Remind me of the dress code...
I'm in a real big hurry after school. Can't I just park where I want?
Don't make it awkward! If you park someplace other than the designated lot for the youngest child in your family/carpool, you will make dismissal longer. For. Every. Body. Take a look at this list:
- If the youngest child is in Preschool or Kindergarten, please park between the school and the gym.
- If the youngest child is in First Grade, please park in the north lot closest to the church.
- If the youngest child is in Second Grade, please park in the north lot closest to White Birch Lane.
- If the youngest child is in Third or Fourth Grade, please park in the south lot.
- If the youngest child is in Fifth through Eighth Grade, please park in the soccer lot.
- If you ONLY have a preschool student, please park in the chapel lot.
(We want to get going, too. We get it!)
My son has a dentist appointment at 3:15 pm right down the street. Can I pick him up from the office at 3:00pm?
Ha! Nope.
The latest early-dismissal time is 2:45 pm. We cannot excuse students from the office once preschool dismissal starts at 2:55 pm and children move around in the parking lots.
If you need to pick up your child early from school, you have two choices - 2:45 pm and before 2:45 pm.
Orthodontist appointment in the morning? Make sure it's not a Mass Day for your kiddo!
We really hate to interrupt Mass. It's a distraction for the students and worshipers and a disruption to the priest. This is why we publish the Mass schedule on the ICD Master Calendar.
- We respectfully ask that families avoid arriving late on the days your child goes to church with his or her classmates at 8:00 am.
- We respectfully ask that you not take your child out of school early on days when we have afternoon all-school Masses. The latest early dismissal on those days will be 1:15 pm.
We forgot lunch...What do we do??
No worries...If you forget to pack a lunch, or you're heading to work and in the rearview mirror, you see your kiddo's lunch in the back seat...Don't make an illegal U-Turn! We will make sure your child is fed! Here is a link to the lunch menu, just in case!
