September 9th, 2024 Weather Update:

Dear Crusader Parents/Guardians,

Brother Martin High School will be closed on Wednesday, September 11, 2024. Tuesday, September 10 will be a regular dismissal. 

Students will be expected to complete assignments that will be due upon their return to school following Wednesday’s closure. All assignments and lessons will be explained to your son during class or will be available on Education Management before the end of the school day tomorrow. These assignments will not be web-based because of the uncertainty regarding possible loss of electricity and internet service. To ensure that students have completed their assignments, their work will be due as soon as we return to normal school operations. Questions about your son’s assignments should be directed to the individual teachers.

Here is the most up-to-date information we have regarding activities and events that have been postponed or canceled:

• Parent/Teacher Conferences that were scheduled for Wednesday, September 11, 2024, have been rescheduled for Monday, September 16, 2024. Parents who used SignUp Genius to reserve an appointment will still have that time reserved. If you must cancel your appointment due to the date change, please click here and select Change my sign up. Parents can edit their existing sign ups or sign up for a new appointment until 8:00 a.m. on Friday, September 13th. If you need assistance, please email our Assistant Technology Coordinator, Mr. Kevin Caparotta, at kcaparotta@brothermartin.com. If you can not make your previously scheduled appointment and would like to contact a teacher, you should email or call your son’s teacher(s). Jostens representatives were also scheduled to be on campus during the Parent/Teacher Conferences to answer any questions about junior ring orders. Their representatives will now be on campus from 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. on Monday, September 16, 2024.
• Since Parent/Teacher Conferences have been moved to Monday, September 16, 2024, that day will now be an Afternoon Assembly Schedule with dismissal at 2:09 p.m.
• The Mu Alpha Theta call-out meeting that was scheduled for Wednesday, September 11, 2024, will now take place on Wednesday, September 18, 2024. The meeting will still take place in the Terrace immediately after school.
• The Flu Shot Clinic that was scheduled on Thursday, September 12, 2024, has been rescheduled for Tuesday, September 17, 2024. If you already made an appointment, your appointment time will remain the same. If you still want to make an appointment, please use this link to do so.
• Our annual Career Day and 8th Grade Day of Reflection were both scheduled for Friday, September 13, 2024. Both of these events have been postponed until a later date, and Friday will be a regular school day for all students.
• To accommodate the rescheduled Parent/Teacher Conferences on Monday, September 16, 2024, the Lacrosse Parent and Player meeting will be rescheduled to Monday, September 23, 2024. The meeting will still take place at 6:00 p.m. in the Benson Mall.

Please know that we never make the decision to close school without careful thought and consideration, but we believe that this is the appropriate decision to keep our students and faculty safe during this weather event. We continue to pray to Our Lady of Prompt Succor that we may be spared the loss of life and property during this hurricane season and that all of our Brother Martin families are safe. We will provide further updates regarding the remainder of the week as warranted.

Sincerely,

Ryan J. Gallagher '00   
Principal
