Parent Prayer Hour- AHS Chapel

Extended to ALL parents is an INVITATION to come together for an HOUR OF PRAYER every Thursday morning at 9AM in the beautiful AHS Chapel!   Originated 8 years ago, the chapel continues to gather parents & AHS community supporters to lift to God our students, alumni, staff & extended community through the rosary and other prayers.  Each student in the school is prayed for often  & specifically by name.  Students’ petitions submitted anonymously into the school’s “Prayer Boxes” are read out loud and prayed for.  Please note that there is no obligation for your attendance every week—all “prayer warriors” are welcome whenever it works for your schedule!  If you have petition requests, but are unable to attend, please provide your prayer request to  one of our prayer leaders: Joanie Vonderhaar (563) 505-5420 or Laurie Verdi (563) 505-5189.

New Phone System

We had a new phone system installed this summer at Assumption. Something new to the system is if you know your party’s 3 digit extension, you need to dial 9 and then the 3 digit extension.  That is now at the beginning of the recording, but people are used to just dialing the 3 numbers, and it will not go directly to who you are trying to reach unless you dial 9 first.

Busing to AHS

The Davenport Community School District will continue to bus eligible Davenport District students to Assumption. Families wishing to utilize this service should contact the district transportation office at 563-386-1436 immediately. Assumption also provides transportation to students living in Bettendorf and Pleasant Valley School Districts, as this is not available otherwise. Payment for this busing is due to AHS at the beginning of each semester (a bill will be sent) in order for a student to be routed.  Families can recoup these costs by completing a Nonpublic Parent Reimbursement Request form (available on their public school district website). Families interested in this transportation option should contact Mrs. Jackie Guldenpfennig in the Assumption Transportation Office at 563-326-5313 ext. 220 no later than July 20th.
