Catholic Schools Week begins Sunday, January 26th. As part of the week, we will celebrate all the groups that make our Catholic School great. Additionally, students are invited to participate in the theme days which were organized by our Student Council. General Guidelines from the Parent Handbook regarding special dress days: "All clothing shall be within the guidelines of decency and good taste as appropriate for Our Mother of Sorrows Catholic School. Clothing should maintain a level of modesty. All clothing shall be sufficient to conceal undergarments at all times. The same length regulations as stated [in the dress code policy] apply to skirts, shorts, and skorts on no-dress-code days. Any clothing that has reference to drugs, alcohol, considered racist or contains sexual innuendo will not be allowed at school or at any school-sponsored functions, including those occurring after school hours." Sunday: Catholic Schools Week Begins
Pautas generales del Manual para padres sobre días especiales de vestimenta:
"Toda la ropa debe estar dentro de las pautas de decencia y buen gusto, según corresponda para la Escuela Católica Our Mother of Sorrows. La ropa debe mantener un nivel de modestia. Toda la ropa debe ser suficiente para ocultar la ropa interior en todo momento. Las mismas normas de longitud como se indica [en la política del código de vestimenta] se aplica a faldas, pantalones cortos y faldas cortas en días sin código de vestimenta. Cualquier ropa que haga referencia a drogas, alcohol, que se considere racista o contenga insinuaciones sexuales no será permitida en la escuela o en ninguna funciones escolar patrocinada, incluidas las que ocurren después del horario escolar.” Domingo: Comienza la semana de las escuelas católicas
If you have walked around the school lately, you will see the halls filled with beautiful artwork. We have some talented artists here at Our Mother of Sorrows. Well, now their work is on display at the Wilmot LIbrary for all to see. The address is 530 N Wilmot Rd, Tucson, AZ 85710. The artwork is a great sneak peak of the beautiful works of art that will be on display during the S.T.E.A.M. night at the end of January. I hope you and your family enjoy the long weekend. Students in K-8 do not have class on Tuesday, January 21st due to the conferences. The preschool students will have class. As we prepare for next year, I invite all our families to consider making a dollar for dollar tax credit to the Catholic Tuition Support Organization (CTSO). Most of our students receive some financial support from tax credits to attend Our Mother of Sorrows. By designating some or all of your state income tax to CTSO, you are helping to support the children who attend Our Mother of Sorrows. The best part of the donation to CTSO is that it does not cost you anything additional. You are simply telling the state that you want your taxes to go to CTSO in order to help a family afford a Catholic education. Whether you receive funds from CTSO or another tax credit organization, the CTSO donations help to support many of our children. The maximum donation for a person filing as a single person is $1,135. The maximum donation for a person filing as a married couple is $2,269. For more information on how to make a donation, please contact Mr. Arvizu as jarvizu@omosschool.com. Thank you so much for your support of Catholic education through your donation to CTSO! Important Dates:
