Join us for Back to School Night on Monday, August 11 at 4:00 PM. While grade-level schedules will be shared soon, we encourage families to save the date and plan to attend. This year’s gathering will offer more opportunities to build community, with time to meet teachers and staff, connect with other families, enjoy food, and explore helpful information booths covering everything from athletics and lunch accounts to parish involvement and volunteer opportunities. Food will be available for purchase: $5 for a hot dog or hamburger meal (includes chips and a drink), and $1 for desserts. Whether you’re a returning family or brand new to Ascension, this is a great way to get acclimated and feel at home as we begin a new school year together.
