FAQs: Understanding Friday Folders, Signatures, and Corrections

Welcome Back to Middle School!

Welcome to the 2016-17 school year! 

This blog is written by the middle school team of teachers in an effort to communicate more with both students and families. We hope to address topics specific to the middle school, including common questions and tips that will help every St. Brigid student succeed. It is a source in addition to the Wolfhound Wednesday and other hard-copy papers that are sent home.

Welcome to our new blog from teachers to families!

Our goal is to share timely, relevant information about what's going on at school and how parents and students can ensure success in the seventh and eighth grades.

We have found that many of our students and parents share common questions, so we will gradually add video and text posts to address current topics and answer commonly-asked questions.
