Principal Update

Dear Parents,

This week we celebrated National Catholic Schools Week with students representing our school at the All Schools Mass at St. Joseph’s on the Rio Grande Catholic Church in Albuquerque on Wednesday. This week reminds us of the important work that we do as a Lasallian Catholic School, of our five Lasallian Core Principles, and of the importance of the presence of God in our lives.

Congratulations to our 300 first semester honor roll students! We have 51 Principal’s Honor Roll students with straight A’s, 116 A Honor Roll students with a 3.6 or above and no C’s or below, and 133 B Honor Roll Students with a 3.0 or above and no D’s or below. Our students are working hard and demonstrating this hard work through their academic success. For students who might be struggling academically, we offer a variety of supports and resources to help them get back on track. Please consult with our academic counselor, Alex Gallegos, to work on an academic plan for student success if your child needs academic support. Let’s make this second semester even better than the first!

We are already seeing a little increase in senior absences and tardies. We are also seeing a little decline in senior grades to this point in the semester. Our seniors need to stay focused as graduation nears and finish strong. Senioritis is real, and we want to prevent our seniors from falling victim to it.  That being said, we have an outstanding group of seniors who will be leaving a tremendous legacy here at St. Michael’s. 

Our students are very successful because of your efforts at home. Our school would not be the great place it is without your support. Go Horsemen!

Yours in Christ,

Martin C. Sandoval, Principal
