Principal's Pen
Summer greetings! I hope your time away from school has been enjoyable. I have certainly missed our rising 8th grade students and their families the last two months and look forward to welcoming all of you, along with our new Wildcat families.
There are two staff changes for the new school year. The faculty, staff, and I wish Mr. Wyda and Miss Andolina many God's blessings as they pursue other opportunities. Our new 7th and 8th grade science teacher is Ms. Caroline Mandeville. She is a product of Catholic education and graduated from the University of New Haven. Mrs. Patricia Spear will be the new 8th grade math teacher. Patricia is also a product of Catholic education and is a graduate of Dartmouth College. Both Caroline and Patricia are excited to join our community and are eager to educate the students! Please join me in welcoming these educators!
Nashua Catholic has acquired a new information system called RenWeb. I am very eager to share this new program with you. I will mention two exciting features at this time: Parents will have an app for their phone and will be able to access student grades as well as FACTS information. Text messaging will be available when school closes or school events are cancelled. Over the summer, configuration and training took place with our implementation team and staff members. The faculty will be trained during pre-planning days. Student schedules may be mailed later than normal this year. I ask for your patience as we navigate our way through this new system for this school year.
The faculty, staff, and I continue to prepare for your arrival. Enjoy these last weeks of summer.
Mrs. McFadden

Medical Information Updates Needed
A nurse from the Nashua Public Health Department will be in to review all medical folders. The Nashua Public Health Department does have clinics for shots. If your child needs updated immunizations, please take care of that as soon as possible and send current medical information to Nashua Catholic. Also, if any student uses an Epi-pen, we need to have a current diocesan form on file signed by your doctor. These are available in the office.
