The Mother of Sorrows, or Our Lady of Sorrows, is Mary, the Mother of Jesus. She is depicted in many ways, and the images drawn by our students Andrew, Laura, and Maura show that she is usually remembered for the joyful aspects of her life. Mary suffered greatly as the Mother of God, and the pain she felt was real. In my heart each wound renew of my Savior crucified.
Parents are to phone the school office to report absences.
A written excuse from parents stating the reason for the absence must be presented when the student returns to school. Absence is excused in cases of illness, death in the family, or other grave circumstances. Students may also be excused from school to participate in an educational tour or trip. Parents are asked to give the reason why the tour or trip could not be taken when school was not in session, and to send the written notification at least two weeks prior to the event. Upon return from an excused absence, the student needs to see the subject or homeroom teacher in order to make arrangements for make-up work and tests.
