September 15 Principal's Letter

September 2015

Dear San Felipe Families,

A warm welcome to all of our new and returning families to San Felipe De Neri School.  We continue to service the Old Town Community with our pre-k through eighth grade program. This year we were able to offer a full and half time pre-k program. This rich Catholic tradition has been in existence since 1881.

Our school day starts with Morning Prayer in the multi-purpose room at 8:00 am and gym doors open at 7:55 am. Students also have opportunities to make daily announcements and report on any athletic events or fundraisers. Families are always welcome to participate in our morning and show support.

We encourage families to join us on Tuesday for our weekly mass at 8:45 am at San Felipe De Neri Church with Rev. Dennis Garcia.

I encourage any family member to get involved with our volunteer sign up. Your help is always welcomed and appreciated. The volunteering also applies to our sports program. The athletic program is strictly parent volunteers and in need of your support.

All families should be aware of our Sycamore Education Program. Ninety percent of our communication involves this program and keeps parents up to date on any changes and daily activities. It is a great way to communicate with your child’s teacher on a weekly basis. If any of you are having difficulty using this app. please inform the office.

We ask that all families fill out a School Lunch Application and return to the office as soon as possible.  Applications turned in help with our Title I & II funding. All information obtained will remain confidential.

Legal Notice:

The Archdiocese of Santa Fe and San Felipe de Neri School, Albuquerque, comply with the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) by providing access for the review of the Management Plan at this school.  The Management Plan is kept in the Principal’s office and will be updated as various situations develop and inspections are completed.  Arrangements may be made with the Principal of the school for review of these materials.  Any questions may be directed to the Principal at the school or the Director of General Services at the Archdiocese of Santa Fe.
