Information About Finals Week |
|
Dear BMCHS Families,
The countdown to finals week is on! Like all things this year, finals week is going to look a bit different. Due to COVID restrictions, we are unable to offer our traditional two major exams (each exam lasting approximately two hours) each day with release before lunch. Instead, we will end our semester with the normal Miner Block and Friday schedule and students will complete a regular assessment or alternate form of assessment to demonstrate mastery level knowledge.
The 2020 version of finals week is as follows:
|
|
Teachers will be informing students about what they are doing in the final block periods by the end of this week. For each day from 12/11 through 12/16, Miner Block for all students will be by appointment from 1:30pm - 2:30pm. We cannot stress enough the importance of Miner Block. We want students who are missing an assignment, who missed points on a test, who need help preparing for an essay or test to attend Miner Block and get the help/work/points they need to have the best semester grade possible. It is like a true Grinch Christmas story; we do not normally extend deadlines or allow late work. We have had to adapt with COVID and online so please encourage your son or daughter to take advantage of this! We also have Miner Block after the final block periods are done. If a student has to miss a final period for whatever reason, we have this time to recover the work they missed prior to finalizing grades.
Have a blessed Christmas, Miners. In this unprecedented time, we still have each other and we happen to think you are amazing. We are thankful for all of you and wish you a wonderful time with family and friends (virtual or in-person).
Merry Christmas!

Sarah Smith (your Athletic Trainer.. also known as Coach Hadicke) is looking for students interested in being a team manager. This position needs to be filled for every single sport and it is a great time to learn how to contribute to your school! No athletic or sports med experience is needed. Just the desire to get immersed in a sport you enjoy and becoming an invaluable member of a team. Please email her ASAP at sarah.smith@bishopmanogue.org. She will be scheduling a zoom meeting in order to give detailed information and answer any questions you may have. Go Miners!

Hello Manogue Parents,
With our seasons condensed due to COVID-19, it's more important than ever not to wait until the last minute.
Winter sports are scheduled to begin January 2, 2021, followed six short weeks later by Fall sports, with Spring sports just six weeks after that. That's a SPRINT, and we want all of our athletes to hit the ground running--cleared and ready to participate the moment they are allowed.

Assistant Athletic Director

D.O.R.S. Recipients Show Gratitude
Here are some words of gratitude from Diocese of Reno Scholarship Recipients! Congratulations to these these Miners, and thank you to the Diocese of Reno for providing this incredible opportunity.
"Thank you for the D.O.R.S. It helped me become a better, more mature young Catholic man. I can lead my life wherever with a good head on my shoulders, so thank you!"
"Catholic education is very important to our family. We want the kids to grow up not only academically successful, but also physically, emotionally, and most importantly, spiritually balanced. In a Catholic school, they are not only educated but also challenged to make decisions and actions that are centered in Christ. We promise to fulfill our service hours not because it is a requirement, but because it is our way of giving back for this blessing."
"I promise that I will do my best to get good grades. I will do everything to make this opportunity not go to waste and I will make you very proud of me!"
"Thank you for giving our daughter the opportunity to have the best education... a Catholic education!"
"I am finally a senior at Bishop Manogue, and I am disheartened to say that this will be my last letter to you all. I have realized that your financial help has been a hidden light in my life. Until this year, I never knew how heavy the weight of bills could be, and without this scholarship, I am not sure how we would have survived. Despite all of the things happening in the world, I want to continue being active as a student. I found my home at this school, and even though this is my last year, I still want to make my mark. Thank you for being part of my history..."
"I know that this D.O.R. Scholarship will truly change my life! I promise that I will do my very best and not make you regret your decision of choosing me for this scholarship."
