Mission Statement

St. Mary Magdalene Catholic School exists to develop students who have academic strengths, strong moral values and a deeper understanding of their Catholic faith, so that they succeed as individuals who make wise choices, choose to serve others and attain a deep relationship with Christ.

Writing: Will be done at least twice a week in 6th, once a week in 7th and 8th will focus more on 1-2 page essays. There are cross-curricular assignments for all grade levels where grades are taken in both classes.

    

Handwriting: It is mandatory for ALL grade levels to write in cursive when turning in a paper to be graded. Some students have a hard time forming letters. I do have a poster on my wall with the cursive letters that they may use as a reference. Please encourage your child to practice cursive writing at home. 


ALL work that is to be graded will be done in blue or black ink as indicated on the syllabus. NO EXCEPTIONS.
