FOCUS Epiphany Cathol i c Schoo l
The mission of Epiphany Catholic School is to educate children to become responsible adults living out Christian values and Catholic
faith. This is achieved by emphasizing excellence in academics, personal growth, and spiritual development in Christ. The cooperation and partici-
pation of both the parish and school communities are essential to this endeavor.
Dear Parents,
I would like on behalf of the faculty, staff, and students to express our gratitude and appreciation for your support and many kindnesses this past
year. It is when we work together and support one another that we are able to reap the many benefits that are offered to us. I thank you for all you
did to make this year such a positive experience. I also want to thank our teachers and staff for their dedication to our school families. We are
blessed as a school community to be able to share our faith with each other. May this always be a source of strength and courage for us.
I hope the summer affords you the opportunity for some rest and relaxation. It is important to slow our hectic pace. Wherever you travel this
summer, I would ask that you are conscientious about your Sunday mass attendance. It is important that our body and soul receive their needed
renewal and refreshment.
Summer Prayer
Father, Creator of all, Thank You for summer!
Thank You for the warmth of the sun and the increased daylight.
Thank You for the beauty I see all around me
and for the opportunity to be outside and enjoy Your creation.
Thank you for the increased time I have to be with my family and friends,
and for the more casual pace of the summer season.
Draw me closer to You this summer.
Teach me how I can pray
no matter where I am or what I am doing.
Warm my soul with the awareness of Your presence
and light my path with Your Word and Counsel.
As I enjoy Your creation, create in me
a pure heart and a hunger and a thirst for You. Amen
Know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Have a wonderful summer.
Sincerely,
Sister Margaret Fagan, IHM
Principal
PLEASE KEEP THIS FOCUS HANDY SO THAT YOU HAVE ACCESS TO IMPORTANT INFORMATION & DATES FOR THE BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR.

HEALTH & IMMUNIZATION
Remember to send us your updated
health and immunization records: If your child is a new student If your child is entering Kindergarten If your child is entering 7th grade These records must be in prior to the first day of class, or the student will not be allowed to stay in school until the records are obtained.
Morning Drop Off
All parents are asked to make their way off
campus by 7:40 in order to have the students
prepared for prayer and the beginning of the
school day. The classroom with 25 students is
not the best time and place to speak with a
teacher about a concern. It is important that
our teachers are preparing themselves and
the students for the school day. Your coopera-
tion is greatly appreciated.
