Weekly Snapshot #24 - Week of February 16, 2026
Week of February 16, 2026
We survived a full moon, a Friday the 13th, and Valentine’s Day so far this month. We can tackle anything at this point! With the mostly uninterrupted schedule, it is a great time to hit those priority topics. Here is the link to the Archdiocesan Curriculum for your reference: AoP Curriculum Guidelines. As mentioned at our meeting, I have asked OCE to come out and provide a bit of guidance on best practices for implementation.
Lunch TIMES Guidelines: Just so we are all on the same page with lunch and to allow time for proper cleaning, please follow the guidelines below when you are on duty. Students should be silent in line when moving locations.

Statement of Intention responses are due to the office by March 6, 2026. You can place them in my mailbox in the office or leave them on my desk. If you misplace your paper, Teri has a few extra. If you missed our Faculty Meeting, I placed a paper in your mailbox.
Words of Wisdom for the Week
“Apart from the cross, there is no other ladder by which we may get to heaven.” St. Rose of Lima
Virtue for the Month of February: Honesty
All teachers are teachers of the faith in our school, so all teachers may send to the office at any time throughout the month names of students who are modeling the virtue of honesty. Be on the lookout for those students who tell the truth even when it is difficult or are just generally trustworthy. This one may be a challenge, but it is a short month.
