paperbacks -- The Odyssey by Homer.
There will be a new poetic translation instead of the prose adaptation
that was used this year.
- The AP Spanish class will continue to use the
paperback books, Don Quixote de
la Mancha Part I and Part II.
The other materials will be the same as well but they are workbooks
and can be used only if they are free of writing.
- Spanish II, III and IV students will continue to
use the Shaum’s Outline workbook that they already have in addition to the
new textbook.
- German II (Deutsch
Aktuell 2) can be resold because it will remain the same for this
next year. German I will be
new. This series will be phased in.

- Dress Code Shoe Change
5/28/2008
Beginning in the fall of
2008, all students will be required to wear dress shoes to school everyday. We
are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause but feel it is a necessary
change. We feel that this change will bring a positive professional image to
our school and greater community. Research has shown there is a positive
correlation between student dress and the overall school climate. Sandals,
canvas shoes, athletic shoes, work boots, western boots or any open back shoes
will not be permitted. The wearing of athletic shoes will be permitted for
medical reasons upon the presentation of a note to the main office from a
medical doctor stating the necessity.

The school building will be closed for summer maintenance

The school office will be closed Wednesday, August 6, when
the staff and faculty will be attending the Diocesan Back to School meeting.
