Dear Saint Andrew Families,
I hope you were able to join us at our 2019 Annual Auction this past Saturday. It was beautiful! A special thank you goes to our Auction Chairs, Mrs. Jennifer Folzenlogen and Mrs. Molly Taylor, and to their team of talented and hard-working auction committee members. Thank you!
Please join us for the celebration of the Mass tomorrow at 8:15 a.m. Our 6th grade students will be in charge of the liturgy. This Friday will be our last “Denim Friday” of Lent. We will conclude our service project, “Educate the Children Honduras,” on this day. We appreciate your $2 donation.
This Sunday, Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord, our 8th grade students will be performing the Passion Play during the 10:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Masses. Thank you for praying for our students and for showing your support by joining us at these Masses.
On a personal note, I received some exciting news this weekend. I am going to be grandmother for the third time in October, God willing. Thank you for praying for our new little one and for his/her two brothers, Ryder and Asher. We are excited to welcome another Macias blessing to the family.
May God bless you and your beautiful families,
Mrs. Macias
☺

We had a great Safety & Security Forum sponsored by the Advisory Council last Thursday, April 4, 2019
(
click here for agenda
)
.
Mike Short with Sabbath Shield Security discussed the partnership with schools and parishes within the diocese. Mike has worked with Saint Andrew Catholic School in regards to our Crisis Management Plan (CMP). The Safety and Security Committee of the Advisory Council has also taken an active role in working with school administration on the latest revisions and safety-walks throughout the school. Mr. Short spoke highly of our new dismissal process and we believe we are in a very good place in regards to school safety.
The Standard Response Protocol (SRP) was discussed
(

).
These protocols are consistent among schools and law enforcement is familiar with this language as well. This will be a big help in keeping our school safe and also with our communication to parents. We talked a lot about the difference between a lockdown and a lockout. Generally, during a lockout, the exterior doors are locked due to a threat outside the school. During a lockdown, we believe there is a threat within the school or an imminent threat to the school.
We have looked at our communications during these events and have made some adjustments to keep you better informed during emergencies
(click here)
. It is important to know that during the initial moments of an emergency we are busy protecting your children and implementing one of the protocols. Our goal is to keep you informed as often and as much as possible during an emergency.
Paul Gillilan, who works for the parish and with the school, discussed how the school and parish work together in regards to safety and communication. Fr. Jim Gigliotti and the church staff are committed to putting the safety of our children first.
All of us play a great part in keeping Saint Andrew Catholic School safe, including you. As parents and visitors, please have your driver’s license or ID available for the front desk personnel when visiting the school. All guests will be checked-in through our automated system. When you are on campus, please do not hesitate to inform us immediately of any safety concerns such as a door not closing properly or a gate not locked.
Please help us measure your feelings about school safety by taking a few minutes to complete the School Climate Survey
(click here)
. Thank you for your help and cooperation in maintaining the safety and security of our students. We are grateful for your partnership.

The Spiritual Life Committee at Saint Andrew Catholic School offers two blessed statues to its families: A statue of Rosa Mystica and an Immaculate Heart of Mary Statue.
Each week (from Wednesday afternoon to the following Wednesday morning) two families will have the opportunity to take these statues home and use them as a source of inspiration, prayer and reflection. The tote bag containing the statue will also have suggested prayers. This special tradition will hopefully be one full of meaning and faith for each of you.
