Target Red Cards
~ Parents get their TARGET RED CARD and it is swiped just like a debit card from their bank acct (this is not a credit card).
~The customer gets an automatic 5% off their purchase and the school of their choice, being St Dominic, gets 1% of the purchase donation.
~Some parents and parishioners are already doing this because we have been receiving a check quarterly from Target.
~With the Holidays approaching and the spending that comes with that, now would be the perfect time for our parents to get on board.
~ Go to Target to get more info.

Dress
Code Violations
Consequences
for Dress Code Violations have
changed!
Due to a huge increase in Dress
Code violations last school year, we
have made some changes to our Dress
Code consequences. the Dress Code
can also be found in your
student's agenda –
Parent/Student handbook section, and
the consequences for having a Dress
Code violation. Each class has had
the changes explained to them in
detail. Parents, we ask that you
please support us in this policy.
Note, changes apply to students in grades
2 through 6 only.

Tardies
If your student is
coming home with tardy slips, please
come in and check our clock. It is
possible that your home or car clock
differs from ours. We are beginning
to have many, many tardies. Students
are to be at school no later than 8.
Promptness is a life long skill that
all of us need to help our young
students develop. If a student comes
after 8:05 they must stop in the
office and get a tardy slip.

For some time now,
Wal-Mart has limited us on the amount
of gift cards we can have per month
to about a third of what we
previously sold. This is beginning to
show on our “bottom line”.
On the other hand, Dillons has never
limited us on the amount. When you
shop at Dillons, please purchase
certificates from St. Dominic School.
Don't forget
to get your Dillons & Walmart
cards. Continue buying
them at the school office, parish
office, or after Mass.
