Newsletter - Week of May 23-27

A Moment for Mission

I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another.This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.

(John 14:27)

A Note from the President

The last newsletter of the year - it doesn’t seem possible! My challenge is to fully express my gratitude for the partnership we share with parents throughout the year. Our students benefit every day by your involvement in fundraising and parent activities, at academic and athletic events, as volunteers in SO MANY ways and by sharing your feedback. It means a great deal to all of us here - THANK YOU!

Plans are well underway for next year. We look forward to welcoming a strong Freshman class, continuing to build the house system and as the supply chain allows, continue to make improvements on campus .. final touches to the E-Sports room, beginning work on the Innovation space, patio upgrades, updated windows in Merici, and a new LED marquee at the Monroe entrance. Your support makes it possible for our students to experience a top quality education at Ursuline, rooted in our mission and designed to meet their goals.

Have a safe, relaxing and enjoyable summer!

Peggy Slater

Safety Update - May 16-20

This week we had one new case. Be assured that if your daughter could potentially be impacted by someone who tests positive, you will be informed as soon as possible. A reminder that quarantine means that students are not allowed to come to school. It also means they should not have contact with others beyond their family outside of school. We are not only trying to protect Ursuline but trying to be a part of the community solution as well.

Numbers as they stand today (at least one dose of COVID vaccine):

Students: 72.00%
Co-workers: 93.8%

Mandatory Fall Sport Kick-Off for all FALL Athletes:

Saturday, Aug 20 3:30 p.m.

Team Meeting with Sport Psychologist and Goal Setting Meeting followed by 5:00 p.m. mass at St. Peter Kirkwood, followed by an ice cream social in the St. Peter school parking lot. ALL FALL Athletes MUST be in attendance.

Summer Work-Study Opportunities

Attention Work-Study Students: please be sure to continue to check your Ursuline email for summer Work-Study opportunities! Summer is a great time to start getting your 2022-2023 hours completed, and these opportunities are communicated to you via your Ursuline email.

Counseling

Seniors-

Congratulations on your upcoming graduation! We have a few final reminders for you:

Transcript Information
You do NOT need to request your final transcript be sent to the final choice college you indicated in Naviance. As long as there are no holds on your account, we will electronically submit your final transcript via Naviance in early June.
We will mail an official transcript to your home. Please do not open the internal envelope containing your transcript. As long as the transcript remains sealed, it will be considered official and can be used for registering for a summer class or sorority recruitment.
We recommend you download and save an unofficial transcript from IC, once your final grades are posted. This unofficial transcript can be used for good student discounts on car insurance and some sororities will accept unofficial transcripts.

Transferring College Credit
If you earned college credit while attending Ursuline, you must request to have your college transcripts sent to the college you are attending. Colleges will not grant credit based on your high school transcript. Please click here for instructions to complete this process.

Good luck at college next year!
