NEWS FROM DR.

Enrollment for our current and new students opened on March 15th. Current students who do not have their enrollment completed by March 31st MAY lose their seat. Those students who do not complete their re-enrollment by March 31st and if there is a waitlist for that grade, would lose their seat to a new student on the waitlist. Should a seat open prior to the start of school, they could possibly secure a spot. Make sure you enroll today! Important Reminder: An email was sent to all the families about volunteering. If your Virtus is not up to date you will not be allowed to chaperone a field trip or volunteer in the school. If the bulletins are not completed, we will let you know that you cannot volunteer. You must be up to date on your bulletins. I appreciate you taking the time to complete your bulletins. Parents and volunteers, please enter the school building through the front door to get buzzed in, report to the office and receive a visitor sticker. Mass uniforms on Fridays.
Blessings, Dr. Reid |

As we move into the second half of our school year we will be following our diocesan infectious disease policy for COVID. This means that should an individual contract COVID, they will be able to return to school after 24 hours fever free and symptom improvement. This aligns with how we currently manage all communicable diseases throughout our school communities. We are grateful for your collaboration to help maintain our safe environment. |
