Principal Notes
Dear Parents,
October is the month of the holy rosary. The Missionary Childhood Association has generously donated rosaries to our students. Tomorrow after mass Fr. Joe is going to bless our rosaries and lead us in praying it. The rosaries are for the students to take home and use at home. This is a wonderful opportunity for you to talk with your child about why we pray the rosary. (Here are a couple of links if you need help with this discussion.)
Progress Reports are in the blue folders today for grades kindergarten through three. Progress Reports for grades four and above are posted in the portals. Here are directions for how to access them:
To View School Progress Reports Grades 4-8 (Available after 4 pm today.)
-
Log into your portal account
-
In the box of your child, click "more."
-
Under the school emblem you will see a red scroll that says "Welcome Your Name."
-
Beneath that is another red scroll with your child's name.
-
There are menu tabs below your child's name. Demographics, Attendance, Report Card, Schedule, Discipline, Classes, Scores, and Reports.
-
Click Reports
-
The reports page opens. There are two reports, Progress Reports and Combined Reports.
-
Select Combined Reports.
-
The First Trimester Progress Report will open.
-
Reminders:
If you have any trouble accessing the report, let us know. If you have questions about your child's progress, contact the teacher. We will have formal parent conferences for grades 1-8 on December 8 and 9.
Thank you.
Have a wonderful week!
