Dear families,

Within the past few days, area agencies have become aware of a threat being made toward a San Antonio-area school. The threat was not specific to any particular school, but did allude to possible violence being committed on the morning of April 24th. While this may well be a hoax, we have to treat the threat seriously.

This morning, the San Antonio Police Department and state and federal law enforcement agencies met to discuss a collaborative and coordinated approach. San Antonio’s Regional Intelligence Center (SARIC) and the FBI are evaluating the validity of the threat and tracing its source.

In the meantime, security is being heightened by all area agencies. The San Antonio Police Department, the Bexar County Sheriff’s Department, and the FBI are all working to safeguard our students.

The safety of your children is our priority and therefore this collective response will continue and all information will be shared with our schools and parents as it becomes available.

If anyone has information that may help authorities with this situation, please call the SAPD tip line at (210) 225-TIPS (8477).

Respectfully,

Marti West

Interim Superintendent of Catholic Schools

Parents, Students, and Teachers:

We came across this article, New SAT to have more practical questions on Page A11 of Thursday, April17, 2014 issue of San Antonio Express, and thought it would be a great read for everyone.  It highlights some examples of the proposed changes in the SAT that will unfold in the spring of 2016.

The presentation at the last PTC meeting addressed these changes and how Holy Cross plans on ensuringour students are prepared for SAT success.  If you have any questions about our plan or about the changes, in general, please do not hesistate to contact me by phone or email.  My contact information can be found at the bottom of this message.

Thank you and have a Blessed Easter!

In Holy Cross,

Richard Vasquez
