Weekly Snapshot #31 - Week of April 6, 2026

Week of April 6, 2026

There are only 10 Mondays until the end of the school year!  We are getting closer to the finish line.   Lesson plans will return this week as we buckle down and get back to business as usual. 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 days for students this week, and there are NO special schedules.  I am not sure how we will function with a sense of normalcy.

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 this trimester 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.  

Spring Uniforms begin on Tuesday, April 7, 2026.  Dress code guidelines have been shared with parents.  Remember that light blue golf shirts, blouses, and oxfords are now an option in our spring uniforms.  

Words of Wisdom for the Week 

“He has risen. This is the heart of our faith. Mary was a silent witness of all these events. Let us ask her to help us also to receive the fullness of this Easter message.” — Pope St. John Paul II

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.
