From the Principal's Desk
I hope you all had a blessed Easter. We are ending our accreditation process. Results will be in following the board meeting in May.
Next week, we continue with our NWEA testing. Please make sure your student is rested and eats a healthy breakfast.
Next Wednesday we honor those 7th and 8th graders who achieved high honors for Quarter III. Please join us during the Children's Mass.
Please keep our 2nd graders in your prayers as they prepare to receive Jesus in the Eucharist in May.
We hope to see you at our Easter Egg Hunt for kids ages 5 and under following the 8:30 and 10:30 masses this Sunday (see below for details).
Blessing,
Mrs. Maxwell

SCRIP Statements
Scrip Statements are being mailed out the first week of May to those families on the $3600 plan that still have a balance on their account. You may continue making purchases toward your $3600 balance until
May 15th. Those purchases will be added to your account. If you are unable to purchase the whole amount still owed by
May 15th, your TADS account will be charged a prorated scrip fee based on what you have already purchased. For example if you have purchased $1800 in scrip and you still need to purchase $1800 to meet your $3600 obligation, but are unable to do so, the prorated amount of the scrip fee of $100 will be charged. You will be billed via TADS on
June 1st for this prorated amount. Please contact Shawn Binkowski at 952-440-8103 if you have any questions on your balance.
Special orders can also be placed through the SCRIP program. For a complete listing of retailers, visit

Math Academy
Sister Melissa is offering the St. Michael Math Academy this summer for students entering high school or already in high school. The objective is to give students a head start in their math studies. Past students find it to be a very helpful program that makes math "much easier" during the school year and say that it cuts down homework time. We review familiar concepts and new concepts so they are familiar in the fall.
Classes meet the weeks of Aug 6th and 13th and cover both review and new math topics in a study group/discussion format. Classes are two weeks in duration, meeting two days per week. Students should attend the math class they signed up for in the fall.
Classes offered: geometry, honors geometry, algebra 2, honors algebra 2. Math analysis, pre-calculus, and calculus are available upon request. These classes are aligned to the math classes at PLHS, but they work for students attending other high schools as well.
Contact Sister Melissa for dates, times and syllabi.
