Dear Parents/Guardians:

We have officially run out of tissue boxes. If you would, please send in one box of tissues so that we can get through allergy season. 🙂  Thank you!

Ms. Klein

Dear Parents/Guardians:

Before the break, the 8th grade students were given information regarding the Knights of Columbus scholarship essay. Students attending a Catholic high school should complete this essay and turn it in to the Knights of Columbus no later than May 9th. There are three $1000 scholarships available. One for a boy and one for a girl. The third is the Sir Knight Tim Suter Catholic Living Award for either a boy or a girl.

Mrs. Canal and I would be happy to read any essay submission up until April 25th. After that they would have to submit without our review.

Dear Parents/Guardians:

Just a gentle reminder that the permission slip and money for the class trip is due on Monday, March 25th.

All club pictures will be taken tomorrow at 9:00am in the gym. There are no retakes for students who are absent. Names will be included as “not pictured”.

Art, Instrumental Music, Yoga, and Chess.

Dear Parents/Guardians:

I have been asked by some of the students as to whether or not their parent can join us on the trip. At this time, we have all four of our class moms coming with us. We cannot determine if there are going to be additional tickets and/or seats on the bus until all of the permission slips and payment is received by Monday, March 25th. Once this deadline has been reached, Mrs. Vasil will have a final count and only then will we know if there is room for additional parents. I do know that some parents are choosing to purchase their own tickets and meet us at Liberty State Park on that day. Either way, all parents must have “Protecting God’s Children” in order to accompany us on any trip or event.

Grades 5A and 5B will visit the Book Fair on the following dates:

5A – Monday, March 4th

5B – Wednesday, March 6th

Tomorrow is a half day with dismissal at 12:00. It is also a $1.00 Tag Day.

Please make sure you receive the letter from your child today. If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know. Thank you.

Holes quiz on Chapters 8-13 – Thursday, Feb. 29th

Today, all students who are missing work were given a list of assignments to complete by Friday. Whether your child is absent due to illness or vacation, he/she is still responsible for completing the work. When they come home today, please ask them if they were given a list. If your child is absent today, and he/she is missing any work, the list will be given tomorrow. Otherwise, check Google Classroom. Any work not completed by this Friday will result in a “0” entered into PowerSchool. If you have any questions or concerns, please email me as soon as possible.

This Sunday, February 25th our school is hosting an Open House for new students and their families. We are asking for some volunteers from the Honor Society to help out on that day conducting tours of the school. The Open House is from 1:00-3:00pm and all students should arrive no later than 12:45. Students coming to help must be dressed in their winter uniforms. Service hours will be given for time spent volunteering. We apologize for the last minute request and thank you in advance for attending the Open House.

Dear Parents/Guardians:

As we quickly come upon the end of the 2nd trimester (3/3/24), I am concerned with the amount of missing assignments on Google Classroom.  Unfortunately, if these assignments are not completed and submitted by February 28th, grades will be posted as zero. For those who have been out of school for up to a week or more due to illness or vacation, it is very important that the student touches base with his/her teacher and makes an attempt to complete the work. I have been reminding students about their missing work, but ultimately it is their responsibility. Parents, please check your child’s Google Classroom and PowerSchool accounts for any notes regarding missing work. Please email me if there are any questions or concerns.

Any cupcakes or cookies for Valentine’s Day will be distributed at lunch on Thursday, 2/15. Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent, so no treats should be brought in to school until Thursday.

Dear Parents/Guardians:

Nominations are being sent to the Envision program in Washington D.C. for this summer’s Junior National Young Leaders Conference. All NJHS members are nominated for this program. Parents, please keep this in mind that the conference is not mandatory, and it is an honor to be nominated. Please look into the program before suggesting to your child that he/she might attend. The cost may be prohibitive to some. However, there are scholarships available which previous students have taken advantage of. Please go to jrNYLC.com for the information. Again, this is an honor worthy of noting on your child’s list of accomplishments. A letter will be sent home this week. I have also attached a tentative agenda for the summer program

.

If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.
