This week, we join Catholic school communities across the nation in celebrating the gift of Catholic education. Catholic Schools Week is a time to give thanks for the many ways that God is with us as we share our mission of forming students not just academically, but spiritually and morally. As we reflect on this year's theme, "United in Faith and Community," we're reminded that growing together in faith, kindness, and compassion is at the heart of Catholic education. We encourage you to have a conversation about the value of a Catholic education, why it matters to you, and sacrifices lovingly made along the way to make it possible.
This is also a time to reflect on the important partnership between home, school and parish. Parents are the first and most important teachers of their children. Your continued support is a vital part of our mission of faith, service, academic excellence and community as we help students to grow in their faith. We are grateful for the trust you place in the faculty and staff here at St. Albert the Great and for your commitment to your child’s Catholic education. We are blessed to be walking this journey with you.
It is a privilege to witness God’s work throughout the school day, and I am humbled seeing the many small and meaningful ways He shines here with our hard working students, dedicated teachers, and supportive families.
Gratefully,
Julie Corbett
School Counselor
February Conferences will be held on Monday, February 9th, and Tuesday, February 10th. Please use this sign-up link to schedule a conference with your child's homeroom teacher.
Reports for Grades 1 - 8 were posted to the Family Portal on Tuesday, January 20. The progress reports were also distributed by e-mail. The progress report is provided to allow parents to monitor their student's academic performance. It is an opportunity to evaluate the student's current position, reflect on the consequences of missing or late work, and spot opportunities for growth and improvement. Parents can learn how to access the progress report at the SATG Parent/Student Tech Support Site.
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:4–7
In February, our school community will focus on the virtue of Love—a love that is patient, kind, forgiving, and selfless. Inspired by St. Valentine, we are reminded that love is more than a feeling; it is a daily choice shown through our words and actions. As St. Paul teaches us, “Love is patient, love is kind… It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” This month, we encourage our students and families to practice Christ-like love at home, at school, and in our community.
Family Prayer for February
Loving God,
Thank You for the gift of love. Help our family to be patient and kind with one another, to forgive as You forgive, and to show love through our actions each day. Through the example of St. Valentine, teach us to love generously and faithfully. May our words and choices reflect Your love in all we do.
Amen.
Our students are busy completing MAP testing this week and into next week. Winter MAP assessments are used by teachers as an instructional tool to help guide and shape classroom instruction as we move into the new year. Parents will not receive winter MAP scores; however, spring MAP scores will be shared toward the end of the school year and will reflect student growth over time.

We have received a few questions about missing years on some of our championship banners. We are working to finalize a plan to invest into new championship banners with a standardized design that will be easier to update and maintain going forward. Our goal is to finalize the design and install the new banners as soon as possible. In the meantime, if you know of a missing championship year that needs to be added, please let us know as we are tracking all of them and will make sure they are updated on the new banners. Thank you for your patience.
