Mandarino Minutes for 11-2-15

Dear Parents/Guardians,

End of the 1st Marking Period-

Tomorrow (November 3rd) is the end of the 1st marking period.  We will have a copy of the 1st marking period report card at conferences.  If you do not attend conferences then the report card will be given to the student at Upton to take home to you.  We only print report cards at the end of the 1st marking period and at the end of the school year.  (Marking periods 2 and 3 can be viewed online.)


Honor Roll Criteria

Marking Period Honor Roll Criteria-

Principals' Honor Roll:
Straight A's (or A-'s)

Honor Roll:
At least 2 A's (or A-'s) and no grade lower than a B.  This means B- or lower disqualifies.

This honor roll was designed by our student council several years ago, so it was a student-driven initiative. 


Parent-Teacher Conferences

Our conferences will take place on Thursday, November 19th at the St. Joseph High School Student Center.  The times are 12:30 P.M.-4:00 P.M.  and 5:30-8:30 P.M.  It is an open house atmosphere where you can meet with each of your child’s teachers for about 5 minutes each. (30 minutes total of teacher conferencing)  The parents wait in line for each teacher to discuss how things are going with their student.  This is our conference format 6th-12th grades.  If you have a 9th-12th grader their conferences will take place at the same times in the SJHS Field House.


Benefit Volleyball Game

We want to thank the students, staff, and parents for a great benefit volleyball game last week for our 8th grader battling cancer.  I know the Flores family was very grateful for the generosity of everyone.  It was great to see all the students and parents in the stands supporting such a wonderful young lady!


One-Hour Delay-

We will have a district one-hour delay on Wednesday, November 11th.  School will begin at 8:45 A.M.


Quote of the day:
"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart." - Helen Keller


Have a good week,
Mr. Mandarino
