During Ash Wednesday Mass this morning Fr. Denis reminded us all that this is the time of year when we focus on becoming better Christians and Catholics through prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. The scripture during the season of Lent is particularly rich and Fr. Denis provides an excellent homily every Sunday. It is a great time of year to commit yourself to attending Sunday Mass more regularly.

 

Students in First through Eighth Grade are bringing home mid-term progress reports today.  Although this is not a report card it does give you an indication of how your child is doing and if there is improvement needed in academics, effort or conduct. 

 

You may remember that, for this year only, we changed from a trimester to a semester system. Since the spring semester is a long one, we plan to issue a second progress report in April.  In addition to the progress reports, teachers send home weekly packets of corrected assignments and assessments for each child.  Taking the time to peruse these packets weekly is a great way to follow what your child is learning in school.  As always, we highly encourage you to contact your child's teacher if you have questions about his or her progress.
