Dear Parents,

Happy New Year! We have begun 2014—a new year and a new semester—and the graduation year of the Class of 2014! I ask that you pray for the seniors and their parents as they continue with the college application process and await acceptance decisions. Our prayerful support is so important.

You may have noticed the lights on the trees outside of my office in the front of the school. They were lit on Christmas Eve, December 24th and will remain lit until the Feast of the Baptism of Christ, January 12th which is the Church’s celebration of Christmas. Each of those lights represents a donor who has contributed to the Queen of Angels Tuition Assistance Fund since last December 24, 2012 through December 24, 2013. The lights signify our community’s thanks and our prayers for each of the donors and for their intentions. This is the second year of this new and lovely Bishop Montgomery tradition.

I want to thank those of you who have commented that you read the Weekly Reflections that I post on the home page of the school website. I appreciate your generous comments and am so glad that I can offer at least this brief opportunity for spiritual reflection. When I write these reflections I pray for each h of you and want you to know how grateful I am for your presence in our community.

Here are a few dates to note in January:• January 8th, Classes Resume, 8:45 a.m. start• January 13th, 7:45 Faculty Meeting, 8:45 a.m. start• January 20th, Martin Luther King Jr. Day—School Holiday• January 25th, High School Placement Exam 8:00am• January 28th, Junior Ring Mass, 8:00 a.m., gym

As we begin this new year of 2014 and make our resolutions, it is good to remember that in spite of our resolutions, God has a plan for each of us. I always have to remember that my plan is not always God’s plan and it is my constant challenge to be open to God’s plan for me through prayer. God’s love for us is unconditional and so we trust in His promise to care for us no matter our challenges. I share this prayer because it reminds me that Christmas is a time to “feast on the refreshing waters, the rich food of the spirit,” to gather “strength to continue the pilgrimage” long after Christmas is over. I hope that this prayer speaks to you as much as it speaks to me.


From the PrinciPal:Ms. Rosemary Distaso-Libbon, Principal

“Once they saw a star that pointed to a promised land, to a land of peace: peacemakers set out to follow that star, both a joyful and an arduous journey. Sometimes the star shines brightly, the promise seems certain, and the pilgrims can sing, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring God’s peace.” Often the star disappears, is clouded over, hidden from view, and the pilgrims grope blindly, grow discouraged, get weary, give thought to settling down, to forgetting the promise of peace.

One thing is certain: All pilgrims need nourishment to sustain their journey. An occasional oasis for the spirit is essential, a time to feast on the refreshing waters, the rich food of the spirit, in order to get the strength to continue the pilgrimage through darkness, star-shine or not.” --Mary Lou Kownacki, OSB, of Pax Christi

On behalf of the Bishop Montgomery Administration, Faculty, Staff, and Students, I wish you a Happy New Year filled with the many gifts that God’s blessings bring.

You are, as always, in my prayers.

Attendance: Be sure to call in your student’s absence or tardy directly to the Attendance Office at 540-2021, ext. 233, or 540-3070 in the morning. We have 24-hour voice mail for your convenience. Also, a phone call does not necessarily excuse an absence or tardy. It merely lets us know that the parent/guardian was aware of the absence or tardy. The nature of the absence or tardy (excused or unexcused) will be determined by the Deans and Attendance Office. Failure to call the Attendance Office the day of your student’s absence will be unexcused. Refer to your Parent-Student Handbook (pages 11-12) for what constitutes an “excused” absence or tardy.

Detentions: Detentions are to be served on or before the date indicated on the violation or referral slip. It is the responsibility of the student to make alternate arrangements for transportation if a detention is to be served. Disregard for assigned detentions may result in probation. Please note that detentions take precedence over sports practices and school activities (Parent-Student Handbook, page 14).

No Messages. The Attendance Office and the Front Office staff do not deliver messages during the day. It is time consuming and disruptive to classes.

Prom Time. Prom is just around the corner. As a reminder, “the school does not permit the renting of hotel rooms or other facilities for students’ use for activities before or after Bishop Montgomery dances... The school does not assume responsibility or liability for damages, loss of property, or injury caused when such rental agreements are incurred by students or their parents.” (Parent-Student Handbook, page. 20)

Prom Dress Attire. The dance is formal.

