From the Desk of Dr. Molly Grumich
Principal
Our spring Parent/Teacher Conferences are next Tuesday, March 7th. The conferences are from
6:30-8:00
in the gym. We ask that conversations be limited to five minutes or under. If you feel you need more time, please call a teacher to set up a separate meeting.
There will be no Town Hall prior to the conferences. Sr. Mary and I are participating in a webinar for the congregation. We will be at the Incarnate Word Foundation, along with our Board Chair, Dr. Karen Luebbert, presenting a portion of the webinar. The Incarnate Word sisters host these webinars throughout the year for the ministries to connect and share about the great things that are happening throughout the world at the various ministries.
