If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to call the school. It is not
necessary to purchase new supplies each year.
Any supplies from previous years in usable condition are acceptable.
All supplies are to be brought on the first day of school as indicated

Uniform
Reminder
Please label all uniform clothing items
so that they are easier to identify in the gym change rooms or lying around the
classroom. Please protect your investment. Our lost and found fills up very
quickly with shoes and clothing that are often left unclaimed.
A number of students are choosing not to
purchase uniform hoodies/fleeces. The classrooms can be quite cool, especially
in the spring and fall. The only hoodies/fleeces that students may
wear during/between classes are those with the St. Alphonsus logo on the front.
Therefore, it is strongly
recommended that all students purchase uniform hoodies/fleeces.
Thanks for your time and attention to
this list. I am looking forward to
working with your child this year.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Pieczonka
