WHERE GREAT THINGS HAPPEN

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

Thursday, May 12th is our May Crowning Mass when we will honor Mary, the Mother of Jesus, as well as our Senior Mothers. The Mass will be offered for the intentions of all of our BMHS mothers. This is a particularly special Mass, our last opportunity as the 2015-2016 community to join in prayer and celebration in the school gym before our seniors leave us. I hope many of our senior mothers will be present, but whether or not you are able to attend, you will be in our prayers. We will also honor Mr. John Fitzsimons and Mr. Andy Marafino who are celebrating 25 years at Bishop Montgomery as well as Mr. Dee Masters, Mrs. Rose Martinez and Mrs. Barbara Pudewa who will be retiring at the end of this school year.

I ask you for prayers for our seniors, the Class of 2016, during their last weeks as students of Bishop Montgomery. We pray that they fully enjoy every graduation event, that they each make good decisions and that they remain safe. During the senior assembly, the administrators met with the class and emphasized the importance of safety as well following parental and school rules and directives. Please be aware that Bishop Montgomery does not support, sponsor, or supervise any gatherings, trips or parties that are officially listed in the school calendar. It is important for your protection to note that any parties that you host for a group of students at your home encumber you with the liability for the safety of those students at the party and for their safety after they leave your home. There are so many choices for our seniors during these events and we want to do everything we can to support their good decisions and their well-being. Life is fragile but we know that our students don’t always remember that in the moment because they are young and feel invincible. They need our reminders!

Finally, thank you, parents, for your support and for your children. You, the students, the faculty, and the staff –as I tell you so often—are a daily source of thanksgiving in my life.

I know that we all continue to join in prayer for the repose of the soul of Mr. Ron Jenkins who so recently passed away and for his family, Ron Jenkins, Sr., his father, John Jenkins, his brother, and his sisters Casey Jenkins-Casey and Cody Jenkins. Mr. Jenkins touched many, many lives over the course of the 27 years he served at Bishop Montgomery. We celebrate his life!

As we approach the end of the school year, I offer this prayer for you—one that I pray for you at the end of every school year with the hope that you will come to understand and experience the depth of God’s unconditional love for each of you.

I pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your hearts, living within you as you trust in Him. May your roots go down deep into the soil of God’s marvelous love, and may you be able to feel and understand how long, how wide, how deep and how high His love really is, and to experience this love for yourselves, though it is so great that you will never see the end of it or fully understand it—and so at last you will be filled up with God Himself. –St. Paul’s letter to the Ephesians 3:17-19-

WHERE GREAT THINGS HAPPEN

With the school year quickly drawing to a close, we are now preparing for the Senior Awards Ceremony. The event will be held Thursday, May 26th at 10:00am. Student and parent invitations will be distributed and mailed, respectively, during May.

For students taking AP exams during May, I want to reiterate the College Board’s policy regarding cell phones and other electronic communication devices. These items should not be brought into the testing location at all. Having the cell phone or other items turned off and stored in a backpack or pocket is not acceptable. These items should either be left at home or secured in the student’s locker.

If the device is brought into the testing location, it should be turned over to the proctor with an affixed label. However, we do not want our proctors to spend valuable exam time collecting and returning these often expensive personal items. Please remind your child of these provisions and we will do the same.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

Casey DunnGuidance/Studies Coordinator

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 and detentions take precedence over sports’ practices and school activities (Parent-Student Handbook, page 15). Seniors must serve outstanding detentions prior to the Senior events.

Trips: Bishop Montgomery does not sponsor, condone, nor accept responsibility for trips, cruises, excursions not sanctioned by the school. There may be a current trip that may be disguised as a Bishop Montgomery “Senior Trip.” BMHS has nothing to do with organizing, sponsoring, or chaperoning any Senior trips. Any student distributing fliers that advertise these trips will be reprimanded. (Parent-Student Handbook, pg 22)

Graduation Parking: Please refrain from parking at the Little Company of Mary Parking Lot across the street and the parking lots of the neighboring businesses the day of the graduation. Vehicles parked in these parking lots are subject to being towed and the owners of those vehicles may be subjected to fines by the City of Torrance. Your cooperation will be appreciated by the community.

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.

Use of CellphoneAs a reminder, using the cellphone or any hand-held device is prohibited by law while driving. It is also important to remind your child of the importance of paying attention to their immediate surroundings when using their cellphone while walking or waiting to be picked up. Students should only use their cellphone when it is safe to do so.
