Mission Statement: The
mission of St. Malachy’s Memorial High School is to create an environment in
which students excel academically and to provide a safe and supportive
community which encourages growth and contribution to the larger community.
Vision Statement: St.
Malachy’s Memorial High School is committed to educating the whole person. Through a rigorous and comprehensive program
of studies we prepare students academically, socially and morally to assume
their places as conscientious, involved and contributing members of society.
It was great to see everyone this
week. Even with the phase change to “orange”,
students did well with their attendance on in school days. The attendance schedule
for January is posted to our schools’ website.
We have two weeks of classes leading up to assessment week. The assessment week schedule was distributed
to students prior to the Christmas break and can also be found on our
website. It is very important that we
have strong attendance leading up to the end of first semester and final
assessments. Students should be looking
to submit any missing assignments as soon as possible.
**
Clarification with regards to the Student Attendance Schedule in the event of a
snow day**. In the event of a snow day the schedule will
shift forward. For example, if we
had a snow day on Wednesday January 13th, the A – K group would come
to school the next day, Thursday January 14th. The L - Z group would
then come Friday January 15th.
This would move all subsequent days forward. If this should happen, we will send out a
revised attendance calendar.
If we do have a
snow day prior to Assessment Week, that schedule will not be altered and will
begin as scheduled.
