Principal’s Report 10/17/2014
Dear Lumen Family:
Where did the time go? Believe it or not, today is the end of first quarter. Although Lumen only records semester grades on the ‘official’ student transcript, we do provide quarterly progress reports to parents so they can assess student performance. The quarterly progress reports will be available next week at the parent – teacher conferences. I encourage all parents attend the conferences so you can better understand how your student is performing in school.
Tonight, October 17 at 6 PM is the Knights of Columbus BURGER NIGHT at the St. Benedict Parish Hall. Come out and help support the Knights in raising money that goes back to our students through the Knights scholarship fund. There will be plenty of food and fun!
