As always I hope this finds you all doing well. We have one more week of school before our Christmas Break. It is my plan that I will zoom into all the classrooms next week to share in at least one lesson with your children. I was able to visit a few this week and they were my favorite part of the week.
Progress Reports will be in the packets exchanged this upcoming Monday. Teachers completed the reports and provided comments for all the students. I initialed all of them after reviewing how the students are doing too. The Progress Reports allow for mid quarter updates around student performance. It’s a good reference point to move ahead successfully. Please check to see if your child’s teacher may want a conference with you. Sign the reports and return after Christmas Break.
As for Christmas Break and when we project to return for face to face instruction, I believe we all know that January 4
th is a goal that probably would not be the safest day to return for face to face instruction. January 11
th seems a real possibility. Know that before we return for face to face learning, we will have a mandatory parent meeting for different grade level groups. Guidelines for expectations from families to allow for face to face instruction will be discussed. The Newsletter next week will have more information around returning for face to face.
Here are a few reminders. 1. Christmas Ornament Decorations – Families may bring ornaments to put on our trees from now thru Christmas Eve. Families may decorate the three trees lit with lights outside the school building near where GD 3, GD 4 and GD 5 line up each day. Please take photos and send to teachers or to Clare Conway for social media posting.
2. National Junior Honor Society Induction Ceremony/Mass – December 10, 6:30 PM
3. Penance Service Grade 3 thru Grade 8 – Friday, December 11, 2020 No Mass. Teachers and Sr. Kathy will prepare students with guidance lessons from Father Andrew.
