Week of March 3, 2019

Dear Students and Parents,

 We are wrapping up the last week of Trimester 2.  Please take time to turn in any missing assignments prior to Friday as we begin closing the trimester and creating progress reports.  The faculty and staff had a wonderful weekend at Mount Saint Mary's participating in an Archdiocesan professional development day.  We are proud of all of the presenters and look forward to putting our learning into practice to help our students.
  We have over 50 7th and 8th grade students who have verified that they can attend our first annual STEM night to run stations.  I will be creating groups and meeting with those students beginning next week to help plan those activities.  All of the prep will take place in school.  If you have any additional questions, please email and let me know.
