Pius XI Family Newsletter | May 15, 2024

Dear Lord, help us to embrace each moment with a spirit of perseverance, knowing that through these experiences, we are being refined and strengthened in our faith. Teach us to wait on Your timing, not rushing ahead or growing weary when progress seems slow. Colossians 1:11 “Being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience.” Remind us of the value of patience as a fruit of the Spirit, which develops depth and maturity in our walk with You. Amen.

Letter from the Principal

We will not have early release on Wednesday, May 22nd, but will have an early release on Friday, May 24th. May 24th will also be the day for our senior TAC parties, as well as Senior Awards\Baccalaureate Mass. The last day for seniors is Friday, May 24th. We will have graduation practice, right after senior awards. 

May 28-30 is our regular exam week. Please note the special schedule below. Also, a reminder that students who do not have exams, do not need to be on campus. However, students will be able to follow their normal schedule and attend any and all resources and classes, if they are on campus. Our goal is to create a focused and respectful environment in the school for exams. Students should not come to school on these days just to hang out. The building will be quiet (other than the Union), and students are expected to study or be in exams.

Padres y Guardianes,

Ahora que el calendario llega a mayo, quería brindarles el calendario de exámenes finales para el segundo semestre. El horario reflejará lo que hicimos en enero; consulte a continuación para obtener más detalles. Nuestros Seniors comenzarán los exámenes el lunes 20 de mayo. Si bien tenemos algunas clases que incluyen estudiantes de tercer y cuarto año, la decisión de que los estudiantes de tercer año tomen los exámenes de último año dependerá del maestro de cada salón de clase. Revise esta hoja de cálculo si tiene un Senior o un Junior para ver cuándo se llevarán a cabo los exámenes para Seniors durante la semana del 20 de mayo (la hemos organizado para distribuirlos) y si su Junior tomará el examen con Seniors. Tendremos un campus abierto para nuestra semana regular de exámenes a partir del 28 de mayo. NO tendremos un campus abierto para la semana de exámenes de los Seniors y el horario/día escolar se desarrollará con normalidad.

Community Updates

Updates from the PPO

Thank you, thank you, thank you to all of the parents that contributed towards Teacher Appreciation Week at Pius XI last week.

The teachers were treated to a fun week of food and gifts.

Monday started off with a healthy salad bar lunch and fridge stocked with drinks courtesy of the PPO. Tuesday the teachers and staff started the day off right with Bagels and Coffee donated by Starbucks. Wednesday entailed a scrumptious BBQ lunch donated by O’Sullivans. Thursday the teachers were surprised with a froyo bar donated by YoMama. The week ended on Friday with every staff member receiving a $10 gift card donated by Saz’s and an additional $20 gift card donated by parents and the PPO.

We wanted to thank you for helping the PPO treat the teachers and staff at Pius, they truly make a difference in our student’s lives.
