Dear HFRCS Families,
March is flying by! We just finished the Terra Nova’s with only a few students making up the sections they missed. We also had a lot of other activities and events going on the past week as well. We had grades celebrating Read Across America and Stations of the Cross last week, our Designer Bag Bingo Saturday night, 4th grade dissected owl pellets yesterday, and many many more. A big shoutout to HSA, our amazing families, and the best teachers around for making it such a great time.
Just as a reminder, the Terra Nova’s are a standardized test that is given across the country in the major subjects of reading, language, and mathematics. Once we receive the results later this year, we share them with you so that you can see how much your children have achieved compared to other students in the same grade. We are extremely proud of how hard they worked and are excited to receive the results in a couple months.
Looking ahead, we have another Stations of the Cross tomorrow, 3/10, at 1pm with Deacon Jack and we have mass Wednesday, 3/15, at 9:30am with Fr. McDermott, both at St. Joseph’s church. All are welcome to attend. Our monthly virtue is Patience after St. Francis de Sales. 3/15 is an 11:30 dismissal. Another reminder that next Friday, 3/17, is Report Card Conferences and a virtual day for students. They will bring home all the materials they need on Thursday as they will have assignments to complete.
As always, thank you for your support and dedication to Holy Family and catholic education. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you,
Mr. Elia
