Amen Dear Parents/Guardians: January: Happy New Year! 7 12 13 We wish all those involved in the Pope John Paul II School community a joyful, hope-filled new year. While students are learning, the staff are developing as ongoing learners as well. We have targeted certain areas of the literacy curriculum to apply specific strategies in the hopes of raising our achievement levels. Teachers will measure results throughout the learning cycle. This year we only have two reporting terms. January promises to be busy as we prepare report cards. 13 14 17 18 24 25 26 27 28 31 Sincerely, G. Consitt E.
