STUDENT LIFE
Club Pictures on Monday, October 21
We are running a MAP schedule. This is to ensure everyone in school is present for club pictures and they are all done in one day.
- Seniors must have their senior sweater.
- 8th-11th should have their formal sweater.
Seniors will report to the field right outside the Theology classrooms to take their Class of 25 picture as soon as lunch ends. All other students will report to Period S. Please see the flyer with the schedule for when each club/organization will take their picture. Students will be dismissed at three different times to the gym to take their picture and remain in the gym if they have more pictures to take. When a student is finished taking all of her pictures she will return to Period S. Period S teachers are asked to remain in their Period S the entire time.
Safe Environment
October is Respect Life Month and the Archdiocese of New Orleans asks us to train our students in the Safe Environment Program through our Theology Classes. This program serves as a training for our students to make sure they are in compliance with Safe Environment. Our Theology teachers will begin to teach this program beginning on October 24th. Please look over the attached Safe Environment Program Overview for more information
If you would not like your daughter to participate in the program at school, you must go into the front office to complete a parent refusal form before October 24th. Thank you!

Lakeside Shopping Center
Pumpkin Decorating Contest
Chapelle's Pumpkin Promo Video
The Archbishop Chapelle National Art Honor Society has created another series of pumpkins for the Lakeside Shopping Center pumpkin decorating contest. The theme selected this year honors the Halloween movie master himself, Tim Burton! Our title pumpkin features Tim Burton selling tickets at a movie theater adorned with hand-painted posters from Sleepy Hollow, Batman Returns, the Wednesday Adams show, The Nightmare before Christmas, Frankenweenie and Charlie and the Chocolate factory. We then paid tribute to the latest Beetlejuice movie with a journey back to the graveyard scene, complete with animated sign and watched over by the sandworm of Saturn. Our next pumpkin depicts the Mad Hatter from his adaptation of Alice in Wonderland. We then have a dual sided pumpkin showing two scenes from the Corpse Bride featuring hand sewn wedding gown and hand stitched hair. Our final pumpkin is another collaboration with the Chapelle robotics team and created in our new STEM lab on our Glowforge which depicts Edward Scissorhands sculpting beautiful hedges with moving animatronic hands.
Voting for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place this year will be conducted by a panel of judges. Voting for the People Choice Award is NOT online this year but only in person at the Lakeside shopping center on 10/13 and 10/19 at center court. Come out and help us win this competition!

CAMPUS MINISTRY
Hallow
Last year, we partnered with Hallow, an amazing online resource for prayer that the students can use in the classroom and in their own personal lives! Having Hallow was a great opportunity that I know many of our students took advantage of. Between the faculty, staff, and students, the Archbishop Chapelle community prayed over 11,000 prayers on Hallow last year!
I am happy to say that we are partnering with Hallow again this year! Every single student will have full access to a Hallow account through their achschipmunks email. They should have, or soon will be receiving an email from Hallow with more information on how to log into their accounts. The students can access Hallow through the web browser on their chromebooks, or they can also download the app on their smartphones if they have one. We will be using Hallow in the Theology classes this year, so it is important that every student knows how to access their accounts.
Parents, Hallow also generously offers a free trial for you! Be on the lookout for more information in the future!
If you have any questions about Hallow, please contact Mr. Gavin Matherne.
Know that we are praying for you!

Bullying/Harassment Policy
Bullying is a distinctive pattern of repeatedly and deliberately harming and humiliating others and is characterized by a power imbalance between the two parties. Bullying includes, but is not limited to physical or verbal aggression, relational aggression, or emotional aggression (teasing, threatening, and intimidating others). Relational aggression (RA), is a form of indirect bullying that uses social relationships to manipulate or harm others, such as isolating a student from her group of friends (social exclusion), threatening to stop talking to a friend (the ''silent treatment''), or spreading gossip and rumors. Harassment includes, but is not limited to, slurs, jokes, comments, or other offensive conduct relating to race, religion, color, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, citizenship, disability, or any other legally protected characteristic. Bullying, relational aggression (including cyber-bullying), and harassment will not be tolerated. Please use the forms below to report bullying.

Back to School Prayer
Dear Lord,
As our students begin a new school year, I pray that you will keep them in your care. Send your Spirit to open their minds to all that is true and beautiful and good. Help them to see the gifts and talents you have given them and to use them well. Help them to grow in knowledge and wisdom. Help them to be kind to others and lead others to be kind to them.
Open their young hearts to your presence and enfold them in your peace and protection.
Amen.
