Modified In-School Learning Update On September 15th, Mr. Hagstrom announced that JPII Catholic Schools will shift to Modified In-School Learning starting Monday, September 21st. In accordance with the change, is that visitors will be restricted in all schools to appointment only. This will include a parent dropping off an item for their child or something for the office. School entryways will have a plastic bin where items can be placed. We ask that you call the school to let them you know what you are dropping off and for whom. If the items need immediate attention someone will meet you at the door to receive the item, otherwise the item will be retrieved in a timely manner. With this move, Shanley will be transitioning to a hybrid model as outlined below starting on Monday, September 21st.

Hybrid Model -Student last names starting with A-L report to in-person classes on Mondays and Thursdays.

-Student last names starting with M-Z report to in-person classes on Tuesdays and Fridays.

-Wednesdays will serve as workdays for students and teachers but will not have new lessons.

You must step up and make things happen, not wait around for everyone else to get the job done. PRAYER Lord, we praise you and we thank you for the talents you have given us. Help us to be virtuous and strong. Help us to love You and others more than ourselves. May we be ASSERTIVE today by truly going out of our comfort zone, by being bold and confident in our actions. Amen.

“I took a month-long class last year, and I thought that this one seminar was as

useful and productive, if not more so, than the month-long class.”

–Matthew,Dos Pueblos H.S., CA

“I found this seminar very useful!

I appreciate the time and enthusiasm that was put into the

presentation, and now feel 100 times more confident about testing.

Thank you!”

–Olivia, WestfordAcademy, MA

“Most test practice seminars are very

boring and not that helpful. This one is the first where I learned valuable tips and information, and,

I actually can say I enjoyed.”
