THE WEDNESDAY ENVELOPE

Corpus Christi Catholic School

November 20, 2019

 
FROM THE PRINCIPAL

NEW  The Archdiocese of Philadelphia has obtained a pilot assessment program for the elementary schools called the Beacon Assessments.  Ideally, these assessments are given two or three times to students in grades 3-8 in math and ELA. The students will use either chrome books or iPads for the test.  The tests are adaptive to the student’s skill level, meaning accuracy in answering will increase the difficulty of subsequent questions.  The purpose for these assessments is for the teacher to determine strengths and weaknesses in the class as a whole and on an individual basis.  They will provide data to the teacher to drive instruction. Student performance in the Beacon Assessments will in no way affect a student’s grade and will not be entered into the Option C grading program; it is to give information to the faculty to meet the needs of the students.  We hope to administer these assessments to all students in grades 3-8 in late November and December. The math assessment is given in 55 minutes in one sitting and the ELA assessment is 115 minutes and will be broken into two testing sessions.

Reminder  Report cards will be distributed on Friday, December 13th . This is a gentle reminder that all
tuition obligations through the November 15th payment must be met in order to receive or view your student’s report card
. If you need an alternate payment schedule, please contact Mrs. Snyder in the parish office.

Reminder  The weather has turned colder. Please be sure your student has the proper clothing for outdoor recess.  We do not have the personnel to supervise children who are not dressed appropriately.  Recess in the fresh air is an important component of the student’s afternoon.  Thank you for your cooperation.

FROM THE SCHOOL OFFICE

We will also give a monetary donation from the proceeds of Dress Down Day on 11/26. Thank you so much for your generosity! It is so nice that our school can help so many local families celebrate the holidays!

Update  Thanksgiving Meal Deal Update:
The Sisters of St. Joseph are overwhelmed by the generosity of Corpus Christi School! We will present the Sisters with 75 (seventy-five) $25 gift cards to hand out at the Welcome Center to the families in need of support for the holidays.  Your thoughtfulness and giving spirit will enable many to truly celebrate Thanksgiving!
