From the Desk of Ellen Knippel, Principal
Hopefully everyone has received their child's report card (Gr. 1-8). If there are any questions regarding your child's grades please contact the teacher directly. With the new grading system, we are very pleased and excited about the amount of specific information that we are able to give you regarding your child's progress. We are finding that this method of grading helps your child to take true ownership of their learning. It is a great way for all of us (teachers, parents, and students) to work together to help our students to succeed.
Conferences (by request only) will take place on Wednesday, November 15th from 3-5pm. Conference times have been assigned and sent home. However, if you feel that you would like to meet with a teacher(s), please contact the school office and we will find a time for you.
Conferences for ALL students will be held after the second quarter report cards.
Tis the Season of Giving! We have just finished Operation Christmas Child (we will be blessing the boxes on Wednesday at Mass and sending them off) and are in the midst of food baskets for The House of Peace. Soon we will begin the Parish Giving Tree and before we know it the "Souper Bowl".
We realize there are many opportunities here at school for your family to participate in "giving back". We also realize that everyone does not have the means to contribute to everything or chooses to do other family projects.
Please do not feel pressured into participating in everything we do at school. We encourage participation but do not require it. Perhaps, if you have a family tradition or cause, your child might like to share that with the class.
Blessings,
Mrs. Ellen Knippel
