Principal’s November Message:

“Lest we Forget”
The souls, the saints, the soldiers
Of our dearly departed.

As a community in Christ we are blessed to be able to call upon the strength of those who have passed on to be with the Lord. The students of St. Gregory are invited to name their dearly departed (by writing names for the display) and to remember in prayer, all those who have died.
Please join us at our “All Souls / All Saints Day & Remembrance Celebrations.

We strongly encourage you to attend the interview to maintain solid communication with your child’s teacher regarding their progress.



Parking Lot
A REQUEST FOR PARENTS AND VISITORS TO STAY OUT OF THE STAFF PARKING LOT DURING SCHOOL HOURS. We want to ensure that there is no unnecessary traffic at our peak times to avoid any mishaps. We have plenty of parking on the street. We appreciate that we all have busy lives and are at times “running late” but we insist that you not enter the parking lot even for “a few minutes”. Thank you for your consideration on this matter.
