Dear Parents and Guardians,

Due to all of the e-learning/late starts last week, we continued Catholic Schools Week with our female staff vs senior girl volleyball game, a popcorn bar at lunch, and some themed dress- down days. In all of the celebrating, it is so important to remember the importance of our Catholic faith, which is the reason for our school. We are so blessed to be able to partner with you in helping your children draw closer to Christ while receiving an excellent education.

I want to share a few important reminders as we move forward in the quarter.

Progress Reports

Progress reports will be mailed home next week, so please be on the lookout for those. This is a great opportunity to review your child’s academic progress and have conversations about goals for the remainder of the quarter. Now is the time for students to make improvements and finish the second half of the quarter strong.

Spring Break Attendance Reminder

As Spring Break approaches, please remember that the days before and after Spring Break are mandatory attendance days. If your child is absent on those days, a doctor’s note is required for the absence to be excused. Unexcused absences result in no credit for missed schoolwork, which can have a serious negative impact on grades.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.

In Christ’s Peace,

Kari Jost, Principal

Estimados padres y tutores:

Debido a todos los días de aprendizaje virtual y los inicios tardíos de la semana pasada, continuamos celebrando la Semana de las Escuelas Católicas con un partido de voleibol entre el personal femenino y las estudiantes de último año, una barra de palomitas durante el almuerzo y algunos días temáticos de vestimenta libre.

En medio de todas estas celebraciones, es muy importante recordar la importancia de nuestra fe católica, que es la razón de ser de nuestra escuela. Somos verdaderamente bendecidos de poder colaborar con ustedes para ayudar a sus hijos a acercarse más a Cristo mientras reciben una educación excelente.

Quiero compartir algunos recordatorios importantes a medida que avanzamos en el trimestre.

Informes de Progreso

Los informes de progreso se enviarán por correo a casa la próxima semana, así que por favor estén atentos a recibirlos. Esta es una excelente oportunidad para revisar el progreso académico de su hijo(a) y conversar sobre metas para el resto del trimestre. Ahora es el momento para que los estudiantes hagan mejoras y terminen con fuerza la segunda mitad del trimestre.

Recordatorio sobre la asistencia durante Spring Break

A medida que se acerca Spring Break, por favor recuerden que los días antes y después de las vacaciones de primavera son días de asistencia obligatoria. Si su hijo(a) está ausente en esos días, se requiere una nota del médico para que la ausencia sea justificada. Las ausencias no justificadas resultan en la pérdida de crédito por el trabajo escolar no realizado, lo cual puede tener un impacto negativo serio en las calificaciones.

Gracias por su continuo apoyo y colaboración. No duden en comunicarse con nosotros si tienen alguna pregunta.

En la paz de Cristo,

Kari Jost, Directora

Prayer for Students

Lord our God, in your wisdom and love you surround

us with the mysteries of the universe.

Send your Spirit upon these students and fill them

with your wisdom and blessings.

Grant that they may devote themselves to their studies

and draw ever closer to you, the source of all knowledge.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

R/. Amen.
