PRINCIPAL'S UPDATE

At last week's Career Day our middle school students had the opportunity to hear from several different special guests about various professions. They gained a deeper understanding of potential career paths, and also heard about how Gospel Values like teamwork and compassion play a role in choosing a vocation. I'd like to thank our guest speakers, volunteers, and HASA for taking the time to participate in this wonderful event!


In Christ,

Chris Milliron

SPOTTING GOSPEL VALUES

This week's Gospel Value Spotting award goes to Mrs. Wall's 4th grade class. They were recognized for demonstrating responsibility by Mrs. Taelman. They took ownership of their hallway behavior on the way to and from Spanish class and walked in a quiet line without any teacher reminders. Congratulations to Mrs. Wall's class for earning a dress down day on Monday!

EARLY DISMISSAL

NOTE FROM THE HEALTH OFFICE

Even though spring is in sight, we have observed a rise in viral infections within our school community.


To mitigate the spread of these illnesses, we strongly encourage practicing thorough handwashing, refraining from touching one's face or eyes, and avoiding close contact with individuals showing symptoms.



For the well-being of our school community, please be vigilant for the following symptoms in your child. If any are present, we kindly request that you keep them at home:

  • Fever or feeling feverish/chills
  • Persistent cough
  • Sore throat
  • Muscle or body aches
  • Headaches
  • Fatigue/tiredness


Individuals experiencing illness or fever, regardless of the cause, should remain at home until they have been fever-free for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication and are feeling significantly better overall. If your child needs any type of medication at school, please contact the Health Office or complete these forms. Medications must be brought into the office by a parent; students may not have any type of medicine in their possession at any time while on school premises. 


Thank you for your cooperation in maintaining a healthy environment for all.
