Greetings to you and how goes it? This pandemic has certainly stretched our relationships with each other in a bigger way. We have no current families with a member in their household with confirmed COVID-19. We are grateful for this. Please open this post to view the entire newsletter.

Father Andrew is going to say the Children's Mass live at 9:00 today. We are able to unite at that time as a school and parish family. Please open this news post to find the link for the live stream. You can also go directly to our school FB page and participate in the event. I look forward to sharing a video message to all of you this Friday.

Please be reassured that the MDE mandate not counting online hours does not apply to those of us in Catholic Schools. Open the included link or see St. Clare of Montefalco School FB post. I will also be sending a short video when the AOD finishes it. The Archdiocese leadership wants all of you to watch it. It might be ready tomorrow or Sunday. Open this post to view the link.

As we face these unprecedented times we at St. Clare of Montefalco School want to provide you with as many resources as possible. The links included in this post were sent to me from the Archdiocese of Detroit. Any young person 18 or younger may receive meals at the locations listed below. Other very good information is also included in these links. Please click on the title of this post to view the links.

As many of you know, Governor Whitmer closed all schools until April 5, 2020. The Archdiocese of Detroit is addressing the closure and their response is shared in the link in this post. Please read the letter. Know that we feel very well prepared at St. Clare of Montefalco. Next week will be our Spring Break. The scheduled Virtual Instructional Practice Day will not occur Tuesday. We will begin our distance learning on Monday, March 23, 2020 as directed by the AOD. Please watch for eblasts and messages coming from the school and your teachers over the course of next week. We will keep you in the loop as best we are able.

The concern for our students' health and safety is always our highest priority. In response to recent news about COVID-19 and its potential effects on our school community. In addition to our updated pandemic plan and emergency building closure drills, we would also like to share information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to better inform our community about COVID-19.
