities possible for the children. I thank Mr. and Mrs. Palmer for volunteering in the lunchroom as well. The children, faculty, and staff appreciate your efforts and hope you come back next year and volunteer your time and talents.
Now onto other important items:
Last week’s Eighth Grade Awards Ceremony was a tremendous success. One of the parent volunteers, Mrs. Evans, accidentally left her black leather jacket overnight and it is now missing. If anyone knows where it might be, please call the school office with that information. If anyone accidentally picked it up, please return it to the school office. Thank you for your help with this matter.
The Cubs have the best record in baseball and are in first place. Ok, I’ll be fair and balanced. Go Sox.

Important Financial Notes:
Page 21 of the Parent Handbook states “all final late payments, those made after May 15, must be made in cash, money order, or certified check. The final report card or school records will be withheld until the total balance is paid.” For this year only, as a courtesy, we will extend that date to Friday, May 16. “All bills and fees including fundraising obligations not paid my May 16 will be considered late. A late fee of 10% will be assessed between May 16 and June 1 for any unpaid balance. After June 1, a 20% late fee will be assessed on any unpaid balance. The final report card and school records will be withheld until the total balance is paid. No money will be collected on the last day of school.”
