The school is almost ready for complete summer cleaning as teachers continue to close out their classrooms. We are positively progressing with registration for the upcoming school year. PK 4 and GD 5 lead the way in numbers registered. The phone continues to ring with inquiries and we registered more children this week. Optimism prevails that even more families will choose St. Clare of Montefalco School after they view our Virtual Open House. Please open this post to read the complete newsletter.

I hope this finds you all in good health and doing well. At this time I need to share a few updates. Report cards will not be on Powerschool today, Tuesday. We are experiencing difficulties due to fourth quarter being Pass/Fail and only using the first three quarters for our Final Grade. We hope to have the matter resolved Wednesday or Thursday. Our apology for this delay. I will alert you once they are posted online. Please open this post to view all the updates.

You are an amazing group of people. Who would ever believe the Online Auction put together by parents and parish members would draw in $70,000? Jaws all drop whenever I share this news with anyone I come into contact with whether with the Archdiocese or just in general. This little catholic school community in the middle of a pandemic, spiritually challenged due to significant losses of close family members, and emotionally challenged by many becoming unemployed, this little catholic community raised $70,000 to support its school. St. Clare of Montefalco school families you made that happen. Your spirit shines through no matter what darkness falls upon you. God is with you, that is obvious.

Dropping the mic! We made it through the entire 2019/2020 school year without missing a beat. Why? It’s because the St. Clare of Montefalco School family is about challenge. You all do not hesitate or back away from challenge. We had so many over the course of the school year. Honestly, I was forever impressed at how smoothly our school moved into the Distance Learning platform in March. Fellow Falcons, we had no fussing, no defeated attitudes, no missing in action families over the course of the last 10 weeks. The few that struggled connecting had support by school staff to make sure they were brought back into the fold. Please open this post to view the complete newsletter.

I hope this finds you doing well. Superintendent Kevin Kijewski issued the following letter around the opening of school for next school year. Please open this post to view the Superintendent's letter and the complete newsletter.

Students and teachers remain engaged in daily lessons. Thank you parents for providing the space and support during this Distance Learning experience. We moved from families working with packets you picked up in March, to email contact with teachers daily, to Live Classroom Zooms, to reaching our last two weeks working in multiple platforms. Amazing, truly amazing. Please open this post to view the complete newsletter.

A few quick updates as things begin to wrap up quickly over the course of the next few weeks at school. Remember that there is no school this Friday, May 8th for students. Please open this post to view the complete newsletter.

As the principal of St. Clare of Montefalco during the 2020 Coronavirus Pandemic I need to share that many St. Clare families are dealing with sickness and loss. For privacy reasons and to limit the spread of fear and gossip, requests for prayer have been and will continue to be shared at the Wednesday Live Children’s Weekly Mass at 9:00. If you are unable to view the mass you may always watch the recording of it later and pray for those who seek prayers. Please open this post to view the entire newsletter.

It is with hearts full of peace and understanding of the current situation as well as concern for the safety of our parents, volunteers, parishioners, school students, school staff, and our wonderful ANNUAL BOOK SALE supporters that we, the St. Clare of Montefalco PTO, have decided to cancel our Annual Used Book Sale for the 2020-2021 school year. PLEASE REFRAIN FROM DROPPING BOOKS OFF AT THE SCHOOL OR PARISH AS THIS INCREASES RISK FOR OUR SCHOOL AND PARISH STAFF. WE ARE NOT COLLECTING BOOKS AT THIS TIME. The Book Sale is a major fundraiser for our school. Therefore, we are exploring fun ideas to replace the finances lost and will keep you informed of this progress. Please watch for future announcements! If you have fundraising suggestions, please contact Sue Pongratz, PTO President, at monkeys5little@gmail.com. The Annual St Clare PTO School Auction has been postponed. We are exploring a Fall date for the event. Look for an upcoming rescheduling announcement and we appreciate your support of our wonderful school! Questions? Contact schoolauction@stclarem.org.

I hope this finds you doing well. Families, students and staff you are all incredible folks. Your love and faith radiate through all this uncertainty. Your embracing of each other and reaching out in support with prayer and resources to assist those in our community who are ill or grieving the loss of loved ones demonstrates God’s love that keeps you all family.

Our community stepped up to the challenge for the benefit of all our students. Thank you. Please open the post to view the entire letter.

I hope this finds you doing well. This is a brief update to let you know that the staff and I have been thinking of all of you this weekend. I am reminding you that you, your families health, faith, and spirituality take precedence over academics as we move through the stages of this pandemic. These are my points for today.
