My courses

by Mrs. Alecia Rolling.  

Joža Uprka, "All Souls' Day" (1897)

 

ALL SOULS OCTAVE: An indulgence, applicable only to the Souls in Purgatory, is granted to the faithful, who devoutly visit a cemetery and pray, even if only mentally, for the departed. The indulgence is plenary each day from November 1-8; on other days of the year it is a partial indulgence.  Manual of Indulgences, 4th ed., 1999 (Enchridion Indulgentarium)

TESTING, TESTING, TESTING: This week, courses that have the thrice-a-year exam schedule are testing, which include TPT, History, and Great Books classes.  This is the last batch of exams that fall mid-term.  As usual, prioritize exam prep, watch out for deadlines, and work hard for the glory of God!

GB TUTOR TIMES: Great Books tests are "viva voce," i.e. oral exams, so Instructors Walsh, Kreuger, Keatley, Sang, and Jimenez may have adjusted schedules for tutoring.  Students should look for notes from them. 

CLT EXAM: This Saturday our Seniors who registered for the Fall CLT Exam will take the exam. Please check your emails for an email with further instructions from office@oxroseacademy.com.

ENROLL in CHESS: Last chance to enroll in the workshop, beginning next week.  Mr. Bloom is a great teacher, and this is a wonderful enrichment opportunity for students.