Gentlemen are required to wear tuxes or suits. Ties are required unless dress shirts with a mandarin collar are worn. Gentlemen may not wear earrings, sunglasses, hats, gloves nor may they carry canes.Ladies may wear two pairs of earrings but may not wear earrings in the upper earlobe. Fitted dresses may not be excessively tight. Dresses should be comfortable for dancing and sitting. The slit on the dress may not exceed two inches above the knee. The length of the dress MUST BE AT THE KNEE (MAY NOT BE ABOVE THE KNEE). Sleeveless and strapless dresses are permitted provided that the bodice appropriately covers the chest and back. Backless dresses are NOT PERMITTED AND may not fall below mid-back. Ladies are reminded that the display of excessive cleavage is inappropriate and unbecoming. Dresses may not show a bare midriff or contain cutouts, which expose the torso (FRONT OR BACK). Additionally, the dress material which covers the chest to KNEE area must be opaque not transparent (mesh or chiffon style material is not permitted in this area).Dress shoes are required for ladies and gentlemen. The hotel requires that shoes remain on at all times while on the premises. Students’ attire should be appropriate, modest and in good taste.Please do not assume any liberties with these guidelines when you or (in the case of gentlemen with guest passes) your date purchase dress attire. All non-BMHS guests are required to conform to these guidelines. Anyone not adhering to the above stated guidelines will not be permitted to enter the dance, and will be sent home. In these cases the bid money will not be refunded. Freshmen may not attend the Senior Prom dance.The school reserves the right to refuse admittance to any person not properly attired.

*****STUDENT DROP-OFF & PICK-UP PROCEDURES*****

Drop-off Procedures


disciPline: Ms. Betty Behen - Dean of Women - ext. 234Mr. Lee Flores - Dean of Men - ext. 232

Parents driving west on Torrance Blvd.1. Parents driving west on Torrance Blvd., who are making a left turn, can come

into the campus.2. Parents may not make a left turn into the East Parking Lot.3. Parents must drive onto the campus and continue driving until they have arrived

to the designated drop-off point located in the East Parking Lot.4. Drop-offs are prohibited in front of the school. Parents must drop-off students

in the designated passenger drop-off points located in the East Parking lot adjacent to the school. Parents will enter the East Parking Lot through the northeast entrance by the marquee.

5. The Security staff will be available to control traffic

Parents driving east on Torrance Blvd.1. Parents driving east on Torrance Blvd. cannot enter the campus. All parents

driving east on Torrance Blvd. must proceed to enter the East Parking Lot in order to drop-off their students in the designated drop-off points. Students may not be dropped-off on Torrance Blvd.

Please note that U-turns are not permitted. The only legal place to make a U-turn is on Prospect.

Exiting the East Parking Lot1. All drivers exiting the East Parking Lot must make a right turn only. Cars may not

proceed onto the street until they have stopped at the stop sign.2. Please do not merge to make a left on Henrietta, as attempting to do so will cause a delay for the other parents who are attempting to exit.

Picking-up and Dropping-off Off-Campus:All parents should pick-up and drop-off their students on-campus. To avoid the last minute rush, we encourage you to arrive before 7:30AM. The traffic flow on Torrance Blvd. is heavier after this time and may affect how quickly you are able to exit the campus. If you decide to pick-up or drop-off your students anywhere else, please refrain from picking up or dropping off your students at our neighboring businesses or residential driveways as this creates an inconvenience for our neighbors. Please respect the property of our neighbors by refraining from moving trashcans, taking property, littering, or parking or pulling into our neighbors’ driveways. Also, please make sure to drop-off your students in areas that are safe and legal. We have received many reports that there have been BMHS parents or carpools driving recklessly on Palos Verdes Boulevard and students are being dropped-off by their parents/carpool drivers illegally by the red curb zones, in front of fire hydrants or in the middle of the street. In the interest of the safety of all pedestrians and drivers and as a courtesy to our neighbors, students should be dropped-off on campus. Students whose parents fail to comply with the pick-up and drop-off procedures will be dealt with on campus. The Torrance Police Department has also been contacted and they have informed us that they will be citing drivers along Torrance Boulevard, Henrietta and Palos Verdes Boulevard. It is essential to give our neighbors the same respect and courtesy that we expect from each other on campus.

