 ST. JOHN BOSCO HIGH SCHOOL Principal's Bulletin October 29th, 2012 |
Greetings Braves,
I hope you are well.
Your son's mid-semester grades are now available for viewing through your NetClassroom account. Please take time to review these grades with your son. If there is room for improvement, please have him contact his teachers to gain an understanding of what needs to be done to improve his grades. If your son is doing well, congratulate him for his hard work.
Related to mid-semester grades, Parent-Teacher conferences will be on Thursday November 8th. There will be two sessions. The first session is from 2 pm - 4 pm, and the second is from 6 pm - 8 pm. Both sessions will be held in the Multi-Purpose Room, where all teachers will be stationed at tables in alphabetical order. Please set aside some time to discuss your son's grades with his teachers on November 8th, particularly if your son earned a D or an F.
On a different note, I had a chance earlier this evening to attend the fall production of Anon(ymous). I was struck by the level of talent possessed by the young men in our Theatre Department. Kudos to Mr. Lang for his hard work in putting together such a timely and entertaining interpretation of The Odyssey. Congratulations to all involved.
Thank you again for your support and trust in us.
In the Spirit of Don Bosco,
Casey Yeazel
Principal
Go Braves! |
