- Planned and utilized learning center resources appropriately
- Worked on course objective.
- Used good study skills for learning needs.
- Implemented plan towards weekly assignments, tests, etc.
- Demonstrated ability as a self-motivated student.
Students performance in these areas will make up 10% of their grade in the content area.
2017-2018 Course Catalogue is on the Purcell Marian Webpage
Scheduling for next year is underway. Many courses have prerequisites and require teacher recommendations. Subject area teachers will go over these (in specific) in class and teachers will make recommendations for next year. Students may view the descriptions of the courses on our web page by clicking the link belo

A copy of the teacher recommendations will be sent home to you. Considering these recommendations, graduation requirements, course requirements and post high school plans, the selection sheet should be completed. Please take some time to review the recommendations and together with your child complete this form. Students will bring this completed form back to school in order to make their selections online.
Parent Teacher Conferences
It is important that our students stay engaged with their classes and finish the school year strong. Towards that end, please plan on attending the Parent Teacher Conferences on April 5th. Touch base with your child's teachers so together we can move to a smooth end of the year. The conferences will be from 2:30-5:00. After report cards are sent out for 3rd quarter, you can call Carole at 751-1230 or email caroledahlquist@purcellmarian.org to set up appointments.

Student Merits
Each week we will highlight a few students who received merits from the staff of Purcell Marian for doing something great!
Ms. Winfrey has awarded Savannah Strickland a merit. "Savannah noticed I was upset Tuesday morning after learning about the death of my pastor. She offered a hug and some kind words." Great job, Savannah, at treating others how you would want to be treated.
Mrs. Cydrus awarded a Merit for Mischa Carter. "There was trash left on my tables and Mischa volunteered without prompting to pick it up and throw it away." Way to make The Castle a better place, Mischa!
Mrs. Flick awarded a merit for Tim Haas. "Yesterday when I was walking into school loaded down with stuff, Tim asked if he could help me--I didn't need to ask. He is a true gentleman." Thanks, Tim!
