Hawk Happenings: March 14th

Holy Rosary Regional School/Juan Diego Academy Community

Message from the Principal

Happy Wednesday!

In honor of St. Patrick's Day (which is Saturday), the kids will be allowed to wear green tops with jeans tomorrow. If they do not have a green top, they are welcome to stick with the Holy Rosary Spirit Gear. Remember, we are closed on Friday. The teachers will be engaged in two different professional development opportunities. The Pre-K teachers will be working on a language teaching method called Total Physical Response with Mrs. Farias. The teachers in Kindergarten through grade 8 will be at St. Pat's doing work on differentiated instruction to reach all learners. We will see everyone back on Monday morning!


Blessings,

Katie Dempsey

Principal

Upcoming Events:

  • Thursday, Mar. 15th - Communication Envelopes due back to the office, Green and Jeans Day or Spirit Gear!

New Name Approved!

As of this Monday, we have officially been approved for our new name: Holy Rosary Bilingual Academy! The website is up (holyrosarybilingual.org) and it forwards to our current website. In the coming weeks and months, we will begin transitioning the web addresses, emails, and all other items to the new name. Please note that any uniforms and spirit gear that you currently have is fine for next year, regardless of having the old name on them. As long as the item fits properly and is in good condition, you are welcome to use it for next year. We will be getting the new logo in place in the next few weeks so that people can purchase the new uniforms and Spirit Gear, as well. Stay tuned...


Have you seen the billboard along I-5? It is visible if you are heading northbound near the SeaBay boat dealership heading up the Fife hill.

Invoices Coming Home Today!

Only families who are receiving invoices will receive a Communication Envelope today. Please remember that anyone who has a bill for tuition, extended care, or meals and is not on the Auto Pay (Facts) will receive an invoice. It is due immediately. It is not too late to sign up for FACTs for this year or next, so let us know if you need help. It makes bill paying a whole lot easier!
