St. Nicholas School is pleased to announce that we will be holding an In-person, appointment only, Open House on Monday, February 22 from 4 - 8 pm. If you, or anyone you know, is interested in enrolling your child in kindergarten, or any grade, for the 2021-2022 school year, please use this link to reserve your spot. If these times don't work for you, please contact the office and we will see if we can accommodate your request for a different time/date. Spots are limited, so please don't wait too long!!
Your 30 minute visit will include meeting the teacher, signing up for a kindergarten screening time (if visiting kindergarten), visiting the classroom, talking to office personnel and principal regarding next steps and to answer any questions you might have, and an optional tour of the school. We look forward to seeing you on February 22!

Open House Sign up

Welcome back everyone! We were so happy to be able to come back in-person to start our second semester. I hope everyone had an amazing break and wonderful Christmas and New Years.
I also hope everyone saw the updated calendar that was sent out this week. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience it caused. It is also posted in this newsletter if you didn't receive it. Rest assured, we will work with any family who has already made plans to be off and now find that we have school.

We were very excited to get four new students who joined our school after Christmas. Please help me welcome the Summe, Middendorf, and Stockman families to our St. Nicholas School family.

If you know of anyone who might be interested in coming to St. Nicholas School for the 2021-2022 school year, please share our Open House information with them. We are very excited to be able to have an in-person event versus a possible virtual one. It will be by appointment only to ensure social distancing. The link is on this newsletter.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

We are in need of cafeteria volunteers.

Revised School Calendar

Taking several things into consideration, we have decided to make the following adjustments to our 2020-2021 school calendar. I apologize in advance for any complications this causes you and your family. As always, we are more than willing to work with each family to help make these changes doable for everyone.

Monday, February 15 - President's day. WE WILL BE IN SESSION, IN-PERSON, THAT DAY. Sunman has school so their busses are running. Milan has it listed as a make-up day, so I wouldn't plan on Milan bus service this day.
Spring Break - Monday and Tuesday, March 15 & 16 will be virtual learning days. Spring break will be from March 17 - March 26.
End of the Year - Because of President's Day and the two spring break days, our last student day will now be moved up to Friday, May 21st.
Bus Service - Sunman's last student day is May 13. From May 14 until May 21, there will be no Sunman bus service. Milan will continue having service until our year ends.
Again, we will work with all families who have already made plans based on the original calendar. Please just communicate any difficulties with Mrs. Kirschner and your child's teacher.
Thank you for your understanding.

Would your child(ren's) grandparents like to receive our school newsletter each week to see what exciting things are going on at their grandchild's school? They can now receive a newsletter each week without receiving all the other flocknotes regarding school. We have a separate group for SCHOOL NEWSLETTER to be sent out on Fridays. If they would like to be included, please ask them to send their email address to: schooloffice@stnicholas-sunman.org After we put their address into the group, they will receive an email asking for verification. After they verify they are good to go! A cell phone number will work as well.
