Many Gifts, One Nation:
A Day of Giving to Catholic Schools, Jan. 30-31
Twenty years ago, Saint Pope John Paul II said to an audience of Catholic educators in New Orleans, "Yours is a great gift to the Church, a great gift to your nation." Countless people in our country have been blessed by the many gifts of Catholic schools. They have carried what they have learned and witnessed with them; however, many have lost touch with our local Catholic school communities. It is time for these people to reconnect and give back.
It is with this recognition in mind that St. Pius X is pleased to participate in Many Gifts, One Nation: A Day of Giving to Catholic Schools. This 24 hour campaign begins
Tuesday, January 30 at 9 a.m. and runs through
January 31 at 9 a.m.
We ask you to reflect on the impact St. Pius X Catholic High School has had on your family. Please consider giving to the mission of St. Pius X Catholic High School with a gift to this campaign.

for more information.
We hope you will consider a gift
tomorrow
! Thank you.

Mini-Class Night Teacher Presentations for Parent Viewing
Because of the Mini-Class Night cancellation due to inclement weather, and the fact that Mini-Class Night could not be rescheduled, teachers have posted presentations of their courses for parent viewing on PowerSchool Learning pages. Please, take the time to view and contact a teacher should you have any questions.

Inclement Weather Make-Up Days Information
In the event that there is any more inclement weather and we have to close the school, we will have to make up days prior to the end of the school year as we have used all of our allowable inclement weather days to date.
IF NEEDED - the plan is as follows:
If any inclement weather occurs between now and
February 16, 2018, school will be in session on Presidents' Day,
February 19, 2018.
If more than one day of inclement weather occurs between now and the end of the school year, the final exam schedule at the end of the school year will be adjusted so that all missed days will be made up accordingly. This could potentially mean that exams for underclassmen could take place after the Memorial Day holiday.
At this time, this is for informational purposes only but wanted to share this plan with all families in the event that we have to make up any more missed school days due to inclement weather.
