St. Petronille Families,

I hope this message finds you well and enjoying time with your families! I wish you a blessed remainder of the Triduum and a very happy Easter to everyone in our community.

Please recall that Wednesday was our mid-trimester progress report date, so please be sure to check your child's grades on FACTS if they are in grades 4-8. Please also feel free to reach out to teachers with any concerns you might have.

Have a happy Easter! We look forward to being back in action on Tuesday!

God bless,

Eric Schmidt

Principal

What an incredible 8th Grade trip to Washington DC! Our soon-to-be graduates saw all of the sights in our nation's capital, including the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception!

On Tuesday, we honored students who best demonstrated our March CHARGERS Trait of being Respectful! It is truly a blessing to have students who strive so strongly to show one another the character traits that we spotlight each month!

We had some great fun doing a robot Easter Egg Hunt in the PLC on Tuesday! What an incredible way to introduce our young students to some of the amazing technology they get to use during their St. Petronille career!
