Notes from the Teacher:

- I enjoyed talking with all of you on curriculum night! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and ideas with me. 

-We have begun taking AR tests.  The tests can be a little tricky at times.  Please encourage your child to read their book twice before taking a test on it. This will help with comprehension. 

-To gain access to your child’s grades in INow please email parent.portal@owensborocatholic.org . List each of your children’s name and grade and tell your relationship to the child. (mother, father). You will receive an email giving you a username and password.

Once you have this, INow can be accessed through the Parent Portal on the www.owensborocatholic.org website.
