Principal's Corner
Dear Families,
What a tremendous beginning to this new school year! Wow! Things are off and running at full speed. I am very excited for our Havana Nights Casino Soiree!!! There has already been so much time, effort, and dedication given on the part of our Havana Nights committee. I am looking forward to seeing all of you there and truly seeing the spirit and support you have for our school. This year, the Casino Night proceeds will go to PROJECT HVAC and installing air conditioning throughout the entire school plant. So…..buy those tickets and come on out and enjoy the party! But most importantly, please enjoy the community you have all helped to create here at Visitation, it will truly be an amazing and fun event.
Our second All School Mass is scheduled for Friday, October 11th at 11am. I would like to invite the entire community to attend mass and show our youth that the adults in the community support them in their faith development. We coach them on the ball field, we take them to dance class, we study with them, and we encourage them to succeed. We should feel the same obligation to help them develop into the best child each of them can be, and to do that we need to support their faith development. Please come and support them, model your faith, and show them how to live their faith. Thank you! We also invite you all to pray a decade of the rosary with us every morning at morning assembly. October is the month dedicated to the Holy Rosary. We will honor this special month, especially since we are a Marian school, by saying a decade each morning as a faith community.
I also invite you to take part in your child’s daily education by inquiring about their time spent at school. Ask about their friends and teachers. Get involved as they complete their homework or seek your help on special projects. Encourage your child to read at least 20 minutes every night, or quiz them on their math facts. I am confident that your child will demonstrate greater motivation as you continue to show interest in their academic, faith, and social experiences. To that end, Parent-Teacher Conferences are scheduled for October 23rdand 24th. This year, every parent will be given an appointment time (unless you decline). Please fill out the Availability Form, then Mrs. La Pata will send home your formal confirmation of your Parent Teacher Conference shortly after that is returned.
In closing, I would like to leave you with the mission statement of OUR school. I want you all to know that as I walk through and observe all the classes, the teachers and students are living out this mission every day and in every classroom…
“Visitation School provides its students with a Catholic education in a Christ-centered and child-centered
environment, where Christ is the reason for its existence, the model of its faculty and the inspiration of its students.”
