Dear Cheverus School Family, Receive a fraternal greeting from me, Father Alejandro López Cardinale, parish administrator of Sacred Hearts and, therefore, in charge of Cheverus Catholic School. It is an honor to be with you even if it is through this letter, which is especially significant due to its content. First, we want to thank all of you for the trust you show in choosing our school and allowing us to be part of your children’s lives and yours. We feel honored and, at the same time, we ask the good God who has given us life, energy, and strength to carry out this mission. In the last seven years we have had the benefit of Mr. Thomas Arria Jr., as Principal of the school. Now that he has chosen to retire, we want to express our immense gratitude to him and ask him, at the same time, to continue advising us and offering his talents so that the future of the school is more promising. This change will bring about a new era for Cheverus. Therefore, it is with immense joy and gratitude, that we inform you of the appointment of Mr. Jeff Lane as the new Principal of Cheverus Catholic School. You all know him, as he knows you. With his personal charisma, his performance as a teacher and as Assistant Principal, he offers us everything necessary for the school to both continue forward and expand to new horizons. A transition will take place in the coming months. We can count on the cooperation between Mr. Arria and Mr. Lane given their shared experiences to expedite this process. This guarantees us stability and, at the same time, the possibility to dream of new opportunities for the school. For those who can, please join us in the Eucharist of thanksgiving for the end of the 2021-2022 school year. It will take place on Friday, June 10 at 8 am, at Sacred Hearts Church. It will be an opportunity to see each other and get to know each other. We ask God, each one of us from the confession of faith that they profess, to guide Mr. Lane and accompany him, give him wisdom and joy for the mission that lies ahead, a mission that he will not do alone, but in the company of all of us. Fraternal, Father Alejandro and the Sacred Hearts staff

Dear Parents, We are appalled and saddened to hear of the events in Texas yesterday. This is especially difficult for us as teachers and parents, unthinkable, yet reality. We pray for the repose of the souls of the children and the teachers and for their families. These situations beg the question: How do we respond to our children when these situations arise? My sense is that the most important action we can take is to be alert to any child who is exhibiting or expressing any anxiety or fear related to this incident. Obviously, we address the issue differently depending on the age of the child. I have directed our teachers to keep a watchful eye on the children in the lower grades for any signs/expressions of anxiety or fear related to this issue and to report it to the School Office immediately. Conversations can take place with the older/middle school students, especially if they have questions. Mrs. Caplan, our guidance counselor will be available on Friday, to talk with anyone having difficulty. She has also provided us with the link below. https://www.nasponline.org/resources-and-publications/resources-and-podcasts/school-safety-and-crisis/school-violence-resources/talking-to-children-about-violence-tips-for-parents-and-teachers Thomas P.

On May 17, 2022 the Cheverus community celebrated Mr. Arria's retirement. The event included performances by students, presentation of gifts, and moving speeches. Click on the link below to enjoy pictures from the event.

Cheverus Catholic School has been awarded a Catholic Schools Foundation (CSF) Elementary School Grant in the amount of $74, 710 for the 2022-2023 school year.

This grant is part of a $7.3 million dollar effort by the Catholic Schools Foundation to support Catholic elementary school students in the Archdiocese of Boston. Eligible students in kindergarten to eighth grade are guaranteed their scholarship each year that they are enrolled in their Catholic grade school provided they meet eligibility requirements. Scholarships are awarded regardless of religion, race, ethnicity, gender, etc. Additionally, this grant will also fund up to Peter Lynch Scholars at Cheverus.
