Dear Parents:
ONE STOP SHOPPING IS HERE!
I am pleased to announce that we now have a local
uniform company which will provide
all of your school uniform needs. Beginning with the
2008/2009 school year,
Educational Outfitters will offer you a “One Stop Shopping”
Experience.
Educational Outfitters is located at 3845 East Colonial
Drive (on the corner of Herndon
Avenue and Colonial) and offers three ways to order: In the
store, on the phone, or on
the web. Since this location is here in Orlando, we
encourage everyone to place their first
orders in the store. This also eliminates the need for a
measuring day.
Uniforms will be available for purchase beginning June 1st.
As an added bonus, from
July 7th – July 26th (and also the entire month of
December), there is a 10% discount on
all items. Educational Outfitters also honors tax free week
which is usually sometime in
August.
We are making a few changes to the uniforms, as well as
adding some cold weather items.
Please review the attachments for additional
information regarding your children’s
uniforms for the upcoming school year. Please note, there
will be a 1-Year grace period
for new uniforms. All new uniforms will need to be in place
by the 2009/2010 school
year.
Be assured that we have done everything possible to
make your experience with
Educational Outfitters a pleasant one. Mr. Larry James, the
owner, has gone the extra
mile to have everything in place and available for your
convenience.
Thank you for your patience and support as we embark on
our “One Stop Shopping”
endeavor.
Blessings,
Sr. Elizabeth & The PTO

Important Memo
To:
Parents
From:
Sr. Elizabeth
Re:
Morning Arrival and Dismissal
As always the safety of our students is my
primary concern. Therefore, the following directives will
be adhered to without exception:
1. The use of cell
phones in our parking lot during drop-off and pick-up is
unacceptable. One morning recently I counted 7 parents
using cell phones during morning drop-off. This is
inexcusable because the safety of our students is being
jeopardized.
2. Left hand turns on to
South Orange Blossom Trail during morning drop-off and
afternoon pick-up are Not allowed. Right hand turns
only please, please, please!
3. During afternoon pick-up,
the first group of parents is asked to back into a parking
space. All other parents are asked to drive into a parking
space. Please be very vigilant as you pull in and out of
spaces. There have been many near misses with other
vehicles and with children.
4..When you have picked up
your children please go directly to your cars. Do not
remain to chat . It is too dangerous when children are
unattended.
5. At this point in the
year, ALL students should be capable of walking to
their classrooms without a parent escort.
6. Thank you for your
cooperation and for your prompt attention to these matters.
Compliance is necessary for the safety of all the students
at St. John Vianney Catholic School.
St.
John Vianney School is a
"Nationally Recognized Blue Ribbon School "
Mission Statement
St. John Vianney
Catholic School, a ministry of St. John Vianney parish, is a
diverse community that challenges students to reach their full
potential through a living faith in God. Within an
innovative environment based on mutual respect and academic
excellence, we inspire and empower our students by expanding their
minds, fostering social responsibility, instilling Catholic
values, and nourishing the soul.
Philosophy
St. John Vianney
School, inspired by the pastoral, "To Teach as Jesus Did," has as
its purpose the formation of its students into creative,
Christ-centered persons. We strive to provide a Christian
environment where the faith of our students can become living,
conscious and active. Our school affords the fullest and
best opportunity to realize the threefold purposes of Christian
education; that is, to teach doctrine, to build Christian
community and to provide service to others. Our school
places a high priority on the formation of Catholic leaders who
are prepared to be active, contributing citizens in a global
society.
While recognizing the
parents as the primary educators of their children, and in
cooperation with them, we, the educators, strive to empower each
child to become a fully-integrated successful human being.
This goal is accomplished by providing an education that ensures
the harmonious development of each student's spiritual,
intellectual, emotional and physical growth.

Each student is a unique child of God.
2.
Catholic faith and values are integrated into everyday
learning and life experiences.

organizations, and members of the parish share the

Ongoing evaluation and improvement of the curriculum are
crucial to the development of a sound educational program.
9.
Working in active partnership with parents, who are the
primary educators of their children, is essential for the
development of the whole child.
10. Developing
the students’ talents promotes creativity and service and
enhances their self respect.
