Dear St. Sebastian Families,

Parent teacher conferences will be available through the week of February 9th, please make sure that you sign up for a time with your student’s teacher.  Progress reports and STAR assessments results will be available the week of the 9th as well.  Please make sure that you share concerns, successes with your student and work in a collaborative spirit to support ongoing growth.
 
FYI on aftercare: Mr. Yin is now attending CSUN so will be working Tuesday, Wednesday and Fridays.  We are presently interviewing aftercare candidates, more information to follow.
 
Friday we had a visit from author Elaine Harrison.  Elaine comes to us from Chicago, transitioned from her previous job in marketing to a children’s book author.  Elaine travels across the country presenting and sharing her message of acceptance and kindness.  Many of our students purchased her book on Friday, if you would still like to get one of her books, here is her website: www.luckyduckpublishing.com.
 
SPC: There will be a meeting on Feb. 9th for SPC leadership.  We will be meeting in room #7 at 5:30.

Tweet from Pope Francis:
“When we entrust ourselves to the Lord, we can overcome all obstacles that we encounter on the way.”
 
God Bless,
Ms. McDugald
