Extended Thanksgiving Vacation
With the upcoming holiday, some families will be requesting more time out of school than we have scheduled. Please use the Attendance Reporting feature in your Parent PowerSchool account to submit planned time out of school before or after the Thanksgiving holiday. Click here for instructions.
This is a very busy time of year for the Attendance Office, so planning ahead is pertinent. The more we can get processed ahead of time the better!
Thank you for your help in this matter!

Eucharistic Adoration - November 20
On November 20, Notre Dame Academy's St. Norbert Chapel will be a space to pray with the Most Blessed Sacrament beginning with Mass at 7:20 a.m. to 12:47 p.m.
All are invited to come and experience the peace God promises us in the Most Holy Sacrament.

“The time you spend with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is the best time that you will spend on earth. Each moment that you spend with Jesus will deepen your union with Him and make your soul everlastingly more glorious and beautiful in heaven, and will help bring about an everlasting peace on earth.”
- St. Teresa of Calcutta

Fall Season Comes to Close
Our fall sports season came to close as the football team fell to Rice Lake in the State semi-finals (Level 4) with a score of 30-15.
Despite that loss, NDA athletes once again shined in their respective sports, winning four conference titles, two regional championships and one sectional championship.
We also had five teams that finished as sectional runner-ups, three State qualifying teams and six individuals who qualified for State.
A total of 325 students participated in athletics during this fall season.
