This is how I usually feel right after Halloween (although I saw Christmas decorations in one store in mid-October).
In case you missed it in Tidbits, we will still have our full week off for Thanksgiving (Yay!). I have a principal's meeting this Friday, at which time I will get more information about making up days missed. Until turkey time, we have three weeks of uninterupted school (with the exception of the Walkathon on Nov. 15). This week is the time to wrap up the Trimester and then transition into Trimester II next week. If students have been struggling, let them know that the start of a new trimester is a great opportunity to set goals and aim for success.
Some updates on happenings around the school and parish:
- Fr. Dermot will be away this week visiting family in Ireland.
- The health department is finally submitting my application for the FLC and I'm hoping they review it quickly. I sent them everything they needed about a month ago but the hurricane put them behind like everything else.
- I am still waiting on a quote for the Angel's Wing and PK room repairs and hope to hear from them this week.
- There are two holes on the playgrounds (one on the main near the sidewalk) and one on the PK playground. They should be covered with a cone and a table. They have been reported but please be patient. We do not have a facilities director right now (Tony resigned) and Ken has been out so hoping to address them this week.
- I have been searching high and low for someone to come out and fix the gate. Everyone is booked out 2-4 weeks. I have also reached out to a few parents to help too. Please know I am working on it. If anyone knows a guy, I'm all ears.
