Tomorrow is the last day for February enrollment. We have almost everyone re-enrolled. Thank you to all who have completed the paperwork. I will be meeting with admissions next week to solidify classes. There are a few classes that will be at capacity with a waitlist during that time. For those that did not get their application complete this may mean a lost seat to a new family.
Today we welcome Mr. Ed Foy, the Superintendent for the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. I am excited to show him around our fabulous school and tell him all the great things we have going on.
We are approaching the state Forward testing window. Please be mindful of scheduling appointments during school hours from March 17-April 18.
Mañana es el último día para la inscripción de febrero. Tenemos a casi todos reinscritos. Gracias a todos los que han completado el papeleo. Me reuniré con admisiones la próxima semana para solidificar las clases. Hay algunas clases que estarán llenas con una lista de espera durante ese tiempo. Para aquellos que no completaron su solicitud, esto puede significar la pérdida de un asiento para una nueva familia.
Hoy damos la bienvenida al Sr. Ed Foy, Superintendente de la Arquidiócesis de Milwaukee. Estoy emocionado de mostrarle nuestra fabulosa escuela y contarle todas las cosas maravillosas que estamos sucediendo.
Nos acercamos a la ventana de prueba estatal Forward. Tenga en cuenta la programación de citas durante el horario escolar del 17 de marzo al 18 de abril.
Hello!

Growth Mindset
Do you have a fixed mindset or a growth mindset? A person with a fixed mindset might think,”I’ll never be as smart as that person.” A person with a growth mindset would think, “Everyone is talented in many and different ways.” They also compete with their “yesterday self” rather than their peers.
