Dear Saint Benedict Academy families,
The fourth quarter will have us busy trying to fit in as
much as possible before we end the year in June. In addition to the objectives
listed below we will also be incorporating lessons and activities that support
classroom instruction.
Please note that the portaportal.com guest name log in has
been changed to SBASBA to make it easier for students to log in independently.
If you have any questions or concerns about your child’s
progress please feel free to contact me at
computerlab@stbenedictacademy.org .
Sincerely,
Mrs. Demanche
