New and Notes
Dear Parents,
Happy New Year!!
I hope this year is filled with much love, peace, and happiness for each of you and your families!
We had a great first week back, everyone seems well rested and excited for the new year!
We are very busy this January; with midterm exams for grades 6-8, MAP testing for Kindergarten and grades 1-8, quarter two ending on the 25th, and Catholic Schools Week at the end of the month. We are looking forward to a fabulous new year and to continue working hard for the rest of our school year.
Warm Regards,
Tracy Strub
Welcome Our New Math Teacher
It is with great enthusiasm that I share the news of the hiring of Ms. Daniela Antunes as the new Math teacher for students in Grades 5 to 8. Ms. Antunes will remain at Sacred Heart Grade School for the duration of the school year while Ms. Garcia is on maternity leave.
Ms. Antunes earned a Bachelor of Art in Psychology from the College of Mount Saint Vincent and a Masters of Science in Urban and Multicultural Education. Ms. Antunes has successfully worked in Ardsley and Elmsford school districts and is looking forward to teaching math. We are excited to have Ms. Antunes join the faculty of Sacred Heart Grade School.
Please join me in welcoming her to our school community.
January 10th- Parent Association Meeting and Safe Environment Training for SHGS Volunteers
We are offering our first Safe Environment Training to all our SHGS volunteers on January 10th at 6:30pm immediately following our Parent Association meeting in room A122 (Ms. Lopez's classroom).
Safe Environment is a program developed with the Archdioceses of New York to train all faculty, staff, and volunteers that work with our students.
The Archdiocese's "Safe Environment Program" is dedicated to insuring the safety of children and young people who have been entrusted to our care in our parishes, schools, religious education classes, and other programs.
We hope to see many of you at the Parent Association meeting and this training.
