Welcome Parents!
Welcome Parents! We are excited for the 2023-2024 school year at SPC. As your Home & School board, we invite you to get involved in your children’s school. Home & School is a great way to meet other parents and teachers, spend time with your children, and meet their friends. SPC is a vibrant community made up of extraordinary volunteers, exceptional teachers, and a committed school and parish staff. It is only with your involvement and support that, together, we continue to make this all possible. There are so many volunteer opportunities both at school and from your home. Please contact any member of Home & School with questions. Looking forward to another GREAT year at SPC!
