Dear Parents and Guardians,

Congratulations to all our second graders who received the Sacrament of Reconciliation this weekend!
 
In November our school parents were invited to take a survey regarding the Catholic Identity of St. Cletus School. Approximately 20% of our families responded. The top three parent categories expressed that we pray together as a school community, we display symbols of our Catholic faith throughout our school, and that the teachings of the Catholic Church are known to all students along with the teachings of Jesus.  In all areas, we scored above average in the survey.  We are proud that our Catholic Identity is so strong!
 
In preparation for Catholic Schools Week, our 7th and 8th grade have been working hard during TLC on creating a virtual tour of our school; this tour is also linked on the parent page.  Please check out our school! 

 
We invite St. Cletus families to join us for Mass on Sunday at 9:30 a.m. and then our open house from 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. on Sunday.  Students should show their Cardinal pride and wear their school uniforms.  See you there!
In Peace,

Lauren Lewandowski
St. Cletus School, Principal
