Dear Riordan Families,

We are excited for our first school-wide Mass of the Holy Spirit tomorrow, Friday, August 27. The day includes a lunch period (and lunch service), and we have adjusted the schedule slightly to accommodate more passing time for students. The school day will end at 2:30 pm.

Attire: Students should wear formal uniform on this day. If a student doesn't have a formal sweater because of shipping delays, they should wear a white dress shirt, dress shoes, and Mass-appropriate outerwear or sweater (recommended in gray or black).

ICYMI, there was a great article in this week's San Francisco Chronicle highlighting our move to coeducation and how our school community is embracing towards the future.

Sincerely,

Riordan Administration
The Band is Back!
It was great to hear the sounds of the Riordan Band practicing in a new venue this week! Look for more performances from this group later in the fall.
