End of the Year Report Cards
Dear Parents,
Please review your child's progress on schoolspeak. If your child is not earning the grades that you expect, reach out to your child's teacher ASAP. Students make the most progress when their parents and teachers work together as a team.
Mindfulness Program for Next Year
We decided not to renew our contract with the Mindfulness Program. While this program was very much needed during and post COVID, we feel that it is now time to refocus our attention on the core curriculum and our core mission which is to spread the Good News of Jesus to everyone. We thank the Mindfulness program for the skills and strategies that they taught to our students.
Also, we are in the process of hiring a counselor for next year who will be able to reinforce what the students have learned from the Mindfulness Program.
