SILC NEWS

Pope Emeritus Benedict said: “The true law of God is not an external matter. It dwells within us. It is the inner direction of our lives, which is brought into being and established by the will of God. It speaks to us in our conscience.”

Please come out to celebrate Catholic Education, at OLPH Parish on Sunday Nov. 3rd Mass @ 7pm.

THANK - YOU PARENTS WHO CHECKED IN WITH THEIR CHILD AND THEIR ONLINE LEARNING

Check- in with your child to see where they are at in their course work. Take the time to engage in the conversation.

We have a number of students who have not submitted assignments.

Help your child set up a routine and time to do their work.

If you need support please contact us. Our Family Wellness Worker Katie ... is great at setting up schedules for students based on their specific needs.

Please note that the admin will be calling homes this week to check on those students, as teachers have reached out already.

We all want SUCCESS and completion of course work.

Zero is a place holder in PowerSchool. The course has been set up to "pace" assignments, with weekly due dates. If a student did not finish and submit an assignment prior to the due date a zero is automatically populated once the due date is passed. As soon as the student completes and submits the assignment for grading it is marked and a grade is entered. There is no-penalty for the student handing in the assignment late. The zero is a place holder only.

Hello from Mrs. Oikonen!

This week we will be participating in an online presentation from Mountain Peaks Discovery called the Butterfly Effect. This presentation will take place on Wednesday, October 25 at 9:30am. This will be for all grades.

We have Virtual Parent/Teacher Interviews coming up on November 1 and 2. You will find the link (sign up now button) to sign up for a 15 minute block on your child's weekly newsletter.

Take a look at what we will be doing this week.
