Re: Archdiocesan School Calendar for 2011-2012
Date: February 7, 2011
As you know, according to the Archdiocesan School Policy (Management Section 5.1d), each year your school submits your calendar for the upcoming academic year.
Please connect to the 2011-2012 Academic Calendar to begin using the online calendar tool. Every time you press the “save” button, your work is saved so you can modify your information as needed. Calendars should be submitted by the end of May. Our department will consider the calendar “final” on May 31st, and then begin to harvest the information within the first two weeks in June.
Once again, my colleagues and I will be looking for a robust calendar that indicates rigorous student instruction. Layered over this should be opportunities for professional growth and faith formation. The September 16, 2011 Teacher Excellence Day and the March 23, 2012 Deanery Curriculum Development Day are full days when all school principals and teachers are expected to attend. Please also note that the anticipated date of the Fulcrum Foundation Celebration of Light is Friday, February 3, 2012. School auctions may not be celebrated that weekend.
I hope this tool assists you in carefully thinking through the ministry of Catholic education to our students, their parents, and the necessary formation of our teachers. I will be reviewing these calendars by region with each of the assistant superintendents. Should questions arise, I will be contacting the principal of the school for clarification.
