Scrip Sale
Please take a moment and look through the scrip order form for your weekly shopping needs or for a gift card. We have a wide variety of scrip for everyone. Special orders are taken in the office. Complete the Scrip order form, attach a check or cash, and your order will be filled. This is an easy way to help the school earn money. Thank you!
Testing
We are now at the last round of
testing for new students. We test Monday through Thursday; there is no testing
on Friday. If you have a child who will be entering 1st-8th
grade and who is not currently enrolled, please call the school office and
arrange an appointment for testing.
Transitional Kindergarten and
Kindergarten
Please call Ms. Angela at (323)
255-5803 if you have a student entering Transitional Kindergarten (the child
must be four years old by Dec. 1) or Kindergarten (the child must be five years
old by Dec. 1) to set up an appointment for an interview.
The interview will take about
15 minutes. If your child is currently in St. Dominic preschool or pre-K, there
is no application fee; there is a $75.00 application fee for new families applying
to Transitional Kindergarten and Kindergarten.
Community Clean-Up
Once again our St.
Dominic School Marketing Team is working hard to promote our school. With the
help of our 8th grade volunteers, they will again be joining forces with CERB (Collaborative
Eagle Rock Beautiful) to clean up our community on Sat. April 27, from 9 a.m.- noon.
Everyone will grab their brooms and trash bags at Eagle Rock City Hall and walk around picking up
trash. Our 8th graders will earn service hours for their participation and we thank
them for their assistance.
Goodwill
Start looking
through your closets, garages, attics, under the bed, etc., because we want
your stuff ! Throughout the summer our Marketing Team will be collecting
unwanted, clean, sellable items for our Goodwill Donation drive which will take
place every Sunday during summer
vacation. Please pass the word to your family, friends, and neighbors that we
will gladly receive their donations. Because of your generosity, last year we
exceeded our goal of filling 1½ trucks. With these funds the Marketing Team can
continue to help promote our school.
