It's wonderful to have the children back at school.  We are excited that our 8th graders will be receiving the sacrament of Confirmation, this Saturday, April 24th  and our second graders will be receiving First Communion on May 1st.  All of their teachers have worked hard to prepare them for the receiving of their sacraments.  Please keep the students in your prayers.

I hope that you enjoyed your break and that remote learning is going well.  We look forward to next Monday. Please read the information found below from our school nurse, Ms. Palumbo.

Attached please find the Stations of the Cross slide show created by our 6th grade students. We worked on an audio component and unfortunately, I was not able to send that version. Rest assure that the 6th graders will be hard at work during the remote week and you will be able to experience what was intended.

A well-deserved break for all is finally here!  I thank you all for your kindness and support through this extraordinary year.  The SPS community continues to work together to make this year a success.

If your child is in need of a Chrome Book for the remote learning week of April 12th- 16th, please let us know by 10am so that we may send it home with them today. If you have already notified us, no need to reach out again. Please email Mrs. Rooney- srooney@spsprinceton.org.

Thank you to all our families who have already completed the re-enrollment process for the 2021-2022 school year. If you have not completed re-enrollment for your child(ren) yet, we ask that you please do so as soon as possible. The deadline to complete re-enrollment was Friday, March 26th. Your cooperation in completing this process is critical to our planning for the upcoming school year.
