Weekly Family Bulletin
St. Frances of Rome Catholic School
The week of September 3- September 9
Principal's Message
This year we are working on "Growth Mindset" with our Lancer scholars! Each week you'll find some more information about growth mindset, in addition to ways you can promote it in your own homes.
Growth Mindset is the idea that we can improve and become our best selves with hard work, and positive attitude. When students believe they can get smarter, they understand that effort makes them stronger. Therefore they put in extra time and effort, and that leads to higher achievement.
Studies show students with a growth mindset:
Are more motivated and engaged, even when work is challenging
Are more likely to review or revise their work
Score better on math and verbal standardized tests
Fail fewer classes and have higher GPAs
Are more likely to persist in high school and college
Thank you for partnering with us in your child’s education. We are committed to forming spiritual, mindful, intelligent and integrity-filled scholars!
God Bless you this week! - Mrs. Mendez
