From the Desk of Mrs. Debra Cunico
I am so happy to be starting another school year here at Marian Central Catholic! We are excited to be welcoming the Class of 2028 and new transfer students to Marian. It is also so refreshing to see our returning students walking the halls again!
The entire faculty, including a few new teachers, are primed and ready for a great school year. To prepare, our faculty participated in inservice days August 12th and 13th, focusing on data analysis, interdepartmental collaboration, policies and procedures, and school goals. Our teachers are also continuously working on developing rigorous lessons that provide students with a variety of approaches to their learning so that students construct their own knowledge, develop critical thinking skills, and become real world problem solvers.
In order to ensure that your student has a successful year here at Marian, here are a couple pieces of valuable information. By now, all parents/guardians should have received an email instructing how you can log into the Parent Portal. When you log in you will find that you have real-time access to your students’ grades and attendance records. If you have concerns or questions about grades or any other classroom issue, please always go to the teacher first, as they have the most direct knowledge about what is going on in the classroom and their specific classroom policies and procedures. You can find many of the teachers’ contact information and webpages on the Marian website at www.marian.com. It is vitally important that we start opening the lines of communication early and often if your student is struggling in one or more classes.
Students who find themselves struggling in any class have several resources to assist them. These include utilizing their own log-in to the Portal, accessing their teachers’ Google Classroom or Teams platforms, seeking additional help from their teachers, or signing up for NHS tutors using the code below. The Guidance Counselors, the Academic Resource Department, Father Warren, and the entire Administrative team are also there to assist students with any issues! We are proud to work as a team to provide your students with what they need to succeed socially, emotionally, spiritually, and academically.
Finally, please be sure to read the information below on our annual Back to School Night, coming up this coming Wednesday, August 28 at 7pm. We look forward to seeing you at Marian Central Catholic as you walk through your students’ daily schedule, meet the teachers and converse with Administration.
As I said earlier, I am very excited for this school year, stepping into the classrooms to see students grow and learn, and become the self-sufficient individuals we know they can be! Please know that my door is always open for your students and all of you.
Prayers for an amazing school year!
