Greetings St. Clare of Montefalco families,

This is so exciting. Our “The Birth of Jesus” Christmas Program is this evening. Remember only adults are allowed at the program  with tickets and masks must be worn. Doors will open at 6:00 though you need to drop your children off at 5:30. We are seeing if we can have the doors open a little earlier. Preschool and Kindergarten children will perform first. There will be a brief intermission where families that would like to take their little ones home may leave the program at this first intermission. All other families will stay until the end of the program. Students will all be brought out by the teachers like regular Dismissal every day. No one will be released early.
 
We are excited to share that we received rapid antigen tests here at school. We have enough to use with the children upon return to school January 3. More information will come to you over break about this after details are worked out. We are hoping that we will be able to ensure children are negative before entering the school after being away for 2 weeks.
 
Chromebooks and devices are being kept at school for safe keeping over break. They are devices provided by parishioner donations for academics and class work. We are also trying to cut our Google server off during break too. This will allow for the young people to understand the school Google account is for school use only. 
 
Please be sure to read the email sent Wednesday around School Safety. It is just such a different world now. We pray for God, the Blessed Mother and all the Angels and Saints to watch over us.  May you all have a wonderful and Merry Christmas.
