Dear Parents,
        This Wed., Feb 1st most report cards  will be distributed by Father Antonio in the classrooms.  Dismissal for all students will be at 12:00. If a student is failing or there is a conduct issue, a parent will need to see the teachers from 2:00 to 7:00 p.m. that day.  If there is a problem with tuition, no teacher is allowed to speak to the parent until this issue has been resolved, so please see the principal first to get the report card. On Thurs., Feb. 2nd, individual pictures will be taken. Those who paid for these photos should wear nice dress up clothes. On Fri. we will have Mass and students will have their throats blessed. After Mass, honors will be distributed to each class.
