Dear IHM School Parents, Last week we met with the construction group that will be heading our parish’s Capital Campaign Projects this summer. We are really excited about all the improvements that will be made to our building, including: new lock system throughout the building, replace HVAC system, air conditioning in the gym, new roof on the church and school, and carpet replaced with new flooring. Due to this extensive work that will be done, we have adjusted our school calendar for the end of this school year and the 2019-2020 school year. The Diocese has officially approved an earlier end date this year in order to accommodate the construction schedule. Our official last day for the 2018-2019 school year will now be Wednesday, May 22. This will be a full day with bus service. We greatly appreciate your understanding and flexibility as we embark on this journey to transform our campus! In regard to next year’s school calendar, you will notice that our first day of school will be Wednesday, August 28th. You will also notice that we have shortened spring break and extended our school days by one hour on several no bus days (as noted on calendar) to ensure we make up for the late start date. As in anything related to construction, please be aware that as construction progresses, there could be issues that arise that may result in further changes to the calendar. We will share any changes with you as soon as they occur. Again, we thank you for your support during this construction period. God Bless Your Day, Mrs. Marcos and Mrs. Harper
