The 1975-76 school year at St. Roch’s will begin Tuesday, September 2nd with all-day sessions. The introductory period of half-days the week before Labor Day, frequently used in former years, will be skipped this year since the weather then is often too hot for classes.
For the first time this year the Kindergarten will be taught reading through the introduction of the McMillan Reading Program. This is in addition to the Cemeral Language Arts Program which has proven very successful over the past two years.
Popular mini-courses, introduced the last semester last year will again be held beginning sometime after October 1st. Sr. Leo Ann hopes to expand the number being offered and is seeking both new course ideas and more volunteer teachers.
The first Parents’ School Association meeting on Thursday, September 18th will be the traditional introduction of the faculty to the parents, all of whom are urged to attend.
