Parent/Teacher Conferences


Teachers will be contacting you regarding Parent/Teacher conferences. Conferences are November 10 in the afternoon and all day November 11 during the sign up times.
Catholic Sports/NVJCYO
The Office of Youth, Campus, and Young Adult Ministries share the following CYO update:

We will be unable to offer the inter-parish NVJCYO basketball program during its normal season (first weekend in December through mid-March). Even if safety concerns could be addressed, our survey we sent to pastors of parishes with gymnasiums indicated
that most of those spaces are not available because they are being used for classrooms during COVID-19. This makes it impossible to run the inter-parish league games at this time and impossible for many parishes to practice.
 
The NVJCYO basketball and cheer program are not being offered at this time.
Dress Out Day!


Dress in red, white and blue on Tuesday, November 3 as part of our recognition of the privilege and responsibility to vote! Jeans are acceptable!