Lastly, in the interest of our students’ safety, we also would like for you to remind your children to obey all traffic and pedestrian laws. Many students are crossing the street when the signal light is red or are not using the appropriate crosswalks. We have received phone calls from parents, faculty, and residents concerned over our students’ safety. Please remind them to follow all traffic and pedestrian laws.


activities: Mrs. Milana McDermott - Dean of Student Life - ext. 273

Happy New Year from the Activities Department! I hope that you have had a blessed and joyful holiday season and wish you a very prosperous 2014.

Special thanks goes to the students from ASB, Bishop Bibliophiles, Campus Ministry, Dumbledore’s Army, Harbor Interfaith Services, Band and music production who participated by wrapping gifts, singing Christmas Carols and reading Christmas stories to children.

Queen of Angels Tuition Assistance FundThe Queen of Angels Tuition Assistance Fund was created in 2012 in order to help current Bishop Montgomery students. Since the fund was created, over $265,000 has been donated by Bishop Montgomery parents, past parents, alumni and friends. Once again, we are asking you, our current BMHS parents, for your support of this important fund. In the coming weeks you will be receiving a Queen of Angels Tuition Assistance letter from Ms. Libbon (if you already have not received it). We ask that you consider making a gift of between $50-$100. However, any gift that you are comfortable making is a blessing and will make an impact in the lives of our students.

We thank all of you who have given to this fund in the past and we look forward to your continued support.

As always, all gifts to Bishop Montgomery are tax-deductible as we are a 501 (c)(3) organization.

We thank you for your support of Bishop Montgomery and your commitment to Catholic education.

Happy New Year to all. As we begin the month of January with solemnity of Mary Mother of God on January 1st may we all seek to follow Mary’s example to magnify the Lord in all of our actions and to seek daily to be filled with God’s grace. Everyday our PA announcements end with Mary, Queen of Angels Pray for Us. It is our trust and our hope that Mary’s protection and guidance is with us daily. This January we prepare for Catholic School’s Week and our Junior Ring celebration on January 28th. The Theme that the Bishop’s have chosen for 2014 is : “Catholic Schools: Communities of Faith, Knowledge and Service.” This is certainly a hallmark of Bishop Montgomery and we are blessed to have such a wonderful faith community who seeks knowledge and puts into practice what we preach by our caring actions. January 15th and 29th are our next Denim Days. These are excellent ways we as a community help those in need. Please pray for our Kairos preparations. We rely on your prayers and are happy to announce that the student team leading the February Kairos retreat are: Cassidy Pfahler, Allison Henry, ClaireThatcher, Michael Lara, Peter Sarmiento, Lily Urquizo & Rizza Biscocho.

Pre-order your yearbook on your upcoming tuition payment. You can pre-order your yearbook until your Feb-ruary tuition payment for $125. After February, the price increases to $150 and you aren’t guaranteed a year-book. Last year, we sold out of books. Don’t get left out on all of this year’s memories!

The names of Yearbook Pre-orders is posted in the 2nd building hallway. Please have your student check the list to make sure they have pre-ordered a yearbook.

Alexa Johnson, Assistant to the Technology Committee Chair, has graciously committed to help train our stu-dents and faculty in using their Google Drive accounts. We have begun training all the English teachers and their students. By second semester, all students will be familiar with their Google accounts and will be able to use them for any of their classes and assignments. Alexa will also be training and giving workshops to our faculty on how to use their devices and educational apps in the classroom.

The following are some areas that the Technology Committee has been working on:• We have begun receiving bids from technology utility companies for the E-Rate and California Telecon-

nect Fund programs. These two programs offer discounted technology utilities for schools and libraries. After all the bids have been received, we will review them and select the companies that best compliment our school’s technology needs.

• We have also begun the process for updating the wireless infrastructure at our school. Mike Ricci, Data Ana-lyst from Marymount California University, has inspected our current setup and has been advising us in what areas need to be upgraded. We are very thankful for his generosity and assistance.

• We would like to thank Mr. Ron Alpine for donating a Canon inkjet printer to Bishop Montgomery’s Publica-tions and graphic design department. With this printer, we will now be able to print our own photo quality posters in-house. Ron is a former Bishop parent of alumni Mike Zuanich ‘04 and Robbie Alpine ‘12.

• Our principal, Ms. Rosemary Libbon, has informed us that the proceeds from our Auction for Education event this year will go to upgrading the technology at our school. Please support this event by making donations for the auction and by bidding on the items. Visit our school’s website for more information about the event.
