We started administering the MAP Growth assessment to students this week, and the new test is going well following a few initial bumps in the road. I want to thank our assessment team for all their efforts, especially Mr. Wood and Mrs. Ramos, who have overseen almost everything. Mrs. Tierney, Mrs. Goudreau, and Mrs. Rodriguez were instrumental in helping the week go smoothly, too. Testing will continue through October 15 in three subject areas: math, reading, and language arts. If you missed it last week, here is a repost of the link for more information about MAP Growth: https://www.nwea.org/the-map- As a reminder, since we have limited time available for makeup tests this year, I ask that you refrain from pulling your children out of school for extended family trips or long weekends now, which is a best practice to follow the entire school year.
Looking ahead to next week, Picture Day is on Monday, so make sure your children bring their biggest smiles and a regular uniform top (i.e. polo or blouse) even if they have PE scheduled. The School Advisory Board will be meeting Wednesday evening, and don’t forget Movie Night on the field next Friday, September 30!
That’s all for now, but let me know if you have questions about anything else. I hope the students have been enjoying the first month of school as much as it appears, and wish all of you a glorious weekend. Stand fast in the faith!
In His service, Mr. Ewanciw

Our Diamond JubileeNext Thursday, Sept. 8, marks the 75th anniversary of the first day of classes at Saint Bernadette School in 1947! To celebrate as a community, our Echo Dinner will be held on the school grounds on Saturday, Oct. 22, as part of our homecoming weekend leading into the Fall Festival and Open House on Sunday, Oct. 23. We will be honoring Mrs. Rosanne Weber, our former Kindergarten teacher of 30 years and school parent, by installing her into the school’s Honor Roll! You can help support this in many ways. First, you can volunteer to assist Kristie Weatherby and her team on the event. If you’re an alumni or know someone who Mrs. Weber taught, we would love to get pictures and testimonials from you for the event. You also can attend the festivities.

Stuffies and Lovies for SeptemberGreater Love will be collecting stuffed animals (new or clean and gentle used) starting September 19th-30th.
