This week, both Progress Reports (for grades 1-8) and MAP Growth Test Results (K-8) were sent home in hard copy. While these documents will not need to be signed, they will be discussed during
Parent Teacher Conferences.
Please be expecting a separate email early next week, inviting you to schedule your virtual meeting with your child(ren)'s teacher(s). While conferences are set to take place during the week of October 26th, they will primarily be scheduled on Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday that week.
Thank you for scheduling a time to collaborate and communicate with your child(ren)'s teacher(s). A true team effort and partnership is so important to student success!

A school tradition continues....
While the saints will not go "marchin' down Main Street", (as they did here in 2017!), we do plan on capturing some of our school traditions through a parade of sorts, and a candy treat!
Students have already begun learning about the lives of the saints, and researching their saint of choice for dressing up on Friday, October 30th.
Need some ideas?
Feeling the spirit move you to help with our celebration?
Bags of peanut/tree-nut free candy graciously accepted! Any donations can be sent to school with your child.... thank you!

HAIL MARY, FULL OF GRACE!
The month of October is dedicated to the Most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Keep praying the rosary with your children...
Our Lady of the Rosary... Pray for us!

Your support of our efforts is GREATLY appreciated.
