Information for our School Calendar/Handbook for the coming school year has been sent out for publication. Following directives from the Archdiocese
regarding the school year and Covid-19 we are hopeful to start the 2020-21 school year the Wednesday after Labor Day. Parent/Teacher meetings will be virtual and you will be informed about specifics as soon as we have them planned. Parents of children in our PreK-3, PreK-4, Kindergarten, and First Grade will receive letters from their teachers by next week.
This is the information you will find on the School Calendar, from the Archdiocese (with minor editing) regarding Covid-19:
Entering the building every morning should be smooth, stress-free, efficient, and conducted in a manner that keeps staff/students safe. To this end, the following process is designed to control transmission of any virus:
1) Parents must take temperatures of children before they leave home.
2) Each entrance will be monitored by staff to help insure students maintain a social distance and sanitize their hands (sanitizing provided by school).
3) It is mandatory that students riding the bus, entering the building, and
traveling to their classrooms wear masks. If they are going to remove them once they reach their desks, they must be placed in a the labeled storage bags provided.
4) Students will remain in their homerooms (cohorts) throughout the day, mindful of social distancing, and teachers will move from class to class
wearing the recommended face shields.
5) A very thorough "Best Practices Handbook" will be included in your Parent
Communication Folder. (The Archdiocesan Task Force is continuing to work
on their draft for the coming school year.)
Also, a letter will be posted on this website with other information regarding the beginning of the school year, including stationery you may purchase during the summer and other relevant items, within the next two weeks. Hopefully yearbooks will arrive soon and you will receive a blast about pick-ups. Please stay safe, enjoy the holiday with family & friends, & may the celebration of our nation's birthday be a respectful and meaningful one.
