Dear Parents,

It’s hard to believe that the school year is just about over.  You should have received a family survey that is being conducted by the School Board.  The results of this survey are very useful to the Board and the Administration.  Thank you for your time in completing the survey.  

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our students, parents, teachers and friends of Corpus Christi School whose efforts have made this year such a successful one.
