From the Principal

I believe that I shall see the good things of the Lord in the land of the living.

Psalm 27

Hello Everyone!

Uniform Vendor Survey Thank you to all who took the time to complete the survey; if you haven’t already, please take a minute to fill it out. Your input is very important to us.

i-Ready Diagnostic Results for Kindergarten-8th grade - Today your child will be receiving a printed copy of their i-Ready results for the beginning diagnostic to bring home. The following resource Understanding Your Student’s i-Ready Diagnostic Results may be helpful as you discuss the results with your child. The students will have a second diagnostic in January to check progress mid-year. Please reach out to your child’s teacher if you have specific questions about the results or check out the i-Ready family center.

Mark your calendars! Students will be attending mass on Friday, Nov. 1 for All Saints Day instead of on Tuesday that week. Students are invited to DRESS AS THEIR FAVORITE SAINT on that day. All students who come dressed as saints, will participate in a procession at the beginning of mass.

Have a wonderful week!

Ms. Booth
