Holy God,
Give the joy of your presence
To all who are sick and suffering.
Teach us to be grateful for
all the blessings we receive.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
A Message from the Principal
Last Friday students received a copy of their first trimester progress reports. This is an opportunity to see how your child is progressing in each subject before the official reporting period ends in November. If you find that your child is struggling, please do not hesitate to request a conference with his/her teacher to obtain information on how he/she can improve.
This month, we celebrate Our Lady of the Rosary. Consider taking some family time to pray the rosary together!
Finally, I would like to inform the school community that Coach Roger Briceno will not be returning to Incarnation School. We thank him for his two years of service and wish him well. Mr. Felipe Huizar, our current 4th grade assistant, will assume the role of P.E. teacher for preschool through 8th grade. This week the P.E. schedule will remain the same, however some P.E. schedules will be adjusted. If your child’s class is affected, you will be notified by his/her homeroom teacher. We welcome Mr. Huizar in this new capacity!
Have a blessed week!
Ms. Olivia Carrillo
