A Note from Mr. Schmidt
St. Petronille Families,
It's hard to believe that we are fast approaching May and all of our end-of-year events! We kicked things off this week with a wonderful Jr. High Social and soon will be diving into Color Run and our 8th grade graduation events!
This is also a time of year when we begin inevitably looking forward to next school year. Our teachers will soon be diving into class lists to try to create the healthiest learning environments possible for next year. In that process, teachers take all of their knowledge about student strengths, needs, and personalities to create the best rosters they can. Out of respect for this process, we do not accept requests for specific teachers. Please do, however, let your child's teacher know if there is a rostering concern that you have.
Please reach out with any questions or if there is any way I can be a better support for your family!
God bless,
Eric Schmidt
