“CARRY GOD’S LIGHT TO OTHERS”
ARRIVE, ARRIVE… BY SEVEN FORTY-FIVE
How poetic! But honestly, you help us by having your student here by 7:45 AM. Breakfast starts at 7:15 and ends at 7:40. You truly help all of us, students and staff, to start the day together, ready, and relaxed. Please see if you can adjust schedules and alarms, especially as we head into shorter days and time changes.
MASS
Mass is tomorrow, Friday, September 26th, at 8:30 a.m. in the chapel. You are welcome to join us for this Mass hosted by the 3rd grade class.
PEACEMAKER ACTIVITY
The September Peacemaker Activity will be held this Friday, September 26th. Students who stayed Peacemakers in September may be out of uniform, and receive a snack,Congratulations Peacemakers! If your student was not a peacemaker, they are to come in uniform and will do a Second Step class to continue to build their peacemaking skills.
ACCESS ACADEMY IS IN SESSION
Please remember that our middle school day begins promptly at 8:00 AM and ends at 5:00 PM. We kindly ask that all students arrive on time and that families ensure timely pick-up after school. Thank you for your continued support in helping our students succeed!
IOWA TEST OF BASIC SKILLS
Our testing is in progress in each grade (2nd -8th). Most testing will finish this week, but we may have some carry-over to Monday for additional tests or make-up tests.
COLD WEATHER AROUND THE CORNER
As the crisp, cool mornings start, it is a chance for us to think about cold weather. Make sure your child is prepared. Jackets are not worn inside the classrooms, so if your child is cold, they need to wear a Sister Thea Bowman sweatshirt (which can be purchased through the office) or a button-down sweater in our uniform colors: red, black, white, or hunter green.
POSITIVE DISCIPLINE IN THE HOME
As we work with students to resolve their problems through communication and problem solving steps, we ask you to take some time also at home to see if they can show you the steps.
