We also thank you for your contributions to our Season of Giving drives. Let us pray that our donations provide comfort and assistance, and for an ever-increasing gratitude for the many gifts God has given us.

I hope you have a Thanksgiving surrounded by family and friends, enjoying good food and plenty of laughter.

Quarter 1 Honor Roll

First quarter honor roll has been posted on our website under Latest News. Congratulations to our honor roll students!

Semester Finals Attendance

With semester exams approaching before our Christmas break, we wanted to remind parents of our policy from our Student Handbook:

Testing and Absence – Semester Final Exams

Students must be present during all scheduled finals. The only excused absence is one due to extreme illness. A doctor’s note is required for verification. If a student is ill and needs to reschedule an exam, they must contact Vice Principal Abby Teeters, abteeter@cdeducation.org, for permission and arrangements. Exams will not be rescheduled for vacations, club sports, etc. Absences due to reasons other than illness may result in the student receiving 80% of the grade earned.

Please examine our finals schedule closely and plan vacations accordingly. Inform family members, club coaches, employers, parish leaders working on service trips, retreats, etc. that students are not available until exams are over. Please do not schedule doctor’s appointments, elective surgery, etc. during this time.
