Lunch Info
Milk and lunch prices remain the same as last year:  milk is 25 cents per carton and lunch is $1.25 including milk.  You may deposit any amount you wish in your child's lunch account (we have it all on computer rather than dealing with individual tickets).     (Milk:  5-carton $1.25.  20-carton $5.00; Lunch : 5-meal $6.25; 20-mela $25.00)   St. Dominic School participates in the U.S. Government Lunch Program, therefore a letter concerning application for free or reduced lunch will come home with your student the first  day of school.
 

School Age Care (SAC)
Saint Dominic School provides quality care before and after school hours.  This service is offered to working parents.  All St. Dominic Elementary School students are automatically registered for the SAC Program.  The registration fee covers both the school and SAC program registration.

SAC opens at 7:00am each morning and closes promptly at 5:45pm each school day.  On half-days or school holidays, SAC is open from 7:00am until 5:45pm also; however bag lunches are required on those days.
 

School Hours
If your child arrives between 7:00am and 7:30am. the parent must accompany the child into the door to the School Age Care and sign them in.  Between 7:30am and 8:00am, the children will come into the building through the front school door and continue on to the gym.  All elementary students will participate in Morning Assembly at 8:00am before going into the classrooms.

Our school day for elementary and pre-school begins PROMPTLY at 8am with dismissal for elementary students at 3:00pm.  Morning preschool students are to be picked up promptly at Noon. If they are not picked up by 12:15pm, they will go to daycare and a fee will be charged.  Elementary students should be picked up no later than 15 minutes after dismissal.  Any student not picked up by 3:15pm (on full days), 2:15pm (on Wednesdays), or 11:45am (on half days) will go to SAC and a daycare fee will be charged.
 

Safety Notes
Please remember when you are dropping off or picking up your children, Crescent Drive is a "loading zone" only.  You may choose to use this zone, but you cannot park and walk to the school doors to pick up your child.  Drivers using this zone MUST stay in their cars so that traffic can move safely and cautiously.  The circular drive is for handicapped parking only, for deliveries, and SAC children pickup after school hours.

You cannot drop off your child in front of school on Center Street.
 

ALL PRE-SCHOOL CHILDREN MUST BE WALKED INTO THE BUILDING BY AN ADULT.

Please help us use every safety precaution this year for the protectionn and safety of our students.

Parent Volunteers
ST. Dominic school is fortunate to have an active Home and School Association.  We have volunteer forms available to all parents to "give" of their time and talents.  Please sign up to help in the cafeteria, as a homeroom mother or father, etc.  We need your gifts of time and talents as we work together for another successful year.  In accordance with the Diocese of Knoxville, all volunteers must have a background check and have VIRTUS training.
