Dear Parents and Beloved Students of St. Augustine Catholic School,

I hope this letter finds you all in good health and high spirits as we embark on a new academic year, brimming with hope and excitement. As the proud Principal of St. Augustine Catholic School, I am delighted to extend a warm welcome to all our returning families and a heartfelt greeting to the new members joining our close-knit school community.

At St. Augustine, we believe in fostering a nurturing and inspiring environment that encourages academic excellence, spiritual growth, and character development. As we set forth on our journey for the 2024-2025 school year, I assure you that our dedicated faculty and staff are committed to creating a vibrant, innovative, and inclusive learning space where every child can thrive.

Our core values of love, respect, compassion, and service to others will continue to be the guiding principles of our school community. We understand that each student is unique, blessed with diverse talents and abilities, and we take pride in providing individualized attention to help every child reach their full potential.

The new academic year comes with exciting updates and initiatives. We are continually investing in our academic programs, technological advancements, and extracurricular opportunities to ensure a well-rounded and holistic education for our students. Our strong emphasis on STREAM (Science, Technology, Religion, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) education will equip our students with the skills and knowledge required to excel in an ever-evolving world.

In addition to academic growth, spiritual formation remains at the heart of St. Augustine Catholic School. Our faith-based education instills moral values, fosters a sense of social responsibility, and encourages a deep connection with God and one another. Throughout the year, we will continue to organize spiritual retreats, service projects, and meaningful prayer experiences to nurture the spiritual development of our students.

Parental involvement is a crucial element of our school’s success, and we value the partnership between our families and the school. We encourage open communication and invite parents to participate actively in school events, parent-teacher conferences, and various volunteer opportunities.

As we navigate through the academic year together, we will maintain a safe and healthy learning environment, adhering to the best practices to ensure the well-being of our students and staff.

I am excited and honored to lead this wonderful school community, and I look forward to working closely with each one of you to make the 2024-2025 academic year a memorable and fulfilling one.

Together, let us continue to shine as a beacon of light and faith, guided by the teachings of Christ and the legacy of St. Augustine.

May God bless you abundantly.

With warm regards,

Erica Paras
Principal, St. Augustine Catholic School
