Carpool Reminders
Please be advised that when you are parked behind the cones during afternoon dismissal this designates that you are in the second carpool line. Do not move the cones or run over the cones.
Also, please leave animals in the car when you are picking up students in the afternoon.
Coronavirus Concerns
The Archdiocese shared a letter to address the growing concerns of the COVID-19 Coronavirus. Please see the below excerpt and the letter in it's entirety below.
The health and safety of your children are our top priorities. In collaboration with our parishes and schools, the Archdiocese of Louisville continues to monitor recommendations from the Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness (LMPHW) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19).
The CDC assessment of March 2, 2020 states, “For the general American public, who are unlikely to be exposed to this virus at this time, the immediate health risk from COVID-19 is considered low.” We will continue to monitor the developing situation, and if recommendations change, we will notify schools and parents immediately. At this time, we are following normal protocols.
CDC recommends individuals, families, and schools follow everyday preventive measures:
- Voluntary Home Isolation: Stay home when you are sick with respiratory disease symptoms. Now, these symptoms are more likely due to influenza or other respiratory viruses than to COVID-19-related virus.
- Respiratory Etiquette: Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue, then throw it in the trashcan.
- Hand Hygiene: Wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds; especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing. If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with 60%-95% alcohol.
- Environmental Health Action: Routinely clean frequently touched surfaces and objects.
Routine use of these measures by individuals, their families, and schools will increase community resilience and readiness for responding to an outbreak.

Summer Solutions is here!
Summer learning loss puts students at a serious disadvantage. This is when skills and knowledge are lost over the summer months, causing students to move backwards instead of progressing.
By spending just minutes a day with Summer Solutions, students get the practice they need to keep moving forward. It was designed to help students return to school after summer break confident in the skills they’ve already learned and ready to master new ones.
Your child worked hard all year. Make sure that progress sticks. Give your child the advantage of Summer Solutions.
Each book is $13.00
