A Note from the Principals

As we begin our 2nd week of remote learning with your children, we have learned a few lessons and will be adjusting our delivery based on these lessons.  We cannot thank you enough for your patience and support and Ms. Aceves & I, as the principals, cannot thank our teachers enough for their efforts to continue the learning for your children. We asked so much of them in so little time & they delivered!

Here are some lessons: 
(1) Less is more with distance learning.  Meaningful Learning in Math, ELA, & Religion with week-long projects in Science and Social Studies is more realistic than daily activities loosely related to standards in 7 subjects. 

(2) Families & teachers need the flexibility to complete assignments but being online all day is not sustainable. 

(3) Children need to see their teachers and peers even via screen to learn, laugh, and pray. For those classes that weren't able to do this yet they will be starting this week. 

Given these lessons, your child's teacher will inform you (if they have not done so already) when they are available to speak and how they will be taking attendance. Please speak to your teacher if anything is unclear or your child is unable to check in for attendance during the day for any reason. There will be graded assignments that are required. Please do not let your student fall behind!

We are unsure how long we will be required to continue distance learning so we must continue on together as best we can.

How Can We Help?
If you are having trouble finding child care, getting meals, or paying tuition PLEASE email or call Mrs. Giron. WE CAN HELP! Reach out to other parents and lean on your community and faith. This type of situation is why we are all a part of a Catholic School community. We all want to help :) 
Below is a list of all Catholic schools serving meals to ANY child under the age of 18. Those highlighted are the closest to our school:


If you still need an internet-enabled device we have some available in the school office to check out. A parent will need to sign for the device. Please email Mrs. Giron to set up pick up time.


DON'T FORGET!!
CEF applications for financial aid
are available in the school office or can be emailed. If you require any reduced tuition next year you MUST complete the application and turn it into the school office before March 31st. There will be no extension for this as of now.

Many Blessings!
