Please be advised that due to the snow storm today and temperatures dropping tonight with the potential of icy road conditions, we have decided to cancel classes tonight.
For those attending Stepinčevo on Sunday, you will receive an email with details.
Thank you and we look forward to seeing you again on Friday, February 19th.
Thank you!

Dear Parents,
First of all, we hope you had a wonderful Christmas Season and a Happy New Year. We wanted to bring your attention to some items.
1) Classes resume on Friday, January 22
– The updated School Calendar has been posted on the “For Parents” page (with some additional days off due to Kardinal Stepinac Kolo Group travels)
2) We’d like to congratulate all the students that had perfect attendance in the Fall 2015 semester. Congratulations to the students and the efforts of their parents!!!
3) The Spring 2016 attendance policy continues – we will be tracking attendance and will recognize perfect attendance at the Mother’s Day Show. As informed at registration in September and signed by parents, your child is required to attend 6 classes in order to be able to perform at the Mother’s Day show. Velika Proba WILL NOT count as one of the days.
4) SPECIAL EVENTS:
– Aladdin – Broadway Theater – Sunday, April 24th at 3pm – please see flyer that was emailed to everyone.
– Due to lack of reservations, our Camelback trip was cancelled.
5) We will continue sell Apparel on Fridays, see price list that was emailed to everyone.
6) Stepincevo is on Sunday, February 7 – mandatory attendance will be for 5th/6th and 7th/8th grades – details will be sent shortly.
7) We are implementing a phone notification system as a way to inform you of weather related closings or any emergencies that may occur. We will be able to send you an automated phone call, text, or email, similar to what you receive from your child’s school on a snow day.
You should have received a call to your cell phone yesterday/today from the church phone number (212 area code) asking you to opt-in to receive future notifications. Thank you for all that have responded. If you have not received a call, please email us so we can verify your cell phone number. (Do not contact the church).
Thank you for your patience as we test this system. As you know, when working with technology, technical difficulties and glitches can occur.
Thank you and we hope to see you on the 22nd!!!

Below is some important information regarding the Christmas Show this Saturday:
– volunteers needed for:
1) additional backstage hand/runner during the show
2) parent from each grade to sit with the respective students during the show
– Parking – only parking available is street parking and garage parking; the parking lot behind the church will NOT be opened for our use
– Show starts at 7pm sharp – please have your child(ren) dressed and in the Velika Dvorana at 6:30pm
– Nošnja – will be handed out on Friday. If you have not done so please go to the škola website for details. Students are to remain in their seats and nošnjas till the end of the show. An announcement will be made at the end of the show with details on where to return them.
– Seating in front – with the dynamics of the Velika Dvorana making it difficult for everyone to see the stage, we have come up with a resolution. As each grade performs we will call up parents from that particular grade to come up front and sit in the first rows (please be aware we have limited seating and we are recommending only 1-2 people come up front per student performing). There will be a parent monitoring and we ask politely for all to be considerate and rotate and make space for the next set of parents.
– Photos/Video – George Corluka will be taking professional photos during the show. Also we will be videotaping the show and will post it on our website.
– Santa will be making an appearance!!
If you have any questions or concerns please let us know.
Thank you all for your support and we look forward to a great show!
