TESTING WEEK SEPTEMBER 18 - SEPTEMBER 22
TERRA NOVA TESTING: Terra Nova testing will be administered to students in Grades 2 through 8. Taking tests can be hard work – requiring lots of energy. We recommend that students get plenty of rest and eat a nourishing breakfast and lunch on test days. Please be sure to have your children arrive at school on time. In addition, we would ask you to schedule routine doctor/dentist appointments away from next week. Homework assignments will be minimal during test week. Most importantly, don't forget to ask your child(ren) about the testing each day. Thank you!
IF YOU ARE LATE FOR SCHOOL...
School starts promptly at 7:45 am for Gr. 4-8 students and 8:00 am for PK through 3rd grade.
We understand! Traffic happens occasionally... backpacks are left at home...alarms forget to chime.
However, if your child is consistently late or picked up early, they are missing valuable instruction time. Please consult our school website and Parent-Student Handbook concerning attendance policies.
On a Mass day, students who are tardy will need to be walked into the office, drop off backpack, and walked by parents to church. Mass starts at 8:15 AM on Wednesdays.
DISMISSAL PROCEDURE
Dear Parents,
Parents in grades PK-3 will be permitted onto the campus to pick up their children. Please park in the church lot, the East gate will be open at 2:30 and 2:40pm. All parents need to carry their family placard to show the staff member assigned to the gate. Any family that forgets this will need to go to the office for ID verification before gaining access to the campus. Thank you and please reach out with any questions your family may have.
Sincerely,
Dr. Katie Kiss
Principal
Mr. Mertzman
