Family Messenger, September 6, 2011

Lord, our God,
Help us to be people of prayer,
turning first to God when we
have decisions to make.
May God’s work be done through us.
We ask this through Jesus’ name.
Amen.

A Message from the Principal

As we begin our second week of school, this is a great time to for you to help your child succeed this school year. As your child’s first and most important teacher, you pay an important role in supporting your child’s learning at school. The beginning of a school year is a great time to review rules together. Discuss school and classroom rules, and use this opportunity to talk about home rules too!

I am eager to be involved in your child’s learning this year!

Sincerely,

Ms. Olivia Carrillo

Decathlon Coach Needed

The Academic Junior High Decathlon is scheduled for March 10, 2012. We do not have a head coach for this event, and we must have one if we are to send a team to represent Incarnation. If you are interested in being the head coach for the team, please contact Ms. Carrillo ASAP. The head coach will fulfill the participation hour’s requirement for the year.
