HOPE

What a powerful word! So many things

that we do have the basis of hope em-

bedded into the fabric. The new year

brings HOPE to all of us..

Catholic Schools Week

Jan. 31– Feb. 5 is a celebration of Catho-

lic schools. We have so many things to

celebrate! As Catholic schools continue

to work to provide in-person instruction , deal with daily

COVID challenges, and make plans to alter instruction al-

most on a daily basis, we can celebrate this important week

as a true testament of strength and perseverance.

Learn and Pray Like A Champion Eve-

ryday

The pictures below exemplify our daily goal of learning and

praying like a champion everyday. We do a lot of both!

From morning to afternoon all school prayer, and in be-

tween. Growing in Christ and Learning with Christ .

From the Principal….

Interesting fact...Student at-tendance rate in 2019/20 for the first semester K-8 (73 days): 96.72%

Student attendance rate in 2020/2021 for the first semester (K-4) (64 days): 95.92%. Due to remote/in-person for MS, the percentage is not computed in-to the K-4 %.

Our middle school students are seeking at least 15 hours of documented community and/or church service. If you know of an organization that needs help, we have the stu-

dents who can help! Contact us.

Parents are encouraged

to take their child’s tem-

perature before coming

to school. Each child will

have their temperature

checked before entering

the buildings each

morning. Home temper-

ature checks will help us

out tremendously. If

your child is run-

ning a fever please DON’T SEND TO

SCHOOL! Kudos to parents….this

has not been an issue this year!

If your house-

hold is experi-

encing COVID

symptoms and

are awaiting to take the test,

or results, please keep your

child home as a precaution.

Their absence will be excused

and we will certainly work

with them to get them caught

up. We would rather focus on

preventing the possible

spread than risk possible ex-

posure. Always remember to

communicate with us to keep

us informed of your situation

so we can help provide guid-

ance regarding attendance.
