Dear Parents, This week, we begin National Catholic Schools Week, our annual celebration of Catholic education. This year’s theme is “Catholic Schools—Faith, Academics, Service.” What is wonderful about this theme is that the School of the Cathedral already practices these three priorities every day, from kindergarten through Grade 8.
At the School of the Cathedral, our children learn faith—not just the basics of Christianity, but how to have a real relationship with God. They benefit from high academic standards, which help each student reach his or her potential. They also learn the importance of service, both as an expression of faith and as a manifestation of good citizenship. This focus on faith, academics, and service prepares our students for meaningful lives in their families, their communities, and the Catholic Church.
We are proud to offer an education that is distinctive among educational institutions in our community. We are excited to have the opportunity during Catholic Schools Week to share what our students are learning and what they have accomplished.
Also, please join me in saying “thank you” to those who help make our school a success: our teachers, staff, administrators, School Board members, CASPA Board members, parents, and volunteers. Through their dedication and commitment, our students are learning in a culture of faith, academics, and service.
We congratulate our Student Council members—Camilla B., Grant E., Colleen F., Daniel T., and Dennis T.—for sharing what a Catholic education at the School of the Cathedral means to them at all of the Masses this past weekend. We are proud of them and the message that they shared with the parish community.
Thank you for joining us at our Open House and Catholic Schools Week Mass yesterday. Our week of celebration will conclude this Friday, with Student Appreciation Day. Our Student Council came up with a fun dress code for the day. Students (and faculty/staff) will be allowed to show spirit by wearing colors of their favorite sports team—pro, college, or high school. They can wear shirts, sweaters, jerseys, sweatshirts, pants and colors of their favorite team. The preferred shoes are tennis shoes, but Sperries, Docksiders, and Uggs are also acceptable. Flip-flops and sandals are not permitted. Skirts/dresses should be of an appropriate length, and pants should be loose in style.
I hope you enjoy the time you share with us throughout this Catholic Schools Week.

Lunch Menu for
2/6/12- 2/17/12
LUNCH MENU
INFORMATION Due to the large number of IOU's everyday, we
have found it necessary to make some changes to the procedure. In
order to be sure that we can provide the items our students have
pre-ordered, and to simplify the process, any student who needs a
lunch and an IOU will have the choice of a peanut butter & jelly
sandwich & chips/pretzels, or a cheese sandwich & chips/pretzels. The
price for both will be $2.00. Please be assured that no child will go
without a lunch, but the choice will be limited. If you find your
child often has IOU's, we encourage you to consider ordering lunches
in advance.
All lunch menus come by e-mail each Monday.
The menu is also posted on the school website main page as
well as here on the bulletin page. You will need to print the menu and send it
into the Cafeteria at school by the deadline. If you have any
questions, you may reach the Cafeteria by calling 410-464-4084.

Spirit Gloves and Spirit Hats!
Just in time for Catholic Schools Week! Look
for the new spirit gloves and spirit hats being sold by Catherine
Kinkopf (4A) to benefit Haiti. One hundred percent of what
you pay will go to support our partner parish in the Diocese of
Gonaives in Haiti! Gloves are $8 a pair and hats are $7. Order now!
Due to the production time required, only 40 pairs of gloves will be
available. There will be an unlimited supply of the hats. Place your
request in an envelope to the attention of the School Office/
Catherine Kinkopf with all checks being made payable to The School
of the Cathedral. So show your school spirit and support our sisters
and brothers in Haiti at the same time!

Policy Regarding Transporting
Students
Parents, please do
not request that teachers/staff transport your children in their
private vehicles as this is in direct violation of School of the
Cathedral as well as Archdiocesan policy. This applies to giving
children a ride to practices, games, or any other destination.
Faculty and staff have been reminded of this policy, and instructed
to abide by it.
|
Dear Children and Parents:
On behalf of the Service Ministry/Haiti
Partnership Committee, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to
the SCMOQ families who sent in a total of $1032.00 for Friday's tag
day. We are thrilled with your generous contribution!! The money
raised helps to sponsor the upcoming meal packaging event to be held
Sunday, February 12, 2012, from 10:30-12:30 in the school cafeteria.
The 10,000 meals that we will pack that day will go to a small
country in Africa, Burkina Faso. Anyone who is interested in helping
out with this event, please contact Donna McCann (donna.mccann@verizon.net)
Sincerely,
Donna McCann and Brigit Macksey

