View this email in your browser A Note from the Principals I hope you all had a fun spirit week!  It was so great to see everyone at the parade & your pictures all week ;) I added a few of them to this newsletter below. If you were not able to join us for our parent zoom, here are the key takeaways from our parent meeting on Thursday, April 23: as of now there is no set date to resume classes on campus currently we are working out different plans for events such as graduation, carnival (for now hold on to your tickets), potential summer school ...if you have any ideas feel free to send them our way...no decisions are being made for now as we are in the planning stage Office will be open Mondays & Thursdays from 9am-12pm to assist parents who need support with internet enabled devices (ipads), tuition payments, and  re-register for 2020-2021 school year digital agreements were emailed to parents who applied for financial aid We urge everyone intending to return for the 2020-2021 school year to re-register as soon as possible. Budget information is due at the archdiocese and staffing decisions will need to be made based on number of students enrolled. We would love to have everyone back, please reach out if you need assistance. We are here to help! A note from the diocese regarding email scams:  The Archdiocese, including its priests, principals, and ACC staff members, will not send you an e-mail or text message asking for gift cards to respond to urgent situations (such as needing to care for a parishioner suffering from cancer).  If you have any questions about the validity of the request, please call the purported sender at the parish or school’s published phone number.  Do not call a number included in the suspicious e-mail, since it could go to the person perpetrating the fraud. Our Providence Healthcare partners sent us these flyers about COVID-19 and resources around the community. Take a look:  ENGLISH               SPANISH 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 :)  Crisis Response Guide for the financially vulnerable Below is a list of all Catholic schools serving meals to ANY child under the age of 18 every weekday.
