March 2, 2023
Dear CtRCS Families,
Our last week before Spring Break is shaping up to be a busy one. Tomorrow, we have our annual Flapjacks with Faculty and next Friday, we have our Teacher for the Day event...the Chili Cook Off is certainly the event that keeps giving! Next Friday will also bring the end of the third quarter, our annual Talent Show, and it is admissions decision day for new students in 23-24. While the students are getting ready for the break, we are busy, busy right up until then.
Monday, March 20th will officially kick off the 4th and final quarter of the 2022-2023 school year...hard to believe!
In the Light of Christ,
Dan Courtney
Principal
IXL at Home
CtRCS is proud to offer IXL as a differentiated, online resource that helps every student in K-8 in Language Arts and Math. IXL's Skill Plans have been updated to reflect our students' most recent NWEA MAP Growth scores, so each student's skill plan is adapted to meet their specific learning goals. Please click here for more information about how IXL supports learning at home.
Library News
Please round up your late library books! All library books checked out from the third nine weeks should be returned and/or renewed before leaving for spring break. We want every student to be able to check out during their library time. Please ensure your child brings their library book back to school each week. All overdue books from the third nine weeks will be accessed at a lost book fee if not returned to the library by Wednesday, March 22.
Please contact Mrs. Magill if your child cannot find their library book. Lost book fees are accessed through your Students' FACTS account. (You cannot send a replacement book.) You MUST notify Mrs. Magill that your lost book fee has been paid so she can remove the hold from your child's library account. Please contact Mrs. Magill at sheila.magill@ctrschool.com. Thank you for your understanding.
No Lunch Visitors on Fridays
During Lent, most students eat their lunch in the classrooms due to setup for the parish Fish Fry. Please, no lunch visitors on the Fridays of Lent (Mar. 3, Mar. 10, Mar. 24, Mar. 31) Thank you for your understanding!
The CARE committee needs donations for the March staff meeting. We will need "fresh snacks" and gift cards for teacher gifts. This is a great way to show our teachers our appreciation for them!
Crusader Keeper Program
CtRCS Crusader Keeper program goals:
- To provide an extra set of eyes and ears to enhance school security and provide a greater sense of campus safety, allowing students and teachers to focus on learning and instruction.
- Crusader Keepers are fathers, grandfathers, and other father figures who volunteer to be present on campus. All volunteers must be CMG Connect- Safe Environment trained. Thank you to our Crusader Keeper Heads: Edward Cavazos, Jr. and Edward, Sr. for their commitment to our CtRCS family!
Welcome to our newest Crusader Keepers: Mr. Brendan Kennedy and Mr. Galen Pruett. Both Crusader dads came in for training on “Go Texan Day!” We are so blessed to have them.
