Calendar changes for June! | |
At the beginning of the school year, we indicated that we had scheduled 183 school days while needing only 180 student-contact days to fulfill our Diocesan commitment. This was done to allow for potential modification in case of unforeseen events, such as power outages like last year, etc. We have come through this year without anticipated challenges. Therefore, we complete the 180 school days successfully by June 11th.
Please revise your calendar as follows:
Last day for students is Tuesday, June 11, 2013.
This will be a minimum day; Students will attend Parish Mass at 8:30 a.m. and the day will conclude with the Concert in the Falcon's Quad at 10:00 followed by our traditional promotion ceremony.
Last day for teachers is Friday, June 14, 2013.
This allows the teachers to complete their contractual obligations a few days earlier. We appreciate your flexibility and support, and look forward to seeing you for the Concert on June 11. Click for letter calendar adjustments 2013 ! |
