4.11.25 St. Michael -
St. Gabriel Newsletter
| | Message from the Principal | | |
Dear St. Michael-St. Gabriel Families and Friends,
As we begin Holy Week, we will start with a small prayer service during our morning announcements each day through Holy Thursday. Students will also have until Holy Thursday to collect any donations they may have for the Missionary Childhood Association. Mission boxes can be brought to the office any day next week. On Good Friday, as is our tradition, students will be asked to work in silence, as a small sacrifice of remembrance of Christ’s ultimate sacrifice for us. We ask that they are quiet from the time they arrive until the time they leave school. Guidance and expectations will be reviewed with our students the day before. Please also remember that we will dismiss at 11:15 a.m. on April 18th after our Stations of the Cross. We also will not have school the day after Easter.
Next week, students in Grades 3-8 will also begin their ILEARN summative testing. As a reminder, please be sure your child arrives at school on time. Most of our morning exams begin promptly at 8:00 a.m., and we do not want students interrupting testing sessions that have already begun. We have both morning and afternoon tests, so please refrain from scheduling any doctors’ appointments during the school day for the next three to four weeks. Please also see that your child has a working set of earbuds or headphones for testing.
Lastly, over the break, we had about half a dozen report cards get returned to us because of incorrect addresses. As a reminder, if you move, please let us know so that we can make the necessary changes on our end.
God Bless,
Mrs. Ramos

Queridos Padres y Amigos de San Miguel-San Gabriel,
Al comenzar la Semana Santa, comenzaremos con un breve servicio de oración durante nuestros anuncios matutinos todos los días hasta el Jueves Santo. Los estudiantes también tendrán hasta el Jueves Santo para recolectar las donaciones que puedan tener para la Asociación de la Infancia Misionera. Las cajas para la misión se pueden entregar en la oficina cualquier día durante la próxima semana. El Viernes Santo, como es nuestra tradición, se les pedirá a los estudiantes que trabajen en silencio, como un pequeño sacrificio en memoria del sacrificio supremo de Cristo por nosotros. Les pedimos que guarden silencio desde su llegada hasta su salida de la escuela. Las instrucciones y expectativas serán dirigidas a nuestros estudiantes el día anterior. Recuerden también que la salida será a las 11:15 a.m. el 18 de abril del Vía Crucis. Tampoco habrá clases el día después de Pascua.
La próxima semana, los estudiantes de 3 al 8 grado también comenzarán sus exámenes sumativos de ILEARN. Les recordamos que asegúrese de que sus hijos lleguen a la escuela a tiempo. La mayoría de nuestros exámenes matutinos comienzan puntualmente a las 8:00 a.m. y no queremos que los estudiantes interrumpen las sesiones de exámenes que ya han comenzado. Tenemos exámenes tanto matutinos como vespertinos, así que les pedimos que se abstengan de programar citas médicas durante el horario escolar durante las próximas tres o cuatro semanas. También les pedimos que se aseguren de que su hijo/a tenga auriculares o audífonos que funcionen correctamente para los exámenes.
Por último, durante las vacaciones, se nos devolvieron alrededor de media docena de boletas de calificaciones por direcciones incorrectas. Les recordamos que, si se mudan, por favor, avísenos para que podamos hacer los cambios necesarios.
Dios los bendiga,
La Sra. Ramos
