Weekly Snapshot #33 - Week of April 20, 2026
Week of April 20, 2026
There are only 8 Mondays until the end of the school year! We are getting closer to the finish line. Now is the time to wrap up those priority topics. Here is a link to the Archdiocesan Curriculum for your reference: AoP Curriculum Guidelines. There are NO dress down days for students this week, but there is the Variety Show on Friday. We will have a special schedule.
The third trimester will be over before you know it. Remember that you need FIVE grades for each subject by the end of the trimester. They should not be all tests. A variety of assessments should be used - classwork, projects, quizzes, tests, etc. I will be checking Option C frequently to be sure that grades are being posted regularly. Please devote time during prep periods to getting grades uploaded to Option C each week. Sending test folders home is not sufficient. The grades must be posted to Option C as well. You should have at least one assessment in the books by the end of this week. It does not need to be a test.
Kid Talk lesson follow-up letters are scheduled to go out to each grade this afternoon. There is nothing more that you need to do. If you did not fill out the form with when your lesson was presented, please do so here: Kid Talk Lesson Form
Please be sure that students have their golf shirts tucked into their skirts, pants, or shorts. Some of them are wandering the halls looking a bit hoboesque. I will begin announcing every day in the morning.
Please be sure to pull your blinds ALL the way down when you leave each day and be sure that they are closed. We appreciate your help with this.

Words of Wisdom for the Week
"Never be in a hurry; do everything quietly and in a calm spirit. Do not lose your inner peace for anything whatsoever, even if your whole world seems upset.” - St. Francis de Sales
Virtue for the Month of April: Justice
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 justice. Be on the lookout for those students who are fair to their classmates and friends. The virtue for May & June is Zeal.
