STUDENT INSURANCE: Parents, I am pleased to tell you that your child
will have additional insurance coverage next year through an Archdiocesan
group insurance plan. This comes at no added cost to you!
The plan covers all students for injuries caused by
accidents occurring:
* On school premises during the hours and on the days when the school’s
regular classes are in session, including one hour immediately before and
one hour immediately after regular classes, while the Covered Person is
continuously on the school premises.
* Participating in or attending school sponsored and directly
supervised activities including interscholastic activities and
non-contact spring football (except interscholastic high school tackle
football).
* Traveling directly and without interruption to or from home and
school for regular attendance and to or from school and off campus
locations to participate in school sponsored and directly supervised
activities, provided such travel is arranged by and is at the direction
of the school
* Traveling in school vehicles at any time.
* Covers Emergency Sickness up to $1,000 maximum. Emergency
Sickness means a sickness of such nature that failure to get immediate
medical care could put the person’s life in danger or cause serious harm
to bodily functions.
* The Plan generally (there are some inside limitations) covers 80% of
Reasonable and Customary charges up to $25,000 per injury and is excess
to or secondary to other insurance (if applicable). There is NO
deductible.
This description of coverage is intended as a brief
summary of the Plan. Myers-Steven & Toohey & Co, Inc. is
the insurance carrier. They will forward additional information to
be provided to covered students in the fall of 2006.
SPRING FEVER: We are currently dealing with some misbehaviors in
our school bathrooms. There have been a number of incidences of
peeing on the floor (boy’s bathroom), writing on the walls of the stalls
(girls’ bathroom), and “atomic flushing,” (boy’s bathroom).
Since I had to ask, for your information, an “atomic flush” is when you
flush the toilet or urinal twice successively resulting in an explosive
backwash! Yes, this is a new one on me, too!
We are taking measures to correct this problem and
would appreciate your input from home. I think it is
important to explain to your kids that “tattling” is wanting to get
someone in trouble, and “reporting” is wanting to get help for someone or
help for yourself. There is a distinct difference. We’d like
our kids to take the higher ground and stand up for the standard we’ve
set for our students. Your help and influence is always
appreciated.
FITNESS CHALLENGE: As you already know, we moved the Fitness Challenge
to the springtime to spread out the fundraisers a little more, and
hopefully, count on better weather. We will kick off the start of
the Fitness Challenge at an assembly today at 1:45. Amy Marconi and
company will give the kids a jumpstart to soliciting sponsors.
Please, once again, help us motivate our kids to make this another
whopping success.
ENROLLMENT IS CLIMBING! For the 05-06 school year, enrollment stands at 227
students. For the 06-07 school year, enrollment is at 223 students
with a good number of interested families continuing the process for
registration. We will have four interested students visiting our
school this week. I continue to welcome new families to view our
school and learn more about our program. If you know of anyone,
please tell them I’ll roll out the royal carpet for them and give them
our #1 super-duper sales pitch and tour!
REMEMBER, 6th graders leave for Outdoor School
on April 2nd!
Have
a great Spring Break everyone!
