FROM THE OFFICE OF THE PRINCIPAL:
 |
| Mrs. Crisci, Principal |
Dear Parents,
Thank you to all of the Camden Catholic families who came out on
Saturday night to celebrate our Ceilidh. The evening was a great Irish celebration for the dedication and blessing of our new dining hall. I would especially like to thank the Parents Association for all of their work in putting the evening together.
This week, I hope you join me in cheering on our Fighting Irish basketball teams as they begin the first week of playoffs. Please see the newsletter for schedules.
This week we have an early release day on Monday. Teachers will meet in professional learning teams after school.
Wednesday is a testing day for freshmen and sophomores. There is no after school study hall
on Wednesday.
Finally, senior parents are reminded of the mandatory senior parent meeting on Wednesday, March 4. We will meet at
7 pm in the auditorium.
Have a wonderful week,
Heather Crisci
Principal

ACTION ALERT
Issue: The ceiling for nonpublic school transportation, currently at $884.00 per pupil, has not been increased since the 2008-2009 school year. As a result, nonpublic school students are losing transportation services because of the costs incurred by districts and private contractors.
Action: Please call, email, or write Governor Christie on a continuing basis between now and the release of his Budget in February to ask for this increase. Please keep the following points in mind:
1. Public school students living within the designated mileage limits are never denied a ride to school of enrollment.
2. Nonpublic school students are dependent upon the bids submitted by public school districts and private contractors which do not exceed the $884.00 per pupil limit.
3. In contacting Governor Christie's Office, please describe in detail your own stories with respect to nonpublic school transportation.
4. Be courteous but firm in your request for this most important health and safety issue.
5. A question and answer document is included with the Alert. Please feel free to use it as needed.
You may contact Governor Christie's office as follows: Email the Governor http://nj.gov/governor/contact Call the Governor's office at 609-292-6000 You may send a simplified message through the NJCC Advocacy Network at: https://votervoice.net/NJCC/Campaigns/37671/Respond
