PARENTS
Your child’s education is our primary focus, and as your child’s first teacher, you are a vital part of the community at Nativity BVM School. Please contact your child’s teacher with any concerns.
Nativity parents continue to be a shining example of service to our school and for our students. Your talents can be used in a variety of areas and committees, whether through the Home & School Committees, the Dad’s Club, or other opportunities.
General Information
Please be sure your child is on time each day. Morning prayers begin at 8:00 AM.
If your child is absent, please notify the school office, 610-566-6881, by 8:30 AM. This is for your child’s safety.
Communication Envelopes are distributed every Thursday to the youngest child in the family. Please read through each week, sign the envelope, and return the emptied envelope with your child to school by Monday each week. Weekly and time sensitive information is often contained in this envelope, and it is imperative you are aware of the information in a timely fashion.
