Principal's Announcements
-
These school organizations are the backbone of the school. They support the school in many ways. Special thanks to Mrs. Jessica Kear, School Board President, Mr. Ralph Rospide, Fathers’ Club President, Mrs. Monica Mahar, Mothers’ Club President, and Mrs. Sue Gatti, Parent-School Association President. The amount of time these organizations spend running events and raising money for the school is so appreciated. I enjoy working with each organization and look forward to working with the incoming presidents next year.
This was an unprecedented school year. COVID-19 closed the school down on March 16th. What was supposed to be a two-week closure lasted three months.
Online learning began on March 17th and lasted for 61 school days. The teachers and students transitioned very quickly. The teachers taped hundreds of hours of video lessons. Students attended class via Zoom meetings. They completed their assignments and submitted them through Google Classroom and Google Folders.
Car Parades became the new normal to celebrate birthdays and special events. Face masks became mandatory to wear when in public as well as keeping six feet apart from each other to be in compliance with the CDC guidelines for proper social distancing.
Needless to say, we have completed the 2019-20 school year. It had its challenges, but we successfully navigated through them. The time spent in quarantine brought families together and put us on “pause” that enabled us to appreciate the people in our lives and reinforce the significance and dignity of life. For this, I am grateful! I wish you peace and an abundance of blessings for a safe and relaxing summer vacation! Below, please find the summer resources.Social Distance Correctly!
Wash your hands and say your prayers because Jesus and germs are everywhere.
Mrs. Cecilia St. John, Principal
