For parents new to St. Mary School, this is the first copy of APPLE BYTES our monthly newsletter. The newsletter is published monthly with more in-depth information. Each week an update of news is also published and is referred to as the APPLE UPDATE. Both publications can be accessed online. We ask that you request the newsletter be sent via e-mail if possible. This helps our “Go GREEN” efforts and also with reducing costs of printing and paper. These publications and other information are sent out every Wednesday. Please look online or in your child’s book bag on this day.

We have a new lunch schedule this year that involves recess before lunch. Research suggests that students eat better if recess is scheduled before lunch so we are giving it a try this year. The younger grades tend to rush and not eat their lunch as well when they are anxious to go outside. Parents who have children in grades K to 3 should pack a hearty snack especially if your child is not a breakfast eater. We are currently looking into providing a breakfast snack for students who would like to purchase a yogurt, breakfast bar or juice when they arrive at school. More information will follow.

If you have placed an order with Schoolbelle’s for uniforms and have not received it, it is probably because you sent your order in late. Each order takes several weeks to process especially girls plaid skirts. We ask that you place your order several weeks in advance because Schoolbelle’s, in trying to be cost effective for you, will not produce a surplus supply. Also….
