SCHOOL NEWS 

Don't Miss Out on Important News!
This is a busy time of year between weather, Catholic Schools Week, Enrollment, and classroom news. Make sure you are checking your email and ClassTag regularly, as well as reading the weekly Eagle Express and checking in on social media so you don't miss anything. Also, make sure your ClassTag has been updated to the latest version with notifications turned on. Refer to the family handbook announcement/communication page for more details about how and when you will receive message.

In the event of inclement weather, check the local news for school closings and keep an eye on our social media. We will also send out a ClassTag message. While we try to get information out as soon as a decision is reached, sometimes those decisions do not get made until early in the morning. Please be patient and know that we are trying to make the best choice for our students, families and staff.

Thank you for sharing our school and celebrating Catholic Schools Week!
Thank you so much to all the families who gave tours, manned tables, and referred friends to our school for Open House this past Sunday! We had a busy afternoon showing other families how St. Eugene provides the education they pray for. Easily, half of the families who stopped by said they were referred by YOU! Please continue to share our school with others. We look forward to extending seats to new Eagles in February! 

Secure your student's seat for next year before we start accepting new students!
Re-Enrollment for current students is open! Applications for siblings of current students and new students is also open. Review of new applications begin in February and offers to new students will be sent in late February, so make sure to secure your spot for next year AND get the early bird discount on your registration fee! Last day to secure your place and pay Early Bird is Feb. 8th!
