Parents of Ambrosians,
This is your friendly reminder that course selection deadline is this Friday, April 12. Course selection can be accessed through your FACTS account under your student’s name.
Rising Freshmen and Sophomores will be choosing their Fine Arts Elective as well as indicating their level in Math and Latin.
Rising Juniors and Seniors will be indicating their level in Math and Latin (if applicable) and whether they would like to be in the Humanities honors sections (if not, they do not have to choose English, Religion, or History; they will automatically be enrolled in the standard sections of those courses). They will also choose a Science course as well as an elective. Juniors and Seniors taking 5 core courses should sign up for two electives; Juniors and Seniors taking 6 core courses should sign up for one elective. If your Junior or Senior is taking 7 core courses, the elective requirement can be waived.
Contact Mary Skemp at mary.skemp@ambroseacademy.org if you have any questions.
Thank you, Mary Skemp, Dean of Students, St. Ambrose Academy

Junior High students (6th-8th) have normal school hours this Friday (8:00 a.m. – 3:15 p.m.), though the school day will be filled with sessions on new hobbies, skills, and experiences.
Dress code is SAA Spirit Wear, like what we wear on Wednesdays. Please send students with a lunch as normal.
Thank you to our parent volunteers who have offered to lead these sessions! We’re excited to show you what our students learn.
Do you have a neat skill you’d be able to share with the St. Ambrose Junior High students?
On Fri., Jan. 19, the Junior High will have a Life Skills day. We began this tradition last year when the Seniors were on their March for Life field trip to Washington D.C. and the 9th -11th graders went on retreat, and it is a wonderful way for our younger students to learn new skills and hobbies!
We’d like to offer the students an opportunity to learn some wood carving, carpentry, sewing, knitting, decorating cookies, weight training, calligraphy, cord rosary making, etc. but we need your help! Do you have any practical skill that you would be willing to teach students? Students will be in groups of 10, though you can specify if you are able to take 20 at a time.
Please contact Ms. Behrens if you are interested and available! Thank you!
