Friday letter

October 1st, 2010
Dear Parents,

This Tuesday we had a super successful Open House night with more than 85% of students represented. Thank you parents for showing your commitment to and support of your child's education. We look forward to a rewarding year for both you and your children!

All students in grades K-8 will be given an individual reading assessment during the month of October. The results will be shared during parent teacher conferences in November.

You should have received your password for our new on-line program, My Students Progress. If you have any problems or questions, please contact Mrs. Ann French.

On Wednesday, students were able to make their confession with Father Ralph. Please encourage your children to attend if you would like them to go to confession. Please practice the Act of Contrition with your children. This is the version used at school:

O my God, I heartily sorry for having offended thee and I detest all my sins because they offend Thee, my God, Who art all-good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve with the help of Thy grace, to sin no more, and to avoid the near occasions of sin. Amen.

This week we would like to introduce you to John Jablonski, our newly hired temporary custodian. John is a native of Norwich and graduated from Valley Heights Christian Academy. In his free time, John likes to spend time with Tara and their 13 month-old baby girl, Angelina. John also likes the great outdoors. John is doing a great job helping us to keep our school clean and we want to thank him for that!

All students should be in their classrooms by 8:00am. Students not in their classrooms by 8:05am will be marked tardy.

Today we celebrated our monthly Mass planned and organized by students in grades 6th-8th. Starting today the entire student body will be praying a decade of the rosary after each Mass. Our next school Mass will be 9:00am on Monday, November 1st to celebrate the feast day of All Saints. We hope to see you there!

Sincerely,

Gene and Mary
