The Trekker Times
August 31, 2020
Principal's Pen
As you can see from above, I have renamed our weekly newsletter the Trekker Times. As I'm sure you remember, last year we had our mascot contest. We are now the Bishop Baraga Trekkers. We follow the example of Bishop Frederic Baraga, the first bishop of the Marquette Diocese, who trekked on snowshoes throughout the Upper Peninsula to spread the gospel. Every morning we say a prayer asking Bishop Baraga for his intercession. Our mascot is a wonderful reminder of our great calling to bring Jesus to everyone we meet, as Bishop Baraga did!
We had a wonderful first week back to school! We have made a lot of changes, and it will take some adjustment. Thank you all for your commitment. I want you to know that we take the health and safety of your children and our staff very seriously. We have nice small class sizes which allows us to practice social distancing. All the desks in our classrooms are 6 feet apart. We are practicing strict cleaning procedures and have placed hand sanitizing stations at all entrances and at the door of each classroom. We will do everything in our power to keep your children healthy and safe!
Our new dismissal procedure is going great. Thank you! I also realize that not entering the building this year can make communication with your children's teachers a little more difficult. I encourage you to reach out to your teachers with questions, concerns, or ideas. They love to hear from you. You can email them, call the office and leave a message, or set up a time to meet with them after school. We want to have open lines of communication at all times. Sometimes children go home and express a concern or problem of which the teacher is unaware. Please contact them. I know I speak on their behalf when I say they want to hear from you so they can address all issues.
Thank you again for your commitment to your children. God bless you and have a wonderful week!
