Calendar

Happy New Year! I hope that all of you received the midyear email that was sent out over the holidays recapping the beginning of the school year. It is hard to believe that half of the school year is over and it is now 2024. I pray that you and your families enjoyed some down time and were able to recharge to start the next half of the school year. 

As a school, our number one priority is the faith formation of each of your daughters and the academic curriculum that we offer each day. According to the state and to the school policy, students are only allowed to miss so many instructional minutes. Beginning this semester, if your daughter is absent more than 5 days and does not have personal extenuated circumstances, (flu, Covid etc.), she will have to make up the time missed by staying Wednesday afternoons from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM until the time is made up. Each school day consists of 8 hours. Missed time will be made up hourly. Please know that work schedules will have to be adjusted if your daughter is required to make up time. It is imperative that for a student to be successful that she must be in school.

The attendance policy is attached for your convenience. Every parent and student signed off on this policy at the beginning of the school year.

Catholic education is very costly therefore sending your daughter to school is an investment in her future.

Remembering always Deus Providebit…..God Will Provide,

Connie L. Dantagnan
