Let us remember that we are in the holy presence of God.

God, we pray that St. Solomon’s example of humble service and fidelity inspire us to live our own commitments with joy. Amen

Saint Solomon…pray for us.

Saint John Baptist de La Salle…pray for us.

Live Jesus in our hearts…forever!

Parent-Student-Teacher conferences allow parents, students, and teachers an opportunity to discuss a student’s academic progress near the mid-point in the semester. As students and parents can benefit by hearing the same commendations and recommendations from teachers, we strongly suggest students and parents attend conferences and participate in these conversations together.

Conferences are scheduled this Wednesday from 2:00-8:00pm and again on Thursday from 11:00am-7:00pm. You do not need an appointment to hold a conference with a teacher. Instead, you can meet with your child’s teachers at your own pace and whenever they are available.

Enjoy the four-day weekend coming up! Remember, there are no classes on Thursday, October 20 or Friday, October 21.
