HAPPY FEAST OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION: Let us honor God, by honoring Our Lady under her titles of "Immaculate Conception" and "Our Lady of Guadalupe" this week. Monday classes are canceled and moved to December 15th. 

⏱ Yearbook Cover Contest ENDS TODAY! ⏱

TESTS & SEMESTER'S END: This week includes exams for Grammar, Latin, Science, and Math courses.  The deadline for all exams and assignment submissions is midnight on Tuesday of next week.  Prioritize exams, as usual. First Semester grades will be finalized on December 18th, then progress reports will go out. 

ACADEMIC HONESTY:

Just to review the Student Handbook:

"The student must understand that the act of submitting any assignment, quiz, or exam in his own name constitutes a pledge that the work is completely his own.  Students must never presume that digital tools (spell check, grammar check, translation tools, AI writing tools, etc.) or working together with other students are allowed without explicit and specific permission."

Students, recall that it is better to fail with honor, than succeed by cheating.  It is, of course, better still to succeed with honor and hard work.  May God bless your hearts and minds to be fit to the challenges of this week!

SURVEYS

Student and Parent Surveys are available this week. Students will take course-teacher surveys in their classes this week and Monday next. There are also two surveys on the dashboard concerning the academy overall (culture, experience, etc.). Please take a few minutes from your busy schedules to let us know how everyone is doing and what would be helpful in the future. One student culture survey per student and one parent survey per family.
