MAP Information
We are altering our approach to MAP testing for the Spring. Please see below for some specifics. Our goal is create an environment in which ALL students are testing simultaneously to cut down on interruptions and distractions. Parents, please note that if your child is late to school during MAP testing sessions, he or she will not be sent to class, but will remain in the office for the duration of the test and will be required to make up the missed testing during make-up week. School mass has also been moved to FRIDAY, 4/25, to accommodate MAP testing.
Mass has been moved to Friday, April 25 during the week of MAP testing.
There will be NO HOMEWORK or TESTS given the week of April 21-25.
The Spring MAP testing dates/times will be communicated in Knights News beginning March 14th.
Parents will be encouraged to not make doctor’s appointments during the MAP testing dates/times.
All teachers, assistants, LT, Special Area teachers will be assigned as a proctor. All staff members will receive their list of students, proctors, and locations by April 17th from LC’s.
All K & 1 teachers/assistants will remain in the classroom to help monitor and assist students during testing.
All students that need small group testing in grades 1-8 will be assigned a proctor in the building. All other students will remain in the classroom with their homeroom teacher.
A staggered start will take place on the announcements beginning with all odd grade levels starting at 8:10 (1,3,5,7) and all even grades starting at 8:20. We need to do a staggered start so we do not overload the NWEA system. Brian O’Neal said we do have the bandwidth to do this, but a staggered start by grade level is recommended on each wing.
Mrs. Thurman and Mrs. Stepp will hold any students that should arrive late to school in the front office until the testing window is closed (9:45).

Parents & those who pick up in carpool: PLEASE do not park in the carpool lanes until 2:00 pm. Classes are still being held outside, especially when the weather is nice. You will be instructed to move. Thank you for your cooperation.

Calendar News!
Our 2025-2026 is slightly delayed--we apologize for the inconvenience. Our calendar will be discussed at our next SAB meeting and once approved by Fr. Peter, it will be officially released. Please note that the calendar draft from the Archdiocese was changed due to JCPS altering their spring break for the coming year, so new options were produced for review. Thank you so much for your patience. For your knowledge, the 2025-2026 school year will begin the week of August 11, 2025 (official first day is TBD.)

There’s nothing better than sharing a love of reading with a buddy! Our fifth graders and preschoolers come together monthly for a special reading session, filled with laughter, learning, and new adventures in books.
But the learning doesn't stop there! In addition to reading their favorite stories, our fifth graders took on the role of mentors this week, teaching their preschool buddies about Ash Wednesday and the season of Lent. They shared the meaning behind this important time, helping their younger friends understand kindness, reflection, and growth as we prepare for Easter.
We love seeing our students build these beautiful friendships while growing in faith and knowledge together! #ReadingBuddies #FaithInAction #Lent #AshWednesday #BigKidsLittleKidsBigHearts
Be sure to challenge yourself for the Rice Bowl this week! Next week's challenge is to put in 25 cents for every pair of shoes you own!
