Dear Parents,
The Back to School Nights were a huge success!
Thank you to all of the parents who manned the volunteer fair and all of the parents who signed up to volunteer. Thank you also to the always gregarious HSA hospitality committee for providing refreshments. The gleam of the new year continues and the energy in the school continues to be positive and joyful.
However, we still continue to take the safety of our students very seriously. In light of that, please click here to see a letter from the Secretary for Catholic Schools regarding one facet of school safety. I read the letter to all of the 5th-8th grade students today but I am supplying a copy to all of the parents. Please communicate with your child, as you deem appropriate, about the message contained therein.
Please remember that we will begin MAP standardized testing next week (Tuesday and Wednesday for middle school and Thursday and Friday for grade 2-5). This data will help to inform our instruction as we move through the school year.
We look forward to another joyful week and we’re excited that so many of you were able to join us this week.
Faithfully,
Chris Kelly
