Dear Parents,
Mid Term will go out Thursday. You can check your child’s grades on Power School. At Open House you were given a folder with a paper that contained a password to log into Power School. There will be more grades coming, so if they did not do well on a paper don’t get to concerned. We will be getting more grades in order to bring up their grade.

4. Mrs. Corrigan’s Newsletter Week of September 11, 2017
Dear Parents,
When we complete a chapter in our Religion books I will send the book home with a worksheet for you to complete with your child. You can read the chapter with your child and that can count as your ten minutes of reading. When completing the Religion assignments together sets an example to the child the importance of Jesus in our life.
Make sure you sign their Weekly Report in their Graded Papers Folder. You will see a Conduct Grade of 25 or less. If a student breaks a rule I will take a point away. In my Open House link it will explain how this works.
If you have any questions please me and I will get back with you as soon as possible.
