Dear Life, Justice and Peace Contacts,
Pope Benedict’s Christmas Prayer for Peace: “Grant also to us today that swords may be turned into ploughshares, that instead of weapons for warfare, practical aid may be given to the suffering. Enlighten those who think they have to practice violence in Your name, so that they may see the senselessness of violence and learn to recognize Your true face. Help us to become people 'with whom You are ...by Published on Dec-20-2012 11:11 AM

TO: Elementary and Secondary Principals
FROM: Rev. Stephen C. Rowan, Ph.D.
SUBJECT: Archdiocesan Academic School Calendar for 2013-2014
DATE: December 19, 2012
Annually, the Catholic Schools Department prepares an Archdiocesan Academic School Calendar to be presented to all Catholic school principals. Archdiocesan School Policy (Management Section 5.1d) requires each school to submit its calendar to the Catholic Schools Department for the upcoming academic year. See calendar attachment. Each school calendar may have different starting dates and ending dates, but each school must show at least 180 student contact days for the academic year of 2013-2014. Any deviation from this requirement must be approved by the superintendent.
The 2013-2014 Academic Calendar tool is now available here. Your calendars must be submitted by the end of May, 2013. The Catholic Schools Department will consider the calendar “final” on May 31st, and then begin to collate the information within the first two weeks in June.
My colleagues and I will be looking for a school calendar that demonstrates a rigorous plan for student instruction. Within their respective calendars, Principals should also provide opportunities for professional growth and faith formation. The September 20, 2013 Teacher Excellence Day and the March 21, 2014 Deanery Curriculum Development Day are full days when all school principals and teachers are expected to attend. Also note that the date for the 2014 Fulcrum Foundation Celebration of Light is still to be determined. Once this date is scheduled (either the last Friday in January or the first Friday in February), school auctions should not be celebrated that weekend.
I hope that this information assists you in carefully thinking through and planning for the ministry of Catholic education to our students, their parents, and your faculties and staffs.
I wish you, your faculties and your staff the blessings of the upcoming Christmas season.
