Letter from Superintendent Kevin Kijewski

Dear St. Clare of Montefalco Families,

Superintendent Kevin Kijewski  said the following around closures of elementary schools in the Archdiocese of Detroit.

“If a Catholic elementary school must temporarily suspend in person instruction and transition to distance education due to community health concerns, those decisions will be made on a case by case basis in conjunction with the Department of Catholic Schools and medical experts. Further, any such decisions will be guided by the best understanding and evidence for what will protect and best serve our students."

The full content of the Superintendent’s letter addressing school closures may be found  here.

Going to the virtual platform was not a decision made lightly. The goal of our school was to try and make it until at least Thanksgiving or even through the end of the current week with in person instruction. The situation in our school revolves around more than the current reported exposures on our website. I am in contact with the Wayne County Health and Detroit Health Departments often multiple times a day around the various scenarios I am being made aware of by families contacting me. The decision to close was made in the best interest of all members of the St. Clare of Montefalco School community. The suspension is temporary but necessary.       

Peace and safe health wished to you all,
Ms. Crowley
