Dear Parents and Students,
All parents and caregivers are cordially invited to attend Parent Orientation/College Info Evening on Thursday, September 22nd, from 5:30 - 7 pm. Ninth grade families will gather in the Commons at 5:30 pm, where your daughters' homeroom teachers and core subject teachers will give brief presentations. Please note that it is too early in the year for teachers to be able to comment on individual student progress, but teachers will talk about their curricula and what your daughter will learn in their classes throughout the year. You will also hear from Anthony Burke and Beth Bixenman from our Development Office. It's a great evening to meet teachers in person and mingle with other new families.
Tenth grade families will check in and head directly up to the library on the 4th floor, where homeroom and subject teachers will be on hand to offer brief presentations.
Eleventh and twelfth grade families will be in the Dolan Center with members of our Counseling Department for a College and Financial Aid Info session. Professionals in the field will present, along with our esteemed counselors.
It's been a busy but promising start to the school year. Heartfelt thanks to our students and their families for all they bring to our ND community.
My best,
Jackie Brilliant
Principal
