Dear Parents,
This Monday we are having a prayer service for the feast of St. Blaise at 9:00. All students will have their throats blessed. The HONORS ASSEMBLY will take place right after that. Hopefully you'll read this in time if you wish to attend.
I must ask all parents to make an extra effort to get your children to school BEFORE PRAYERS. Too many students have been arriving during or even after prayers day after day! School rules state that students are to go to the auditorium when they arrive. I pick up students there, bring them to the classroom, and then we go down to church together as a class. I will be taking students down at 7:50 so please make sure your child is on the line with us!
This is a reminder that we are having a Science Quiz on Wed. and a Grammar Quiz on Thurs. On Friday we have 12:00 dismissal. This is why I changed the last quiz for Thurs. Please have your students bring in a 12 inch ruler since we are working on measuring for this Math module.
