PARENT CONFERENCES ARE TOMORROW, FEBRUARY 16 | A reminder that Parent-Teacher Conferences are tomorrow but are not scheduled for all parents. Teachers may reach out to schedule a conference, or you may request one. Any parent of a L/R student can request a conference by emailing Mr. McGuire. If you are unable to attend your assigned time, please notify Mr. McGuire quickly so that he can reschedule your conference. In Logic and Rhetoric, this day is meant for conferences with multiple teachers so if you’d like to arrange a conference with an individual teacher, please email the teacher directly and schedule a time on a different day.

NATIONAL LATIN EXAM | FRIDAY, MARCH 15 | Students will take the National Latin Exam (NLE) during their Latin class. The NLE is given annually to Latin students across the U.S. and around the world. The NLE is not meant to be a competition but rather an opportunity for students to receive reinforcement and recognition for their accomplishments in the classroom. Depending upon their score, students may earn certificates, and medals, and may even qualify for scholarships.
