There are always factors that can divide our school community. The COVID-19 Pandemic, the Election, Social Media, and everyone’s perceptions and opinions can cause dissention among us. We can all fall into this trap and lose sight of what is truly important. Our egos and entitlement can overtake our virtues of humility and empathy. I know I have let it happen on occasion in my life, and I'm not proud of it.
But, we all have a gift within our hearts and minds that we can use to unify our school community and live the life Christ asks of us....
GRATITUDE
Gratitude enables us to best utilize our virtues of humility and empathy. Having gratitude allows us to be thankful for others and think of ourselves less. Having gratitude allows us to empathize with what others are going though and appreciate them in our lives.
“It is not happiness that brings us gratitude. It is gratitude that brings us happiness.”

"Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful." - Colossians 3:15 |

Hello St. Catharine families,
Wow! We have all been working so hard to learn this new technology platform in Digital Academy and I can already see our students (and parents) beginning to get the hang of it. Here are a few things to consider if your student is struggling with Digital Academy:
- Digital Academy works best with Google Chrome. Did you know that you can get Google Chrome in the App store for Mac devices?
- Students should log in (with their login credentials, not a parent's login information) through Digital Academy or through Clever rather than through Google.
- Consider if your version of Chrome needs to be updated. Check this link to learn how:
- Click the same link above ^^to do a hard refresh on Digital Academy or to delete your browser data.
- If all else fails, you can call The Digital Academy 833-222-3359 in Cleveland between 8am - 5pm for technical support.
Bendiciones,
Señora Carmon
