Dear Saint Paul School Community,

This week the Principal Evaluation Committee visited our school to see all of the great things OUR school has competed under my leadership during the past 6.5 years. They toured the school, and met with me, Fr. Nestor, teachers and staff. They also met via ZOOM with School Board and additional faculty and staff on Wednesday. 
 
While a challenging year with COVID19 this has been an informative process to identifying strengths and areas for improvement. It is truly amazing how much we have accomplished! It is not just the work of the principal but our Pastor, School Board, faculty, staff, parents, PTO, students, and grandparents and I thank you. 
 
In the coming weeks Fr. Nestor and I will be presented with teacher, parent and student survey results and a report outlining strengths and areas to consider moving forward.   
 
February 28 we become a mask optional school. Parents can decide for their own family whether a mask for their children is advisable. These personal decisions will be respected but the faculty and staff will not be enforcing it. This will be a decision between parent and child. 

We are hopeful that our school community will remain safe during this transition to being a mask optional school and remind you to speak with your children about respect towards others and their mask decisions.  

Thank you to …
·      PTO for a Valentine’s Luncheon from EuroMart
·      The Manning Family for a faculty luncheon from Lavishly Dunn on Tuesday, and 
·      PTO for our handmade handwarmers last week!

Sincerely,
Principal
