Thank you so much to Mrs. d'Escoto who has generously offered to make the treat for the Blessed Mother's birthday.  Thank you for helping us celebrate this important day!

So far, we have not had a problem with missing homework. If a student forgets their homework, you will receive a phone call at recess to let you know. They will not receive credit for that assignment. They may need to complete the assignment so that they will understand the material; however, we do not give credit for late work in junior high. I appreciate your help and support with this matter. It truly is for their continued success in life, that we teach them the importance of responsibility.

Eucharistic Adoration--If you are not familiar with this Catholic tradition, ask your child about it.  We will be going to Eucharistic Adoration in the chapel once a week.  It's a wonderful, peaceful time to spend some time in prayer.  If possible, spend some time discussing with your child some prayer needs of your family and friends.  They can bring these to Jesus in prayer at adoration.
