**A Message from Mr. DeVivo…………………………………………

Welcome Back to School!

Dear Divine Redeemer Elementary School Families,

Welcome to the 2026-2027 school year! We hope your summer was filled with rest, joy, and beautiful family memories. Our entire faculty and staff have been hard at work preparing our classrooms, updating our campus, and praying for your children. We are absolutely thrilled to open our doors and welcome our students back!

We believe that every child from Pre-K through 6th grade is blessed with God-given potential. To help them reach that potential, we are dedicated to providing high-quality, rigorous instruction every single day. We are fiercely protecting our daily learning time to ensure your children get the most out of every minute they spend with us.

We view education as a sacred partnership between home and school. Together, we will challenge our students academically, nurture them spiritually, and support them socially. You can expect proactive, consistent communication from our teachers this year as we celebrate your child’s milestones together.

As a reminder to help us start the year smoothly, please take a moment to review the updated uniform guidelines that were sent home at the beginning of the summer. Ensuring our students are dressed in accordance with these standards helps minimize classroom distractions, protects our valuable instructional time, and fosters a beautiful sense of unity and pride across our entire school community. Thank you so much for your partnership in keeping our students looking their best!

We look forward to seeing you all very soon at our upcoming school events:

• Pre-K Drop-In: Wednesday, August 19th from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM
• Back to School Night: Thursday, August 20th from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM

Thank you for choosing a Catholic education and for entrusting your beautiful children to our care. It is going to be an extraordinary year of faith, growth, and academic excellence!

May God bless your family as we begin this exciting journey together. 

Respectfully,

Chris M. DeVivo
Principal
