- If you haven't made an appt. for a formal observation, please do so in the next few days. See link below.
- Information for peer observations will be distributed Thursday at the faculty meeting.
Teachers: Let's Try This Again!
Please see the following message I rec'd from the Archdiocese. (I think it's important that your voices are heard.)
Catholic Identity Survey: The original survey sent to all schools in August/September combined the AdvancED survey and the Catechist Self-Assessment, and the survey results are not as consistent as they should be. For this reason, we are going to ask your teachers to complete the AdvancED survey again. (Please note that parent and student survey results are complete!)
The Office of Catholic Schools has created the link for the AdvancED Catholic Identity survey (link below) for our teachers to answer. The 17 questions can be answered in less than 10 minutes.

Ball in the Hall Update
We are hard at work on our 2nd Annual Ball in the Hall, and we need your help! We are seeking sports tickets. Are you a season ticket holder for the Bears, the Blackhawks, the White Sox, Cubs, or Bulls, or do you know someone who is? Would you consider donating some tickets to be used as an auction prize? We can even provide you with documentation so you can claim it as a charitable donation on your taxes. Please call the Parish Office at 708-895-6700 to donate or for more information. School families will receive a volunteer hour for donating!
