A MESSAGE FROM MRS. STALLMANN
|
|
Good Afternoon St. Alphonsus Families -
February is coming to a close and hopefully our snow and cold weather will end also. The snow banks are still so much fun for the kids so they continue to have fun at recess.
We are hoping the third time is the charm for our
OPEN HOUSE! And what better day to come to school and eat doughnut holes and other goodies than Fat Tuesday!
Our Open House will be March 5 (Fat Tuesday) from 5-7 pm. We will not have a hot dog sale but we will have lots of chips, doughnut holes, cookies, soda, and water for everyone to enjoy. We invite each of you to come to meet the teachers and celebrate the day before Lent!
Are you interested in learning more about the workshop method of teaching that we use at St. Alphonsus School? We will hold an informational meeting on Wednesday, February 27 in Room 403. Everyone is welcome to attend. We will hold two meetings, 5:00 and 5:30. If you plan to attend, please RSVP by 3:00 pm on Wednesday, February 27 to Mrs. Stallmann at mary@st-alphonsus.org. Please indicate which session you will be attending.
We use the workshop method in our literature classes and other subjects. We will go through a typical session using the Newberry Award books used in our 6
th grade classes. The meeting will be facilitated by Mrs. Thiele and Mrs. Stallmann.
Finally, Mrs. Radish contacted me with an update because she knows the students and staff are wondering how she is doing. Please read the response that she sent me:
“I have completed and tolerated two “heavy” treatments with two to go! By the grace of Mary, I am in the 10% of patients that do not suffer terrible nausea and vomiting associated with this type of chemo. I definitely can feel the difference of this heavy treatment in my body and have side effects but all tolerable considering the alternative. I continue to be grateful to be home as there are many days that I am pretty weak and very tired.
I know in my heart that the perpetual rosary is undoubtedly working and that the Blessed Mother is at my side. I would like the parents/students to know that their prayers are being heard and to please continue praying. I am most grateful. I will have surgery in early April.
Thank you for your support. Please give my best to everyone there, especially my “kids” as I miss them very much.
Maureen”
Have a great weekend.
Mrs. Stallmann

LIVING ROSARY
Our school family gathered Wednesday afternoon in the church. We all joined in the prayerful experience of the Living Rosary. The "Rosary" was composed of 7th and 8th graders. Each student recited the first half of the prayers and the student body responded with the second half. WE hope to make this a meaningful tradition here at St. Alphonsus School.

STAR RESULTS
We will begin our next testing window for STAR Reading and Math assessments on February 25th. All classes will complete both tests before March 8th. The results will either be given to parents at conferences or given to students on March 15th in an envelope addressed to the parents. You will see a record of the tests taken so far this year along with a graph plotting the student scores for each test. We use this data to determine what types of differentiation we can do as teachers to meet the needs of each student. As parents, you can use this to determine if your child is making growth as you watch the scores trend upward. This can give you an indication of the academic areas on which to spend extra time. Our hope is that with teamwork between teachers and parents, we will create a love of learning that leads to achievement in all of our students. We will administer at least one more STAR assessment this year.
