SENIOR PARENT NIGHT

Senior Parent Night will be on Tuesday, September 13th, starting at 6:30pm in the auditorium. We will do our best to get you out by 8:00pm Since COVID protocols are no longer in play we will not be recording the evening like we had the past two years.

We will be covering graduation, senior academics, college and scholarship applications, and extras like placement exams and reporting AP scores.

Your students do not need to be there, as we will be giving them this information in classrooms this week.

Kairos

Juniors and Seniors are invited to sign up for the spring Kairos retreat. What is Kairos? Kairos is a 3-day, 2-night optional retreat during Holy Week.
