Reminders & Announcements
Structured Alternative Learning Days SAL Days - IMPORTANT - Please Read
All Saints Catholic School is among the schools in the Diocese of Fall River that are piloting Structured Alternative Learning (SAL) Days to take the place of some snow days. SAL Days, when designated, will count as school attendance days and therefore will not be required to be made up at the end of the school year. This is a benefit to our families and staff who may have made vacation or other family plans which would be impacted by lengthy school year extensions.
Please note that paper copies of our first SAL Day packet was sent home on Friday, January 18. Details and policies can be found on our website at: https://ascsnb.org/sal-
structured-alternative- learning-day Looking for a fun outing during February Vacation?
Burn off some excess energy and help to support All Saints Catholic School at Carousel Family Fun Center 2/18-2/24. Coupons will be sent home in early February. Students must bring coupon - every coupon redeemed our school will receive $2.00.

Parents are asked to be on the lookout for their students’ Doodle for Google Contest entry form that needs to be filled out, signed and returned to school. It will be included in the Take Home Tuesday folders in the next week or two. We are completing the artwork in class but they can find more info on the website www.doodle4google.com
