Teacher Comments:          

Any skill, requires practice and a positive attitude in order to be successful.  Therefore, cooperation and participation are major factors in grading.  Please encourage your child to develop these values.

Please come by and see me, call, or e-mail (oneiljo@catholic.org) if you have any concerns.  My conference time is 8:00 - 8:45 Monday - Thursday.
