Principal's Message

Week of February 3, 2025 
Dear Paramus Catholic Families, 
     Happy February! This month we celebrate and reflect on several important themes: Black History Month, Heart Health Awareness, and Love. A common thread connecting these celebrations is Respect. Faculty will incorporate Black History Month recognition into their lessons, and students will engage in activities promoting Heart Health awareness throughout the month. I encourage all members of the Paramus Catholic community to perform acts of Kindness to demonstrate respect. To support this theme, I have included a beautiful family prayer for February. 
     As we move into the third quarter, please remind your child to reach out to their teachers or guidance counselors for support. We have many academic resources available to help all students succeed. 
You do not need to travel to Broadway this weekend, as Broadway is coming to Paramus Catholic!! Please support our talented student actors by attending the performances of Aladdin Jr. on Friday and Saturday at 7:00 PM. 
    I ask for your support in reinforcing the dress code before students leave the home. Students must be in full dress code when they arrive at school. Please be aware that headphones or Air Pods are not allowed when entering the building or during school hours. This is a safety issue, as students need to be fully aware in case of, God Forbid, an emergency. The only exception is in the Student Center or cafeteria. Thank you for your cooperation in this important matter. 
     Please support our Can Wars initiative. We encourage students to bring in canned goods for our Paladin Food Pantry. Grade levels will compete against one another, with the winning group earning a dress-down day. 
     Wishing you all a safe and wonderful week. 
With gratitude, 
Dr. Stephanie Macaluso

February Family Prayer 
Heavenly Father, 
As we step into February, we ask for Your divine guidance in every aspect of our life. Lead using the right direction, and let our decisions align with Your will. When we feel uncertain, remind me to trust in Your wisdom and not lean on our own understanding. Teach us to listen for Your voice and follow Your instructions with faith and obedience. 
As we go through each day, let me be sensitive to Your leading and avoid distractions that take us away from Your path. May this month be filled with clarity, discernment, and wise choices that honor You. Amen 
 
“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.” – Psalm 119:105 
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
