Happy Spring-ish! What a great week and teaser for spring! The children have been enjoying the nice weather. I realize this brings confusion with boots vs. no boots, jackets vs. no jackets, and so on. Just a rule of thumb, keep sending the outdoor attire and the teachers will make the call. Friday, we are supposed to have snow again.
Our Knights of the Round Table was informative. Michael Flanagan gave a great presentation on STAR 360 and what it will do for our school. I was not able to video it, but here are the
slides. Stop in if you have questions.
This Friday, teachers will spend the day on mapping curriculum and our Self-Study. If you received the survey from the diocesan office, please complete it, to provides important information.
