WEEKLY COMMUNICATION

Final exams begin this Tuesday, May 19. With the weekend ahead, this is the time for our underclassmen to put together a real study plan rather than leaving things to the last night. A little intentional preparation now goes a long way, and it makes the difference between students walking into exams feeling steady versus scrambling.

If your student is unsure where they stand in a class or how best to prepare for a particular exam, please encourage them to email their teachers today or first thing Monday. Our faculty are ready and willing to help, but they need a little runway to do it well.

A quick reminder on our finals attendance policy: all students are required to attend every final exam period, including periods where they have a study hall. The only exception is for students with an 8th period study hall, since that is the last exam on the last day and they have no further exams to prepare for. If your student has 8th period study hall and you wish to excuse them, please call the main office that morning. We are unable to make any other exceptions to this policy.

May Mental Health Memo

Our partners at Catholic Charities of Omaha have shared their May Mental Health Memo, focused this month on balancing screen time to support emotional well-being. The memo offers practical strategies for setting healthy limits, modeling good habits, and creating screen-free family time. Both English and Spanish versions are available HERE.

Driving with Integrity: A Jungle Driving School Partnership

At Skutt Catholic, we teach our students to lead with integrity and respect. Jungle Driving School shares these values, training our teens to be responsible, confident drivers. Through our community partnership, Jungle Driving School will donate $50 back to Skutt Catholic for every student who enrolls. It’s a great opportunity to prioritize your teen’s safety on the road while supporting our school. To participate, simply use the code SKUTT during online enrollment. Call 402-347-4850 with any questions.

Seniors: Final High School Transcripts

After the end of the school year, senior transcripts will be finalized and sent to the college listed as "enrolling" in their Scoir account. The counseling office expects transcripts to be sent on or before June 5th. Graduating seniors may begin receiving emails from their chosen college or university asking for these transcripts. Skutt Catholic will send this important information as soon as it is ready, and there is no additional action students need to take. If a student's college decision changes after the end of the year, they should reach out to their counselor to ensure transcripts are sent to the correct institution. Additionally, it is a good idea for all seniors to save a copy of their current unofficial transcript to their personal files (i.e. a non-Skutt Catholic email) for their own records.
