Dear Parents and Guardians,
Next week's conferences provide another opportunity for a face-to-face conversation with your child's teacher(s). This is a great time of year to celebrate gains and make some goals for the remainder of the school year. Students in Grades 5-8 are encouraged to attend conferences with parents/guardians.
Specialists will also be available for conferencing. In order to manage their time, I am asking you to set-up your appointment with them through e-mail. Here is their schedule:

Extra Eyeballs Needed
We are attempting to control the skateboarders that are "hanging out" in our parking lots. They are causing damage and have been intimidating our guests. I admit that I wish there was a skate park or some area that was suited for skateboarding. Our school property is not that spot. The police have asked us to call the non-emergency number, 291-1111, and report this activity. If you notice this behavior in the evening or on weekends, please help by placing a call.
Lenten Project
Every family is invited to help us in support of our sister parish in Chimbote, Peru. We have a large water jug located in the lobby, which we are attempting to fill during this Lenten season. During our grade level presentations, students suggested skipping a family event, such as a movie, or eating a simple supper and donating that money to this great cause. Let's see what we can do together!
