Attention Seniors Parents! Senior Retreat is Friday, May 5th at St. Patrick's Parish Center.

After mass our morning will include a few speakers, some senior memory activities, lunch and a Senior Walk at their elementary schools!
*Please remind seniors that this is a required school day and attendance will be taken.
Students need to bring: a sack lunch + drink as well as their cap + gown (no tassel). Please also remind students that there is substantial construction happening around St. Pat's and to arrive early.

Reminder: Attendance as the Year Winds Down |
|
As we get close to the end of the year, and particularly close to finals for seniors, we ask your help in doing all that you can to ensure that your students make every effort to attend classes throughout the remainder of the semester. While it may be difficult to decline a request from your student, particularly a senior student, to "call in" for them, we ask that you help us maintain a sense of academic purpose.
Despite what your student may tell you, there is no school approved "skip day" at any time during the year. We count on your partnership with us and on your integrity when faced with those requests from your students.
Thanks for all you do to help us ensure that your students stay focused on their studies!
