I hope you all have enjoyed your 4 day weekend. The WASC/WCEA Accreditation team visit is over. They had a good three days on our campus. They were in and out of classrooms and had an opportunity to talk to some of the students.
Thank you to all of you that signed and returned the report cards so promptly. It was much appreciated. Thank you to all that have signed and returned the permission slips for the Catholic Schools Mass at St. Patrick's. If you have not already returned the permission slip, please do so as soon as possible. I will be in need of drivers. If you can help out it would be greatly appreciated.
The Saturday evening 5:00 mass, January 26,will kick off Catholic Schools Week. Make sure your child wears their school uniform to the mass that they are attending. More information about the week will be in next week's blog. There will be an Open House at school on Sunday, January 27, from 10:00-12:00, to help kick off Catholic Schools Week.

Any coat or jacket may be worn at recess but may not be worn in the classroom.
Please check the handbook for hair accessories. Some that are worn are not acceptable.

Please remind your child to use the bathroom during recess and lunch hour. Students are asking to leave during instruction time, during tests and during assignments.
