Letters from the Principal

January 6th, 2020

1/6/2020

 
Dear Parent/Guardian,

Welcome back.  I hope you had a restful, safe and enjoyable Winter Break.  Even though we started the new calendar year last week on the 2nd, I decided to wait to wish everyone a successful and happy new year until most of us returned.  Don’t forget our attendance goal is to reach 96% attendance for the 2019-2020 school year. Hopefully we can get back to the 95% mark we had before we dropped due to the very poor attendance on January 2nd and 3rd.  We need really good attendance during the months of January and February in spite of the cold those two months bring.

The Second Quarter will be coming to an end on January 30, 2020.  That’s just a few weeks from now, so if your child needs to do anything to bring up their grades, now is the time to get it done. 

School will be closed on January 20, 2020 in observance of Dr.Martin.Luther King’s birthday.  

Durkin Park Saturday Academy starts up again this Saturday, January 11, 2020.

Don’t forget to be in school every day and be on time.  Everyone with perfect attendance for the second semester will be able to take part in special activities we have planned for the end of the school year. Welcome back to school as we start the brand new calendar year. Let’s make 2020 even better than 2019.

Sincerely,

Daniel J. Redmond
Principal

​Estimado Padre o Tutor,


Bienvenidos. Espero que hayan tenido un descanso de invierno tranquilo, seguro y agradable. Aunque comenzamos el nuevo año la semana pasada, el día 2, decidí esperar hasta que la mayoría regresara, para desearles un año nuevo exitoso y feliz.  No olvide que nuestro objetivo de asistencia es de alcanzar el 96% para el año escolar 2019-2020. Esperemos volver al 95% que teníamos antes de caer debido a la poca asistencia del 2 y 3 de enero. Necesitamos muy buena asistencia durante los dos meses de enero y febrero a pesar del frío.

El segundo período finalizará el 30 de enero de 2020.  Es solo unas semanas a partir de ahora, así que si su hijo necesita hacer algo para mejorar sus calificaciones, ahora es el momento de hacerlo.

La escuela estará cerrada el 20 de enero de 2020 en conmemoración del cumpleaños de Dr. Martin Luther King.

La Academia Sabatina de Durkin Park comienza de nuevo este sábado, 11 de enero de 2020.

Recuerden estar en la escuela todos los días y a tiempo. Todos los que tengan asistencia perfecta durante el segundo semestre podrán participar en actividades especiales que hemos planeado para el fin del año escolar.  Bienvenido de nuevo a la escuela mientras comenzamos el nuevo año calendario. Hagamos que el 2020 sea aún mejor que el 2019.

Atentamente,

Daniel J. Redmond
Director