| SNOW and INCLEMENT
WEATHER POLICY
Please refer
to the Students/ Parents Handbook & Directory.
All official announcements regarding school closings, late openings, early
closings, or emergencies are made in WJZ-TV as well as other local
television stations and radio stations. The School of the Cathedral follows the same procedure as the Baltimore County Public Schools for early dismissal or closing. The
only exception is for late opening.
If Baltimore County opens 1 hour or 2 hours late,
Cathedral will open 1 hour late at 8:55 a.m.
Students may begin to arrive at 8:30 a.m. if necessary. In the event
that, after Baltimore County announces a 2-hour late opening, it then
announces it is closing, all students already at school must be picked up no
later than 10:00 a.m. When Baltimore County announces an early closing, Cathedral will close
accordingly:
1 hour early means that Cathedral will close at 1:45 p.m.
2 hours early means that Cathedral will close at 12:45 p.m.
3 hours early means that Cathedral will close at 11:45 a.m.
Parents should arrive to pick up their children as promptly as possible. The
children will remain in the school lobby or gym under adult supervision
until they are picked up. If there is a concern about road conditions, a
child may leave for the day after the parent reports to the School Office.
At all times it is the parents' decision to send children to school in
adverse weather conditions. Every effort will be made to communicate as
thoroughly as possible with parents regarding early closing. When feasible,
a flier indicating that school may close early due to expected adverse
weather conditions will be distributed to parents at morning drop-off. A
group e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address you provided to the school
also announcing any early closings. Please do not call the School Office or the Parish Center.
SNOW
CLOSINGS E-MAIL ALERT
Since many parents work and do not have access to a
radio or television during the day, we suggest that you sign up with either
WBAL or Schools Out for an e-mail alert on Baltimore County school closings.
Here's how to sign up for Snow Closing Alerts:
For Schools Out go to
http://www.schoolsout.com
Click on "Services" from the menu across the top
Scroll down and select “School’s Out Basic”
which is a FREE e-mail alert service.
Step 1- “Choose the school you want to receive
e-mail notices from”-- Choose Maryland, then choose BALTIMORE COUNTY
PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Step 2- Enter your e-mail address
Hit “Subscribe Me” button at the bottom and
you will be signed up
For WBAL go to http://www.thewbalchannel.com/closings/index.html,
scroll to the bottom and follow the directions for e-mail alerts from WBAL
also using Baltimore County Public Schools as the system for the alert.
CED INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY
If school closes early due to inclement weather (parents must
listen for radio/TV announcements that Baltimore County Public Schools are
closing early), CED will close as follows (late fee of $1.00 per minute
will apply):
- If school closes 3
hours early (at 11:45), CED will close at 1:30.
- If school closes 2
hours early (at 12:45), CED will close at 2:30.
- If school closes 1
hour early (at 1:45), CED will close at 3:30.

School Absences
Absences: If your child is going to be absent or late for school, a parent
must phone in by 8:10 a.m. each day of the absence with the reason for the
absence. Call 410-464-4100, select the option for the main office (#5) and
select the option to leave a message on the absentee line.(#1). Any absence
not reported is considered unexcused.
Homework Pick-Up for Absentees
Homework for absentees will not be available for pick-up until 2:45 p.m.
Please do not request to pick up books, papers, and work earlier than 2:45
p.m. All work will be placed on the shelf outside the office.
|
Please Note: Entry Policy for Late
Students
Students are considered late if they are not in their homeroom by
the 8:05
a.m. bell. If your child enters the building at the bell, he/she is late
and will be required to sign in at the school office. If you are a parent
of a younger child, you may accompany him/her into the building and sign
in on the late sheet. Since attendance will be tracked electronically this
year, it is imperative that each child sign in so that all attendance is
accurate. Children arriving late who do not sign in will be marked absent
for that day. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE STUDENT TO SIGN THE LATE
SHEET, please
review this with your child. |
Morning Drop Off Reminders
During the morning drop off please remember to follow these rules:
• You may not drop off or pick up your children on Amberly Way for
any
reason. This has become a problem with some parents and poses a safety
risk.
• You may not stop and park your car. Please pull up, let your
children get
out, and continue on your way. If you walk your child in, please park your
car in the second lot beyond the numbered faculty spaces.
• You may not pass other cars in the car line. Please wait
patiently for the
car in front of you to pull out.
Thank you for being courteous to others and thank you for your cooperation |

Health News! |
The absentee rate due to illness is quite low at this time and we can only hope it remains that way!
The STOMACH VIRUS is the most frequently reported illness recently, along with occasional fevers, most often with upper respiratory symptoms.
There have been just a few reports of STREP THROAT over the past couple of weeks and a couple had the Rapid Strep Throat Culture that was NEGATIVE but the culture sent out to the lab was POSITIVE. If you are taking your child for a Throat Culture and the Rapid test is negative, it is important to ask the health care provider if a culture is also being sent to the lab.
February is National Children's Dental Health Month so it is a great time to focus on keeping your mouth healthy and making sure you are keeping up with regular dental check-ups. The slogan for this year is: "ROCK YOUR SMILE". Tooth decay can be blamed on sugary soft drinks, acids in foods and beverages, which can erode or dissolve the enamel of the teeth, as well as poor oral hygiene. Form more information go to: www.ada.org.
I am available to answer any questions you may
have or to discuss any special needs or concerns in regards to your
child. Please remember that I cannot administer any
medication at school if you have not had the Authorization
for Administering Medication Form filled out and sent in. You can access the health forms by going to my webpage. You may call me, or leave a message on my voice mail 410-464-4113

Meal Packaging
Event
CMOQ's service committee is sponsoring its
second annual Meal Packaging program in conjunction with Catholic
Relief Services on Sunday, February 12
from 10:30-12:30 in the school cafeteria. Our parish
family will package 10,000 meals for the hungry overseas. Last
year, our meals were sent to Haiti, and this year, they may be
sent to the African nation, Burkina, which is classified as both a
least developed country and a low-income, food deficit country.
WE NEED YOUR HELP! We need to
raise $5000.00 for the grain, vegetables and vitamin supplements
we will package and ship. We are seeking sponsorship for the event
