Once again I am
anxiously awaiting the first day of school.I am excited about our class structure and teacher
assignments.This year we have combined classes in all grades, and will
probably have this same structure going forward for the years to
come.This will allow
us to keep our school financially sound, and still be able to
provide the quality Catholic education to the families in our
community, as we have for more than fifty years.The classroom configuration will be as follows:
KindergartenMrs. Baker
1st/2nd
GradeMrs. Winford
3rd/4th
GradeMrs. O’Brien
5th/6th
GradeMs. Hodack
7th/8th
GradeMrs. Ayers
Mrs. Bammer will
be back here three days a week teaching science and computers. Mr. Koval will be here two days a week, plus the Friday
Liturgy.Mrs. Michalik
will be back in the library, and helping out where needed.
School starts with a
half-day on September 4th for grades 1-8.Parents must provide own transportation home at 11:30
am. due to Kearsley having a full day of school.Kindergarten will have a visitation session for parents and
students, from 9:00-11:00 on that day.We will then have full days for the rest of the week.On Friday, Sept. 7th, parents must provide own
transportationboth to school at 8:20 am. and 3:10
pm. due to Kearsley having Friday off.I am enclosing two pages of general information, so please
read them and keep them handy.
I want to welcome all
the families attending Holy Rosary Catholic School for the first
time, whether they are kindergartners or transferring students from
other schools.Once
again I ask all returning eighth grade students to take a moment to
reflect on the great responsibility placed on your shoulders to be
positive role models for the rest of the school.I also want to thank all the parents for the sacrifices they
make to provide the opportunity for their children to receive an
excellent, Catholic education here at Holy Rosary.I believe our staff is prepared to meet the challenges of the
coming year, and I ask that you pray for us as we enter the 2007-08
school year.I am
confident that we can still provide a quality, Catholic education
for your children, and I pray for your continued support.I look forward to serving the members of this parish and all
the school families, so if you have any further questions, please
don’t hesitate to call.
