Message from the Principal
|
|
Dear Families,
What a busy time of the year! With finals just around the corner, it was a blessing to take a step back this week and kick off the Advent Season with a Penance Service. I want to send out a special thank you to all of the West Deanery priests who gave up part of their day to spend it at CRHS.
As we come to the end of the semester, I truly hope that each and every student has enjoyed their time at CRHS over the past 18 weeks. While classes get difficult and schedules keep students busy, I hope that students have grown in their faith while also obtaining a top notch education during the first semester.
With semester grades being finalized in just over a week, I want to take a brief moment to notify parents that we are still working closely with Family Link to address the views that are available for parents. If you click into each course, the semester grade that is listed is accurate. In a couple of the courses, there is a score appearing in the “Current Progress” window that is not the semester grade. Please continue to look at the semester grade as you check the progress of your student(s) and I will continue to update you in regards to our progress with Family Link.
I wish everyone the happiest of holidays as we close out the semester and celebrate the Birth of Jesus!
God Bless,
Mr. Pelych
