Thank you so much for working with your child on his/her mass part.  The students did a great job, and we have received many compliments.  I look forward to seeing you all tomorrow morning at 10:00 to celebrate First Reconciliation.  Your child is bringing home a laminated green card today that may be used during the actual Reconciliation.  I was impressed with how many students already knew the steps for receiving Reconciliation.  Way to Go!  Most of the kids also knew the Act of Contrition by heart.  All that practice paid off.

 

Every week, I will be assigning a new concept to complete in First in Math.  So far, students have been responsible for completing Skills Set 1 and First in 10s.  This will count toward each child’s math grade.  I will make sure that the concept is in the planner each night.  You will also be receiving a letter at the beginning of each math unit describing what standards we are currently studying in math class.  Right now, we are studying geometry- shapes, angles, and symmetry.

 

Since the weather is getting colder I wanted to include some reminders of what is expected for our school uniform.  Pants must be worn to school, even on gym days.  Shorts can be worn underneath the pants, but they are only for gym class.  Then pants have to go on again.

 

BOYS:  All shirts need to be tucked in, white or navy blue socks, and hoodies are only to be worn outside.  Please make sure that shoes are tied at all times.

 

GIRLS:  No leggings are to be worn under jumpers. Only “tights” with the feet attached should be worn.  Boots are not to be worn with jumpers.  Boots can be worn with pants, but only if the pants can go over the boots.  Socks should be white or navy blue, no pattern or colorful socks.  Post earrings only, and no nail polish is allowed.

 

Please refer to the school handbook from the school’s website for the complete School Uniform Code.

 

Thank you so much!  Enjoy the beautiful weekend.
