Dear Parents and Guardians,

I hope this letter finds you well and that you are enjoying a wonderful Spring. Congratulations to our students who made their First Holy Communion last week. The Mass was beautiful and we are so excited to welcome you to the table of our Lord.

Our baseball, softball, volleyball, and track seasons are in full swing and the school production of the Little Mermaid will be next week. Don’t miss this show! The students, teachers, and volunteers have been working tirelessly. It’s going to be wonderful! We are less than thirty school days from the end of the year, and know there are still many things that have to be accomplished before June 11.

As you are aware, we are in the midst of our third round of MAP Testing for the 2024-2025 school year. MAP scores will be sent home with report cards at the end of the year. If your child currently receives services from the commission for Compensatory Education or Supplemental Education, new 407-1 forms are required to be signed and returned so that services can be planned for the coming school year. Those forms will come home prior to the end of the school year. Those services are based on spring test scores. Students with scores below the 34% in achievement qualify for additional services. If you want your child to receive those services, then sign and return the form. If you don’t want your child to receive the services, then simply write declined on the top of the form and return it to school.

Mrs. Phillips and her team of volunteers will be completing the annual inventory of our school library. Please check around your house and return any library books to school as soon as possible.

Many thanks to the HSA and all of the families who donated to make Teacher Appreciation Week so wonderful for our staff. The week was full of special treats for our terrific staff. Your generosity is greatly appreciated. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful staff and positive partnership with families.
