Message from the Principal
|
|
Dear Parents,
With one week of classes remaining before final exams begin, teachers are conducting study tables after school to give students extra preparation for these rigorous exams. The nature of the study table varies by teacher where some have material prepared in advance to cover and some require the students to bring specific questions over the content. Regardless of the teacher’s approach to study tables, these are an excellent time for students to clarify any questions that remain from the semester. Please encourage your child to attend as many study tables as possible.
As a reminder, the semester grade is the grade that appears on your child’s official transcript and it is calculated by taking 40% of their Quarter 3 grade, 40% of their Quarter 4 grade, and 20% of their final exam grade.
Have a great weekend and may God bless the students, families, faculty, and staff of Cardinal Ritter High School!
Matt Hollowell

Closing Prayer
Lord our God, Father of us all, grant that we may know something of you in our hearts. Each one of us is different, with his own particular needs, but we are all your children and should all become children of your Spirit. Then even in the difficulties of life, in the many struggles, temptations, and sorrows, we can keep up our courage and remain in the Spirit, who is victorious in every aspect of life. Protect and strengthen us on all our ways. We praise you for all you have done and for all the help you have given us. Amen.
