Merciful God,
You are compassionate toward all.
Give us faith in your great power,
and teach us to trust in your love for us.
Amen.
A Message from the Principal
Thank you to all who came to visit the campus for our opening night of the Art Exhibit and our Open House. We are grateful to our student tour guides, our school’s marketing committee, and all parent ambassadors/volunteers for their assistance with these events. Thanks also to our students and teachers for really making Incarnation shine! Re-registration begins this week and ends March 2nd. Please look for your packet of information in today’s envelope.
Regarding afternoon pick-up, I am requesting all parents’ cooperation with the traffic congestion on Dryden. To allow students full use of the yard during P.E. classes or other activities, school gates do not open until 15 minutes before dismissal. I know that arriving early gives parents the advantage of being in the front of the carpool line, but this cannot interfere with local residents’ ability to drive, park, or enter buildings. Should you arrive before the gates are open, please drive around the perimeter of the school so that the street is not blocked. Should this continue to be an issue for our neighbors, we will need to request Glendale Police Department’s assistance with enforcement. Again, thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
Blessings,
Ms. Olivia Carrillo

Catholic Schools Week
The theme of this year’s Catholic Schools Week is Faith. Academics. Service. The theme focuses on three priorities that Catholic schools establish that make them stand out from other educational institutions. Children are taught faith – not just the basics of Christianity, but how to have a relationship with God. Academics, which in Catholic schools are held to very high standards, help each child reach his or her potential. Service, the giving of one’s time and effort to help others, is taught both as an expression of faith and good citizenship.
Activities for the week are as follows:
• Monday, January 30 – School Families Day: Families of K-8 students will create a “faith” banner for mass later in the week
• Tuesday, January 31 – Commitment Tuesday: Each class will commit to a service project
• Wednesday, February 1 – Wacky Wednesday: Show your school spirit!
• Thursday, February 2 – Grandparents/Special Visitors Day and Mission Awareness presentation
• Friday, February 3 – Faculty/Student Volleyball Game

A Message from the Principal
How can we best prepare today’s young student to thrive in the future they will face? With new discoveries in areas such as medicine and technology being made all the time, today’s children will be part of a world that we can’t really imagine. We hear about the need for teaching children 21st-centurty skills. What are they?
Children must become lifelong learners. They need to “learn how to learn.” Since many of the jobs today’s children will hold have not even been developed yet, children must learn how to deal with uncertainty and change. The basic skills reading, writing, and math will still be essential. Science will also play an important role. In addition, creativity, problem solving, and critical thinking will be key. Since our children will grow up in a global economy, they will benefit from being skilled in information, media, and technology. Finally, communication and collaboration skills will be critical in a world in which we all must work together in order to make a positive difference.
This appears to be a very long list; yet your children have the benefit of being a part of a Catholic school. The strong school community – grounded in a shared faith and the support and high expectation of parents, teachers, and the larger community – offers your children a foundation for facing the rapidly changing world around them. By sharing this belief in God’s goodness and living out their faith every day, your children are blessed with a clear advantage in living and growing in our ever-changing world. Faith provides an anchor whose value can never be overestimated. It provides a compass that will serve your children well into the future.
Thank you for choosing Catholic education. I encourage you to invite friends or neighbors to our Open House on Sunday, January 29 from 10:00 a.m. – noon so they can see what Incarnation School has to offer. May God continue to bless your family each day.
Sincerely,

A Message from the Principal
Happy New Year and welcome back! I hope all of you enjoyed the holidays in the company of family and friends.
Days before we left for vacation, contracts for completion of the second phase of the air conditioning project were negotiated. Our contractors have been doing much of the exterior work over the past two weeks, and we anticipate that all second floor classrooms will have the ceiling mounted air conditioning units in by the end of this month. The safety of our students is our first priority. Having worked with this contractor for the electrical upgrade, they are aware of our environment and our needs. All contractors have been background checked and will wear proper identification while on school grounds. Any disruptions to the classes will be minimal. Thank you again for your support of our fundraising efforts to make this year’s-long vision a reality!
Wishing you all the best for a peaceful and blessed new year!
