The first day of school will open with a special blessing in Assumption Church with Father Daniel Mulcahy. It is mandatory for parents to bring their child(ren) into the church by 8:30 AM and stay with them for a back to school celebration, including blessing of the backpacks, teacher introductions, and PTG information. This program should be completed by 10:00 AM. Students will process into the school with their teachers, except pre-K parents, who are invited to come into school with their child.
