New Administrator Formation Days
We look forward to seeing you at our Administrator Formation Days on August 2nd and August 3 at the Sacred Heart Major Seminary in Detroit. Principals and Assistant Principals are asked to attend one of the days. Counselors, Campus Ministers, and Priests are also invited to attend. Please share this form with anyone who plans to join us. You can see more information and the agenda here.
Please RSVP here by Thursday, July 28th at 4:00 p.m.
The presentation will be the same each day so you only need to attend ONE of the days. Fr. Sean Kilcawley will be our presenter (he presented for us last year, too) and will focus the presentation on Pope St. John Paul II’s Theology of the Body.

If your school needs financial assistance to enhance safety and security measures at your school, please contact the Department of Catholic Schools. As a reminder, each school should work with local law enforcement officers to ensure that adequate safety plans are in place.
Newton Applicant Tracking System Job Posting and Closing Instructions
The Applicant Tracking System job posting, and approval process instructions can be found here. Please know that is the responsibility of the school to either remove the job or to reach out to Roberta Robson, (robsonmcglone.roberta@aod.org), or Erin Taft, (taft.erin@aod.org) to request removal of the position. Unfortunately, Paycor Recruiting does not offer the option of putting an end date on the job posting so unless HR is made aware that the job has been filled and should be removed, the job will remain posted. Please see these instructions for how to close your open position in the ATS.
Religion Assessment
We took a brief pause from the Religion Assessment during COVID. During this pause, a Religion Assessment Review Committee was formed to edit and revise the assessment. The committee met over the course of this past year and has concluded their work. As such, we will return to using the Religion Assessment next school year (2022-2023). Dr. Bluestein will send more details soon.
