Dear Parents,

Beginning on March 19th, students in grades 3-8 will be

taking the Forward Exam, the State of Wisconsin standardized test.

Mrs. Klein is our testing coordinator should you have any questions.

The goal is to have all testing complete by spring break. Please

ensure your child is well fed, rested and in school daily from March

19-28. Mrs. Klein will be sending a more detailed testing schedule

as well. As a reminder, all students will be administered the test. If

you choose to opt your child out of the test, this must be sent to me

in writing. Thank you.

I am very excited to be cheering our 8th grade boys on tomorrow in

the Padre Serra Tournament. It is at Mt. Mary at 10 am. Good luck

to Anthony, Eduardo, Luis and Zamarion.

I am very happy to announce that JPIIA has made it through the first

step of the Exemplary Accreditation process. Next, we will receive a

visit on March 27th by a team.

We are in the midst of Lent and there have been many activities

occurring already. Students are going to Stations of the Cross

weekly, buddy activities and will be going to adoration soon. Please

help with the almsgiving to build another chapel in the Dominican

Republic. Students should bring their white boxes of money each

Monday.

As I have talked about many times, safety is of the utmost

importance. Students participated in a fire drill and a lock down

drill this week. Mrs. Klein is also touching base in all her guidance

classes on our emergency procedures. When we return from East-

er, we will practice tornado drills as well.

This Monday at 1 pm is our school wide Spelling Bee! Good luck to

all our finalists. All are welcome.

Lent Blessings,

Mrs. Schumacher
