This past weekend, Father Matera announced that he will be retiring in June. Please join us in wishing him well as he begins this new chapter! We have been blessed by his kind pastoral care and are so grateful for the wisdom he has shared and the relationships he has fostered in our school community by his active involvement in our daily school routine. His guidance and leadership have been particularly important to us as we navigated the Covid pandemic and all its implications.

IOWA Testing begins for students in grades 3 -7 on Monday, May 5/3/21.
From Monday, 5/3/21 through Friday, 5/7/21, students in grades 3-7 will be taking the IOWA Tests of Basic Skills. While these tests are one important indicator of a student's academic progress, we do strongly encourage you to help your child(ren) approach these tests with a positive outlook of relaxed confidence. Unlike many regular assessments, these tests cannot be "studied" for and the best preparation for them is a good night's rest and a healthy breakfast. Students that may feel anxious should be reminded that these tests are just one measure of progress. Please also keep in mind that it is very important for students to arrive at school PROMPTLY by 8:40AM on IOWA testing days. Late arrivals will not be permitted into a classroom if the testing has begun until there is a break. Additionally, we ask that you try to avoid scheduling doctor and dentist visits during the testing period. Students cannot be called out of class during a testing period and no announcements will be made into classrooms during testing.
Our May School Mass will celebrate the Feast of the Ascension on Thursday, 5/13/21. Some students will attend Mass in the church with the rest participating via livestream. At this time, attendance is restricted to students and faculty.
