The Newsletter is coming to you one day early to answer questions you may have around Halloween as well as update you around the calendar. Tomorrow students may wear their costumes to school for the entire day. Teachers went over what is appropriate to wear at our Catholic, Christian school. Briefly, no blood or gore, no weapons of any sort, no costumes which degrade any children of God, costumes must be decent in covering of body respectfully. Masks may be brought to school. They may be worn during small celebration in self contained classrooms. Teachers will share zoom time with Distance Learning families as to when their celebrations will occur.

Families thank you from the bottom of my heart for calling the office to keep us updated about your children’s health, your travel plans, and general awareness about visitors from out of town of whom your children were exposed to over time. I know you hear this from me all of the time. But it can never be said enough. You are the reason the school is able to “Rock and Roll” staying safe and open with face to face instruction. Thank you from all of us who work in the school. Your support makes all of us want to stay the course and remain face to face until June. Please open this post to view the complete newsletter.
