Welcome to the 2021-2022 School Year


Dear Parents of 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Grade Students,

We hope you have been enjoying your summer with your families. As we plan for the upcoming 2021-2022 school year, we want to assure you that, while no one can predict what lies ahead, we are committed to providing a quality Catholic education for your children.

With that in mind, a great deal of thought and planning has been put into the year ahead. Mrs. DeGroot, Mrs. Bartosch and Mrs. Van Helvoirt will be teaming up to provide a top notch education for all children in grades 2, 3 and 4. 
  • Each grade will have a homeroom and a homeroom teacher that the students will begin and end their day with.
    • 2nd Grade - Mrs. DeGroot 
    • 3rd Grade - Mrs. Bartosch 
    • 4th Grade - Mrs. Van Helvoirt 

Please know that each of us feels blessed to be a part of a fantastic team of dedicated teachers and staff members . For us, teaching is not only immeasurably rewarding and fulfilling, but it is truly a vocation, a calling that we feel is an integral part of our lives.  

Throughout the year, your children (and your families) will be in our prayers, both in our classrooms as well as in our homes. As teachers, we ask that you keep us in your family prayers as well. God's blessings to you as we embark on the upcoming school year. We truly look forward to working with your children!

Sincerely,
Mrs. DeGroot, Mrs. Bartosch & Mrs. V
an Helvoirt
