Welcome to Holy Week! This is one of the most important weeks in our Liturgical Year. Though, we are unable to celebrate all of our traditional Lenten activities, we have had the chance to adjust some as well as create some new ones.

Spring has sprung! I wish someone would tell the weather gods that it’s time for sunshine, flowers and warm weather. We’ve made it through two seasons, the most difficult ones, with no Covid cases in our school. It would be nice to get the students outdoors more in some springtime fresh air. We’d love to […]

Clarification on In-Person v. Remote Learners
A few requests have come to teachers asking that a student be allowed to do remote learning on a particular day due to illness or a scheduled appointment.

Dear Families: We welcome our 8th graders back into the building as we mark Catholic Schools Week!

Dear Families: Yesterday, we welcomed back our 5th graders from remote learning to full-time in person classes. It is so joyful to watch the faces of our students as they return to the building. In a conversation with the returning 4th graders last week, they remembered every detail of the hard news we received last […]
