Almighty God,
Jesus taught us to call you father.
We give you thanks for loving us as your children.
May we ever seek to please you.
We ask this through Christ, our Lord.
Amen.
A Message from the Principal
You are invited to join our parish community for the Lenten Soup Suppers each Wednesday during Lent from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. in the school auditorium. Bring your own bowl and spoon and enjoy delicious soups in the company of fellow parishioners!
This evening, the second grade class and the Incarnation Religious Education students will be receiving the sacrament of reconciliation. Please keep them in your prayers as they make this special sacrament in preparation for their first holy communion. We also ask for your prayers for Michael Armstead (8th grade) who is undergoing treatment for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
May you have a blessed Lenten season.
Ms. Olivia Carrillo

Lord our God,
May we always show respect for

A Message from the Principal
I am happy to report that our WCEA/WASC visit last week was very positive! The committee was quite impressed with Incarnation—the students, teachers, parents, and all the school has to offer. We were blessed to have such a supportive team working with us in the last stages of the process. There are approximately 30 elementary schools going through WASC this year from now until the end of March. After all visits have been completed, the WCEA Commission will read through each school’s report and will make a determination on the term of the accreditation in June. Our critical areas for growth, as approved and recommended by the visiting committee, are as follows:
1. Revise the school’s mission and philosophy statements
2. Though reading comprehension ITBS scores are high, we will focus on continued improvement in this area and closely analyze test scores
3. Provide more authentic Christian service opportunities for students with a connection to the larger world
4. The administration will work with the Consultative School Board to develop a long-range strategic plan
5. Develop a professional growth plan to address inclusion practices
Thank you for your support during this important process.
Blessings,
Ms. Olivia Carrillo
