Dear Parents,
It is hard to believe that we are in week six of school. In spite of all the challenges, our students and teachers are adapting to this current environment. We are so proud of them!
As I mentioned before, we are providing you a survey to get your feedback as to the current status of our hybrid model. Please take a few minutes to share your opinion.
This will help guide us as we continue to navigate this pandemic.
Parent/Teacher Conferences are just around the corner. Next week we will send out a link for you to signup for a time to attend. Your signup time will be when you come to school. Once you are here, you will pick up report cards and go to visit the classroom teachers. We simply want to manage the number of parents in the building at one time. Please bring your student with you.
God Bless,
Mrs. Hoy

Prayer for Students
Lord our God,
in your wisdom and love
you surround us with the mysteries of the universe.
Send your Spirit upon these students
and fill them with your wisdom and blessings.
Grant that they may
devote themselves to their studies
and draw ever closer to you,
the source of all knowledge. We ask this through Christ our Lord.
R/. Amen.
