We plan to send a communication out on Wednesday with more details.
Chromebook Rentals: If you think that your student may need a Chromebook to borrow to work on NTI at home, please complete this Survey. Completion of the survey does not guarantee a device as our stock is limited. This does help us to gauge the need for supplementary units for students working at home.
Carpool Reminders

Drop off time will change whenever we return to school after Thanksgiving. New drop off time will be 7:25 am.
Please make sure your children have their mask on, have all needed items, and are ready to exit the vehicle when you stop.
Afternoon Carpool
If you do not have your child, please roll down your driver’s window and wave your number paper around to alert us so we can locate your student.
Turn on your flashers when you have all your children. This shows us you are ready.

Friday, 12:30 Dismissals Continue Through January
As stated in our September Sustainability Letter, we have evaluated the continuation of our Friday, 12:30 dismissals. At this time, we are going to continue the Friday, 12:30 dismissals through January when we will reevaluate the calendar/schedule again. As several Catholic Schools in the Archdiocese are adjusting their calendars during the Holiday season, we have currently decided to continue with our original school calendar with the addition of the Friday, 12:30 dismissals through January. Thank you for your understanding in this adjustment, and we will watch our circumstances and take into consideration recommendations from the CDC and Archdiocese should we need to make any further adjustments.
Morning Car pool times changing
Our morning carpool seems to be going great! With the colder weather approaching, we are now taking temperatures when students are entering the building. Since we have made such great improvements, we are going to move the drop off time from 7:15 to 7:25. This means our morning carpool will be from 7:25 - 7:50 each morning. We will start this adjusted time after Thanksgiving, on Monday, November 30.
