Pius XI Family Newsletter | June 5, 2024

At the end of this school year we give thanks to God: For all the teaching and learning that have taken place in our school, both in and out of the classroom, For the talents and gifts that have been shared and the challenges that have been faced; For the burdens that have been lifted and the hurts that have been healed; For the respect and care that has been given. We give thanks for the friendships that have just begun and for those that have grown. For the faith that has been lived in our daily struggles, For the hope that has lifted our hearts on the dark days And for the love that has kept us going. We give thanks for the community that we are, and we ask you to bless each family during this summer break that, that we may return renewed and refreshed to continue our journey together. Amen.

Letter from the Principal

We will be sending invoices for lost materials out over the next week or two. To avoid any additional costs to you, please bring these items back to Pius XI. Lastly, we need to collect all unpaid AP fees by the end of this week. Taking care of all of these financial responsibilities is critical in allowing us to close out our fiscal year and begin active planning for a successful 2024-2025 school year. One last reminder for all Seniors to notify Sara Albright in Counseling of final college and post-high school plans. You can send your decisions to data@piusxi.org. 

During the summer months, our building hours are 8:00am - 2:00pm Monday-Thursday and 8:00am - 12:00pm on Fridays. 

We hope that you had an outstanding school year and will enjoy a restful and safe summer. If there is anything that we can do for you in the meantime, please do not hesitate to ask. 

Padres y Guardianes,

Al comenzar el verano, tenga en cuenta que durante los meses de verano este boletín se enviará cada dos semanas. Sabemos que usted se concentrará en la familia, las vacaciones y muchas otras alegrías que trae el verano, pero aún tendremos información y actualizaciones importantes a medida que avance el verano. 

Asegúrese de que su estudiante haya devuelto su Chromebook (esto es para todos los estudiantes de 9.º a 11.º grado) y sus libros. Todos los libros y Chromebooks deben entregarse antes del lunes 10 de junio a las 2:00 p.m.  Enviaremos facturas por materiales perdidos durante la próxima semana o dos. Para evitar costos adicionales para usted, devuelva estos artículos a Pius XI. Por último, debemos cobrar todas las tarifas AP delincuentes antes del final de esta semana. Cuidar de todas estas responsabilidades financieras es fundamental para permitirnos cerrar nuestro año fiscal y comenzar la planificación activa para un año escolar exitoso 2024-2025. Un último recordatorio para que todos los estudiantes del último año notifiquen a Sara Albright en Consejería sobre los planes finales para la universidad y después de la escuela secundaria. Puedes enviar tus decisiones a datos@piusxi.org. 

Durante los meses de verano, nuestro horario de atención es de 8:00 a. m. a 2:00 p. m. de lunes a jueves y de 8:00 a. m. a 12:00 p. m los viernes. 

Esperamos que haya tenido un excelente año escolar y disfrute de un verano tranquilo y seguro. Si hay algo que podamos hacer por usted mientras tanto, no dude en preguntar. 

In Christ / En Cristo

Mr. Ryan Krienke
