Dear Saints John’s School Families,
It is hard to believe that today, Friday, November 8th, is the end of our first trimester of this school year. You can guess that the teachers will be spending their weekend working on assessments/grades which are due to Mrs. Sweeney on Monday. Report cards and grades i.e. academic achievement is a high priority here at Saint Johns. Since parents receive snapshots each Wednesday and since we recently held student, parent, teacher conferences, hopefully, there will be few surprises when your child(ren) brings home her/his report card next Friday. Close communication between parents and teachers as to how a student is progressing is of great importance. Whether B’s, A’s or C’s, it isn’t a matter of how your child compares to others, is he/she working up to his/her potential? Is there growth and advancement? Striving for excellence in everything we do must be our motto.
That being said, our highly respected Archdiocese of Denver Superintendent of Catholic Schools, Mr. Richard Thompson, reminds us at our principals’ meetings, of our highest priority that being our Catholic Identity and leading children to Christ. The focus this year is CATHOLIC SCHOOLS: HELPING TO REBUILD CATHOLIC CULTURE.
We must be committed to living out our Saint John the Evangelist Catholic School Mission Statement:
In communion with our families, Saint John the Evangelist Catholic School provides a respectful Catholic environment dedicated to developing the whole child through academic achievement, personal responsibility, and the formation of faith-filled citizens in a place where Christ is ever present.
Shalom,
Mrs. Schmitt
