It brings me great pleasure to announce that we will kick-off our Catholic Schools Week with an all-school mass celebrated by Bishop Vann will be celebrating our all-school Mass on January 28, 2022, at 10:30 a.m. This is the first time that Bishop Vann will be on our campus since the Blessing of the Chapel that occurred in October 2018. I’d like to invite our parents to this special event to celebrate with us.
Always Striving,
Tim Tolzda
Sr. Principal

All students were issued an ID tag to attach to their backpack. In the upcoming weeks, students will be able to use the tag to check themselves into the kiosk located in the main foyer to issue a tardy slip. The system will log their name, grade, and time of arrival that can be pulled in a report by the Attendance staff. The use of the ID tag will streamline the process for students to check-in when they are tardy (the system will print a tardy slip for the student; they will not need to wait in line for a handwritten slip). The tags will not be used for any other purpose at this time |
