Seasonal

Beginning Monday, October 16th, students are
expected to be in regular school uniform.
Cathedral’s dress code can be
found on pages 41-42 of the Student/Parent
Handbook. Order forms for school
sweaters are in the main office.
Change in Policy: Physical Exams
In an effort to improve the health and well-being of our students and facilitate the Athletic and Physical Education aspects of Cathedral Prep, we will require that every student have a current physical examination on file as of January 1, 2007. Current is defined as “within the last year.” Please be sure to have your doctor clearly indicate all health concerns for your son.
This requirement has already been met by the Freshman Class and any athlete who participated in a Fall sport. They do not need to update medicals. Any other student is required to update his physical examination. For your convenience, a new medical form has been enclosed.
If you have any questions concerning this change in policy, please contact the Main Office.

Topic: "YOUR TRUTH: KNOW IT...SPEAK IT... LIVE IT"
The most treasured gift we have to give to others is the gift of who we REALLY are, and so it is essential that we know and are comfortable with our TRUE self.
This is an exciting and challenging journey that impacts all our relationships and ministries.
Our time together will help us to be more and more comfortable with the person that Jesus spoke about when He said: "Love your neighbor as you love yourself"

Several years ago I formed an advisory board of parents to help keep the
channels of communication open and honest.
Over the past few years this board has become extremely important to the
life of Cathedral. One of the recent
developments on the board was the appointment of representatives to each class
who would serve as liaisons between the class and me. These liaisons are:
Freshman Year: Ozzie Velez (718 843 8911) or
Rita Lanza (718 769 2526)
Sophomore
Year: Barbara Mauceri (917 939 6166)
Junior
Year: Brenda McDonnell (work 212 488
0251)
Senior
Year: Marie Turturro (718 382 7230)
