School Announcements:

In addition to updating this website often, we communicate school activities, notes, and calendars to parents on a regular basis via email blasts, our monthly newsletter, social media such at Facebook and Instagram. Students will also bring notices home.

Contacting the Classroom:

We support and encourage open communication between your home and our teachers. However, we request that parents/guardians do not call the classroom, during instructional hours. We also request that parents schedule all meetings with teachers at least 24 hours in advance.  Parents/guardians may call the office and leave a message for the teacher, or you may email the teacher directly.

Email:

All Madonna del Sasso teachers check email regularly. Please feel free to communicate to your child’s teacher via email with any questions or comments.

  • When will I have a conference with my child's teacher?

Parent/teacher conferences provide an opportunity to discuss your child’s progress and unique needs with his or her teacher. Parent teacher conferences are held twice a year usually in the fall and spring. You will receive notification of scheduled conference dates via student notices and our school calendar. You may also contact your child's teacher to schedule an appointment whenever you feel the need. Involved parents make a big difference, and we welcome your interest and participation.

  • What if my child is absent or tardy?

If an absence is unavoidable, please email our school office (information@msschool.com) before 8:30 a.m. Absences and tardiness disrupt learning and can slow or even prevent your child's success. We encourage you to schedule doctor, dentist, and other appointments during off-school hours.

  • What is the dress code at Madonna del Sasso School?

We believe that our students' appearance is an important part of the learning environment, and that is why our students wear uniforms. Uniforms can be purchased at Dennis Uniform Company. Our uniform guidelines and free dress guidelines are explained in the Family Handbook.

  • What if my child needs medication or becomes ill at school?

Medication

Please complete a Medication Release Form in the school office if your child needs to take any medication during the school day. We do not dispense medication, including Tylenol, at school without a written order from a physician or parent. Student’s medication MUST be kept in the school office, in the original prescription container, with the student's name on it. Students cannot carry around medication at school.
