Today is the Feast of Saint-Joseph!

Let us pray:  Oh, St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God, I place in you all my interest and desires. Oh, St. Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession, and obtain for me from your divine Son all spiritual blessings, through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

​​

LENT SEASON

Please reflect on this quote from Pope Francis during the Lenten season:  "God places no obstacles in the way of those who seek him with a contrite heart, because he goes out to meet everyone like a father. Let us not miss the opportunity to live our faith also as an experience of reconciliation."

ARK ASSESSMENT

FACTS Tuition Management

We will continue using the FACTS tuition management system. All families will be enrolled in the system, allowing parents to pay their fees online with a bank account or credit card at FACTS. Parents may also come into the school office to pay their fees as before. Please do not ignore emails from FACTS, as this is how you will receive your statements. A late fee will be assessed if payment is not made by the date indicated on the statement.

Parents/Teachers Communication

The best way for parents to ensure the success of their children is to keep an open line of

communication with the teachers. Remember that you can request a conference or email the teachers to stay informed about the progress of your child.Several teachers are using class dojo which facilitates collaboration between parents and teachers. Your children’s teachers’ email addresses are provided below:

 

1. Keep your email very brief.                  2. Provide a subject line that’s clear and specific

3. Be positive and cooperative                  4. Allow time for a response (at least 24 hours)​​​​​​
