Mass Sunday, 1/29 at 10:30am. The school community is helping with the parts of the mass and students are encouraged to wear their uniforms.
Open House Sunday, 1/29 11:30am-1:00pm Bring your family and friends, check out what your child has been doing so far this year and check out what you have to look forward to next year. Do you know someone considering school for next year? Bring them along or invite them to come. We'll have student tour guides available.

Tuesday, 1/31 We celebrate our teachers and staff! PTO is providing lunch for the staff, and families are invited to write a note of thanks to their teachers.

Scholastic Book Fair
Everyone is invited to St. Paul's Book Fair. Your support will enable us to purchase desperately needed new books for our school library. The sale is scheduled for Saturday, January 28 after the evening Mass, Sunday, January 29 after both Masses and Monday, January 23-Wednesday, January 25 during school hours. If you are interested in volunteering some hours to help with this fundraiser, please contact the school office.
Share the Good News About St. Paul School
Research consistently shows that word-of-mouth is the very best form of marketing for Catholic schools. Do you have family, friends, neighbors or acquaintances with school age children that don't attend St. Paul? Please tell them what a wonderful school we have and encourage them to apply for admission. We would be delighted to meet with parents to answer questions and take them on a tour of the school. Call the office at (206) 725-0780 to schedule a tour.
Inclement Weather Procedure
Please keep this information in a place where you can refer to it in the event of an emergency situation. School closure (and late starts) will be announced by radio and TV in the morning between 5:30am and 7:30am. Generally speaking, if Seattle Public Schools close, St. Paul School and the ESS program will also be closed. On occasion, although our school is not closed, the hot lunch program may not be provided. If possible, this will be announced also. When it is necessary to close because of inclement weather, or any other emergency, parents will receive notice by radio and TV. Whenever possible, we will post our late start or school closing on our website, www.seattlestpaul.org. Check the school website or listen to early morning broadcasts from KOMO, KIRO, and KING. If no announcement is heard over these stations, assume school is open at the normal time. Late openings at St. Paul School will always be at 9:30am. Please refer to your Parent Handbook for the Emergency Closure section. Please also note: if school is open but it is unsafe to open the top driveway, we will have the entrance on 57th Ave. open for entrance and the regular north driveway will remain the exit.
