A Note from Ms. Owens
Thank you to the Men's Club for their financial support which made the installation of new security cameras near the Adoration Chapel possible. The addition of new cameras also included a software update that allows the school to access and review video with much greater ease thus greatly improving our ability to maintain a safe and secure environment for our students, staff and faculty.
Thank you to Mrs. O'Keefe for contacting the Village of Oak Lawn regarding the safety of students and school families crossing Kedvale at the green strip. Last week, the village replaced the student crossing signage and added a second sign on the east side of the street. In the coming weeks, the village will also give a fresh coat of paint to the asphalt where people cross. Thank you also to the Village of Oak Lawn for their responsiveness to this request and for making student safety a top priority.

Academic Eligibility - Reviewing Grades (4th-8th grades)
- Parents/guardians of students with one or more failing grades were notified of their child's probationary status via email from Mr. O'Keefe. This information was also shared with athletic coordinators of the involved sports who notified coaches.
- If a child has a failing grade in the same subject area for a second consecutive week, the child will need to sit out of all co-curricular activities beginning Thursday and continuing through Wednesday of the following week.
- If, at the grade check of the next week (third week consecutive week), the child's grade improves to passing, they may rejoin the co-curricular activity(s). If their grade remains in the failing range, the "sitting out" period will continue. The "sitting out" period will continue until the child's grade in that subject is passing at the time of the weekly grade pull on Thursday mornings.
- Parents/guardians with questions about their student's grade(s) should contact the teacher of that particular subject area.
