Attendance
Parents, it is extremely important that we hear from you if your student is absent or dismissing for the day. We require verbal notification by 9:00 a.m. for illness absences or late arrivals if the student is coming from an appointment. If your student is dismissing early for an appointment, the student should bring a written note to Ms. Lafferty before 1st period to get a dismissal pass for the day. A note will be required within three days of your student's return for any illness absences. If your student is absent for three consecutive days, a medical note is required.
It is imperative, if your family is planning to be away on school days for a family trip, that you notify the attendance office in advance. The
Student/Parent Handbook
states that a note should be sent in to the attendance office one week prior to the planned trip. Without that notice coming to the school and no phone call from you, your child's absences will be considered unexcused.
Please reference the Parent/Student Handbook, pages 19-21.
Rediker Access
All parents and students should now have access to Rediker. If you cannot access the site,
please contact
Mr. Heilman.
Drop-off Reminder
A reminder that students are to be dropped off at the busport entrance only. Students should not be entering the building from the front entrance before the start of school.

Gospel for Sunday, September 23, 2018--25th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Jesus and his disciples left from there and began a journey through Galilee, but he did not wish anyone to know about it. He was teaching his disciples and telling them, “The Son of Man is to be handed over to men and they will kill him, and three days after his death the Son of Man will rise.”
But they did not understand the saying, and they were afraid to question him. They came to Capernaum and, once inside the house, he began to ask them, “What were you arguing about on the way?” But they remained silent. They had been discussing among themselves on the way
who was the greatest. Then he sat down, called the Twelve, and said to them, “If anyone wishes to be first, he shall be the last of all and the servant of all.” Taking a child, he placed it in their midst,
and putting his arms around it, he said to them, “Whoever receives one child such as this in my name, receives me; and whoever receives me, receives not me but the One who sent me.”
--Mark 9:30-37

Reflection
“If anyone wishes to be first, he shall be the last of all and the servant of all.” Our culture urges us to “keep up with the Joneses” and always seek to bring fame to ourselves. Jesus’ message for this week is simple: Have a child-like (not childish) faith, and serve others. A child-like faith means that we trust in Him and do not become jaded by life. We love Jesus and others with a pure love, a pure intention. Service is the expression of this love. Let us pray to God this week to help us love Him with a child-like love and to serve Him through service to one another.

Saints of the Week--Saints Cosmas and Damian, the Patron Saints of Chemistry, September 26
These twin brothers were born in the Arabian Peninsula and were trained as doctors. Since they formulated their own medicines, they are honored as the patrons of chemists. They are sometimes known as holy unmercenaries because they would not take any payment for their treatment. They were martyred for the Christian faith around 287 AD in Syria. Please wish our chemistry students a happy feast day on Wednesday!

Prayer for the Week
Dear Loving and Compassionate God, Giver of all gifts, we pray especially today for the mercy and love You give us. Open our hearts and minds to You. Give us the grace to accept your mercy. As we live each day, we pray for those less fortunate, especially those who are hurting, and whose wounds need to be healed. Help us become involved in ways that show them how deeply we care. Give us the personal courage to listen to their concerns and help them find the solutions to which they are entitled. as Your children and our brothers and sisters.
Amen.
