Dear Cardinal Newman Families,
Hopefully you have all enjoyed this beautiful Mother’s Day weekend. We were able to celebrate a State Championship in soccer on Saturday. Congratulations to our team on a well-played season! Our softball and baseball teams continue in State play this week.
We are entering the second and final week of AP Exams. This year we organized the administration of over four hundred AP tests in our building. The bells have been silenced. Announcements are made over Schoology. Although there is a little tension due to the high-stakes testing, it has also been relatively peaceful.
Attire
I will ask that, as we close these final weeks, that students continue to pay attention to their attire. We want to finish well. While working on their final lessons of the year, please remind your sons and daughters to be clean shaven, wear belts, stay tucked, and give attention to skirt length. Skirt hem lines should be no more than three inches above the knee cap. Administrators will be doing random checks for attire throughout the coming weeks.
Senior Week
We are in senior week. Classes end for the class of 2021 on Friday. We look forward to celebrating their achievements in the coming days.
Upcoming
I want to remind everyone that Friday, May 21st is a noon dismissal. We will host motivational speaker Damon West that day. There will be a special schedule.
The Undergraduate Convocation will be held on May 26th. An Eighth Grade Recognition Service will be held on June 3rd at 12:30 PM.
Helpful Calendar Tool
If you haven’t already done so, please take a moment to sync our school calendar with yours at home. If you go to the calendar on our Website and open ‘Show all Events’, you will find a ‘Subscribe’ link on the upper right side. This will allow you to download our school calendar directly to your Google Calendar, Outlook, or iCalendar. This can be an invaluable communication tool, allowing you to see all school events.
Please enjoy the week ahead!
Christs Peace,
