FROM THE DESK OF THE
HEAD OF SCHOOL
Parents and Students: It has come to my attention that afternoon carpool is NOT going well. I need everyone (including grandparents) to review dismissal procedures ASAP. We MUST be good neighbors. Cars in the Chapelle carpool line are blocking traffic on Veterans, blocking driveways, etc. The police have been notified by surrounding businesses and neighbors, and will begin ticketing. THERE is NO NEED to be here right at 3:00. We will not make any student leave campus right at dismissal as we are here each day until 5:00 PM or even later. I am asking again that you review all of the dismissal and carpool procedures for the SAFETY OF OUR STUDENTS and because after Labor Day the police will be ticketing.
Also, NO ONE should be entering the exit gates on Veterans and parking in the shell lot! This is NOT permitted.
If someone other than you is picking up your daughter, PLEASE speak to them about being a good neighbor and remind them to have respect for the teachers and administrators that are on duty. We are here for the safety of the girls.
Enjoy your Labor Day weekend and see you soon!
Mrs. Dantagnan

Chapelle will cover the training cost, but we ask you to purchase the ACT Boot Camp book for $25 to hold your daughter’s spot. This will only be available to the first 40 students who buy the book on the tuition portal. If there are empty spots available, we will open up the Boot Camp to boys who are attending area Catholic High Schools. Please have any interested Catholic school boys contact drohli@archbishopchapelle.org to register. They will have a different registration process.

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.
