Our gift to you this Easter! God Bless your Family! Be well!
Easter/Spring Break
As a reminder, our Easter/Spring Break begins on Wednesday, April 8 at noon and runs through Wednesday, April 15. School lessons on April 8 will primarily reflect the Lenten season and Holy Week. St. Patrick School will resume eLearning on Thursday, April 16. We hope everyone enjoys the much-needed time off!
Report Cards
Please know that reports cards were sent to parents yesterday morning for Grades 1-8. They are also available in your child's ePortfolio in the Portal. Students in PreK, TK and K are not issued a report card for the third marking period. If you have any questions, please contact your child's teacher.
Some families received a duplicate report card as the system crashed during sending. To ensure that all received them, some grades were resent. We apologize for the duplication.
I read the Legend of Easter Egg to share with all of the students. Featuring the beloved setting and characters from the best-selling Legend of the Candy Cane, this moving story about Thomas and Lucy takes us deeper into the mystery of the traditions of Easter.
