MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Dear O’Gorman Parents & Students:
We are off to a great start this spring semester with our faculty and students working together to reach maximum potential. It is hard to imagine that we are nearly six weeks into the spring semester. We will celebrate Catholic Schools Week (CSW) from February 1st – 5th. The theme for this year is “Dividends for Life” with the focus on the Cardinal Virtues – Prudence, Justice, Temperance and Fortitude. During Catholic Schools Week, we will once again distribute CSW t-shirts courtesy of Avera. The shirts will display the theme and four Cardinal Virtues. Students will wear the t-shirts with their dress code pants and shoes at Mass.
REGISTRATION:
We will begin the process of registering for the 2010-2011 school year. In addition to registering for fall classes, I urge students and families interested in summer school courses to please submit their registration form to the guidance office as soon as possible. Our deadline is March 31st. The number of requests for a particular summer school course determines if a course will be offered and how many sections will be offered, and it allows us to begin hiring faculty to teach those courses.
AP INFORMATION NIGHT:
On Tuesday, January 6th at 6:30 p.m. in the auditorium we will be holding an informational meeting to discuss course content and registration process for students wanting to take Advanced Placement courses (AP). We encourage parents and students to attend this meeting. Our purpose for this meeting is to present expectations for the AP curriculum, discuss required summer work for some of the AP courses, explain Mount Marty dual credit, and talk about other issues relating to the rigors of an AP class. Parents and students will have an opportunity to hear from AP teachers and ask questions about their guidelines and expectations for students during the summer and throughout the school year.
SURVEY:
Attention Parents: our online school survey will be sent via e-mail to parents in February. Please take a few moments to complete our parent survey. The data collected from our survey is extremely important and needed when establishing goals for improvement.
TUITION AGREEMENTS:
In mid-February you will receive the 2010-2011 tuition agreements. The tuition agreements are approved by the SFCS School Board, and are needed to ensure that your child’s registration is complete. Each year the tuition agreement assists us in projecting staffing needs and completes the formal registration process for your student. It is extremely important that you submit the tuition agreement fully completed, or your child’s schedule will be on hold until all paperwork is completed and returned to O’Gorman High School. If your tuition agreement misses the deadline, your child’s request for courses will be dropped.
