The school year concludes! What a wonderful year we have shared. Together we have celebrated many happy occasions, holydays, holidays, birthdays, graduations, etc. We have played together and prayed together.
School e-mail system
Because our new system is in place this will become our new avenue for communications during the summer and the school year. This last message is being sent to all families who are on the 2009-2010 list. During the summer we will update the list, deleting graduates, students who will be attending new schools and adding new families.
Summer Mailing
The usual mailing sent during the summer will be done through this e-mail. Remember to check your email during the last week of July and the first week of August.
Items Being Sent Home
Along with Report Cards you should receive the following:
• A letter from Father Raaser about our fundraising.
• Summer school information if attendance has been recommended or required.
