A Note from the President

Hello!


The new year is now officially underway! Please note that parent meetings take place this week and you don’t want to miss it! Putting names with faces and figuring out how things happen at  high school is just part of the agenda. This is your first opportunity to meet and socialize with parents of your daughter’s classmates! Community is a big part of the Ursuline experience and we want to be sure that you feel included.


I look forward to meeting new parents and chatting with those of you who are returning. We have plans for a great year … for parents and students!!!


See you soon!
