Free Printable Catholic Schools Week Reading Log, Certificate and Calendar Set

About these catholic schools week printables handouts

Catholic Schools Week is an annual celebration of Catholic education held in the United States in late January, with the exact days set each year by the National Catholic Educational Association; in some years the week runs into early February.

This set has six files that share one design language: a schoolhouse, an open book and a star. Every file is drawn from shapes and type only, so the set shows symbols and patterns and no people or figures. The reading log has twenty ruled rows with date, title, minutes or pages, and a column for a grown-up's initials. The certificate is a landscape page with a patterned border. The calendar page is a blank six-week grid with day names and empty date boxes, so you write in the dates yourself. The bookmark sheet holds eight cut-apart bookmarks with tassel holes, and the writing page and reward chart round out the set.

The schoolhouse on the pages has a small bell tower and a plain cross. The set carries no theme slogan, because themes change each year; add the current theme in the fill-in title or by hand.

The reading log, certificate, bookmarks and reward chart carry no logo or web address, so a student or family can keep them. The calendar page and writing page keep a small footer. Use the reading log for a school-wide read-in, the reward chart for a week of service, and the border page for thank-you notes to teachers, staff and parish helpers.

How to use them

1. Choose the file you need: reading log, certificate, calendar page, bookmark set, border page or reward chart.
2. Open the fill-in boxes and type the details that stay the same for the class, such as the school, teacher, month or the heading.
3. Pick a color style. Black and white saves ink; the colored styles suit card stock.
4. Print on letter paper at actual size, or save as a PDF. Use card stock for bookmarks and certificates.
5. Fill in names by hand or on screen, and keep a spare copy of each page for new students.

Classroom tips

• Run a thank-you-note day with the border page for the cafeteria, custodial and office staff.
• Use the calendar page to plan the week: Mass or prayer service, open house, service day, teacher appreciation.
• Print the bookmarks on card stock, cut on the lines, and punch the small circle at the top for a tassel or ribbon.
• Keep two blank certificates in a folder so there is always one ready for a quiet moment of recognition.
