Principal's Weekly Update
October 16th-20th
Dear Families,
We are one week away from Oktoberfest and the planning committee is busy making final arrangements. I will be sending a separate email at the start of next week that outlines the timeline of events and activities as well as last minute ways to support our largest fundraiser of the year. All money raised goes to offsetting the cost of tuition and keeping Holy Name an affordable option for families. We hope to see you there on Saturday, 10/21 for a day of fun for the entire family.
Students in Pre-K through grade 6 had a blast at the presentation by author and illustrator Michelle Nelson-Schmidt. The students were excited, engaged, and full of questions. Check out our Facebook or Instagram for pictures of the event.
Please remember that we have two half days this week. Thursday will be a half day for faculty professional development and Friday will be a half day for Oktoberfest preparations. Students should be picked up by 11:30. There will be no extended care on either day.
Have a great weekend.
Sincerely,
Megan dos Santos
Principal

Progress Reports are now available on Gradelink. Progress Reports are a snapshot of a student's grades at the midpoint of the trimester. This is a good time to check a student's progress and make plans for the remainder of the trimester. If there are academic concerns, parents should reach out to teachers. Parent/teacher conferences will take place on 10/26.
