From the Principal
Welcome back and welcome to the 3rd quarter! I trust that you and your family had a joyful Christmas break. I am looking forward to the second half of the school year with your children. I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the thoughtful Christmas gifts that many of you gave to me. I appreciate your kindness. Grades The grades will open again in FastDirect on Thursday, January 10th for grades 2nd-8th. This is when you will be able to see your child’s report card. Kindergarten and first grade report cards are in the Wednesday envelope. Please review the report card carefully and contact your child’s teacher with any questions or concerns you may have. Hopefully your child has already set 3rd quarter goals. I encourage you to review these goals with your child often during the 3rd quarter to help them successfully reach these goals.

STAR Assessments
The STAR Assessments have taken the place
of the Iowa Assessments in the Archdiocese of

and math skills. These tests are taken 3 times
during the year by 2nd - 8th grade students in
the Archdiocese of Denver Catholic School
System. The first assessment took place in
September. The next window is January 7th-
25th. The third and final testing window is
May 6th-21st. These tests are used primarily
for comparing individual, school and system
scores over a period of several years. We also
use these scores at St. Mary as a progress
monitor throughout the school year. The 3rd,
MLK Day Hoops Classic 3-on-3
Tournament
The Athletic Committee is now taking regis-
tration for a 3-on-3 basketball tournament for

SCRIP
What is it? Scrip fundraising is a no-selling program that enables families to raise money for their nonprofit organization. Scrip is just another way to pay for everyday purchases using gift cards in place of cash, checks and credit cards.
How does it work? You purchase your scrip ahead of time. When you go shopping, you pay with the scrip card. If you do not spend your card all at one time, you will have a remaining balance to use the next time you shop.
You can purchase Kohl’s scrip cards through the school to pay your Kohl’s credit card! Purchase your cards and then take it to the store and let them know you are paying your credit card bill either at customer service or at the checkout (you cannot pay online with your scrip cards). Make sure your card says Kohl’s Cares on it, as this is the only card accepted through Kohl’s to pay your bill. It’s definitely a win-win for this business!
Does it cost any extra to me? No. When you purchase your scrip, you get dollar for dollar of what you purchase with a rebate going back to the school. For example, if you buy $100 worth of King Soopers you receive $100 to spend there. You have also donated $5 back to St. Mary’s by this purchase without doing anything else! The rebate of $5 came from the store, not you.
How much do I have to purchase at one time? Increments of the cards are between $10 and $50. Safeway and King Soopers are reloadable at the store. This means you can put money on your card before making your purchase. A good way to do this is to ask the checker to put money on your card before scanning your groceries. After paying to reload your card, have the checker scan your groceries and pay for your items with the card you just reloaded.
Who can purchase scrip? Anyone you know can help our school and purchase our scrip. Grandparents, relatives, neighbors, and friends all need groceries and can get the cards through you and going to the Parish Office. You will receive credit through their purchases as long as they give them your family name.
How much do I need to purchase? To keep our tuition cost low and to receive the “in parish rate,” each family must purchase at least $5,000 per year (June-May). If you purchase over $5,000, 5% of that will go towards your fundraising. This amount is easy to reach when you get in the habit of always having scrip in your wallet before you run to the store. It also is easy to achieve when you get your family and friends involved. Remember that it is not an extra cost to you. The only one who pays is the stores.
Questions? Please call 353-8100. Thank you for supporting St. Mary Catholic School. If you do not receive your ordered scrip by the following day at the latest, please notify the office immediately!
NOTE: You cannot buy gift cards from King Soopers or Safeway with your scrip card.
