The second trimester ends Wednesday, February 19th. The students have worked hard this trimester, and I have seen so much evidence of academic growth. The kindergarten students are beginning to read their sight words with confidence, and the eighth graders are tackling their systems of equations in order to find the point of intersection for two lines. The report cards will be send home of Friday, February 28th. With only one more trimester left, we encourage all our students to keep up the hard work! Enrollment for the 2020/2021 school year is now open! We ask that families log into Renweb in order to complete the enrollment process. Please complete the re-enrollment process by the end of February in order to have priority as a current family. Once March begins, we will begin our rolling admissions process. We anticipate a waiting list in a few grades, so please do not hesitate to re-enroll your child! Thank you to the many families who have already complete the re-enrollment process! Important Dates:

If you have walked around the school lately, you will see the halls filled with beautiful artwork. We have some talented artists here at Our Mother of Sorrows. Well, now their work is on display at the Wilmot LIbrary for all to see. The address is 530 N Wilmot Rd, Tucson, AZ 85710. The artwork is a great sneak peak of the beautiful works of art that will be on display during the S.T.E.A.M. night at the end of January. I hope you and your family enjoy the long weekend. Students in K-8 do not have class on Tuesday, January 21st due to the conferences. The preschool students will have class. As we prepare for next year, I invite all our families to consider making a dollar for dollar tax credit to the Catholic Tuition Support Organization (CTSO). Most of our students receive some financial support from tax credits to attend Our Mother of Sorrows. By designating some or all of your state income tax to CTSO, you are helping to support the children who attend Our Mother of Sorrows. The best part of the donation to CTSO is that it does not cost you anything additional. You are simply telling the state that you want your taxes to go to CTSO in order to help a family afford a Catholic education. Whether you receive funds from CTSO or another tax credit organization, the CTSO donations help to support many of our children. The maximum donation for a person filing as a single person is $1,135. The maximum donation for a person filing as a married couple is $2,269. For more information on how to make a donation, please contact Mr. Arvizu as jarvizu@omosschool.com. Thank you so much for your support of Catholic education through your donation to CTSO! Important Dates:

Students in grades 5-8 are recognized for earning honor roll when they earn all A's and B's in their core subjects. Students earn high honor roll when they earn all A's. The Schoolwide Learning Expectations "SLE" Award recognizes students in grades K-8 who have gone above and beyond this trimester in their pursuit to grow in faith, lovingly serve others, and grow in knowledge. All students are expected to work on growing in these three areas, and each child reflected on his or her growth over the course of the trimester on the "SLE" report card which was sent home with the academic report card. The "SLE" Award is a way for students to be recognized for really working hard in one of these three areas during the fall. Congratulations to our students who have earned their "SLE" Award and Honor Roll this trimester!

Esta mañana, reconocimos a los estudiantes que obtuvieron el Cuadro de Honor y las Expectativas de Aprendizaje a nivel escolar. Los estudiantes en los grados 5-8 son reconocidos por ganar el cuadro de honor cuando obtienen todos los A y B en sus materias principales. Los estudiantes obtienen una alta lista de honor cuando obtienen todas las A. El Premio "SLE" de Expectativas de Aprendizaje a nivel escolar reconoce a los estudiantes en los grados K-8 que han ido más allá de este trimestre en su búsqueda de crecer en la fe, servir amorosamente a los demás y crecer en el conocimiento. Se espera que todos los estudiantes trabajen para crecer en estas tres áreas, y cada niño reflexionó sobre su crecimiento a lo largo del trimestre en el boletín de calificaciones "SLE" que se envió a casa con el boletín académico. El Premio "SLE" es una forma de que los estudiantes sean reconocidos por trabajar realmente duro en una de estas tres áreas durante el otoño. ¡Felicitaciones a nuestros estudiantes que se han ganado su Premio "SLE" y su Cuadro de Honor este trimestre!
