Join us today for the 3rd-6th grade Christmas Concert!
1:30 p.m. (Doors open at 1:00 p.m. )
6:30 p.m. (Doors open at 6:00 p.m. )
We are excited to share something new at Immaculate Conception School! A parish member has donated funds to provide a special lunch for students who demonstrate our core values of Faith, Scholarship, Kindness, and Service.
Twice a month, we will draw a student’s name from our Shout Outs—recognitions given by staff who see students living out our core values throughout the week. These shout outs are shared during our Wednesday morning prayer, and now they come with an special treat!
🎉 The selected student will enjoy a special lunch and may choose a friend to join them. It’s a joyful way to celebrate the everyday actions that make our school community strong. Our first student that earned this special treat was Piper Hall. Piper consistenly shows the core values of Faith, Scholarship, Kindness, and Service. Her Shout Out drawn was for demonstrating the core value of Kindness.
Thank you to our generous parish member, and congratulations in advance to our future core value leaders! 💙🤍
Due to the weather, we will be dismissing at 12:55 p.m. today, Tuesday, December 9, 2025. There is no afternoon preschool.
Thank you,
Blessings,
Mrs. L. Field

Our Christmas ornaments are on sale for $20. The proceeds of these sales will go towards our mitigation cost and saving for a new roof for the school. You can fill out the google form using the link and send payment with your child if you wish to purchase one. They will also be on sale at the Christmas concert Thursday, at the church and school offices, and after mass next weekend. https://forms.gle/XJdbBWN3NABVjXQ19

We wanted to share a few updates from the school office. Our tentative plan is to open the new playground on Monday, December 1, with final confirmation coming on Sunday. We are thrilled to provide our students with this beautiful new equipment, and we cannot wait to see them enjoy it.
As we prepare for this exciting addition, we hope that—with guidance at school, opportunities to use the new playground, and supportive conversations at home—our students will continue to grow in showing respect to teachers, staff, peers, and substitute teachers. We have experienced a challenging couple of weeks with following directions, and we appreciate your partnership in reinforcing positive behavior.
During this season of gratitude, we are especially thankful for our school and parish families and the many ways you support IC School. May your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving, and may God continue to bless us all.
Blessings,
Mrs. L. Field
