Follow the steps below to learn...No Matter What!!
Step 0: Build a Regular Routine
Mask Usage: Our virtual learning time will fly by and in-person will be phasing in September. Over the next weeks of virtual learning, if you have not already, get your student used to wearing a mask for extended periods of time and practice proper mask usage. A special video featuring Dragon SUPERSTARS will show proper usage during Back to School Meet the Teacher Night!
Step 1: Review Virtual Learning Schedule
Immediately after students will log in into their teacher's Zoom for a full day of learning. Students must check into the beginning of class and end of class.
END 3:15PM-3:30PM: At 3:15pm each day, all students will log into closing day ceremony for prayer and fun!

Step 6: Take a deep breath and PRAY with us!
Join us in our in-service prayer--patiently trusting in the slow work of God.
PATIENT TRUST
Above all, trust in the slow work of God.
We are quite naturally impatient in everything to reach the end without delay.
We should like to skip the intermediate stages.
We are impatient of being on the way to something unknown, something new.
And yet it is the law of all progress
that it is made by passing through some stages of instability—
and that it may take a very long time.
And so I think it is with you;
your ideas mature gradually—let them grow,
let them shape themselves, without undue haste.
Don’t try to force them on,
as though you could be today what time
(that is to say, grace and circumstances acting on your own goodwill)
will make of you tomorrow.
Only God could say what this new spirit
gradually forming within you will be.
Give Our Lord the benefit of believing
that his hand is leading you,
and accept the anxiety of feeling yourself
in suspense and incomplete.
Prayer of Teilhard de Chardin
Saint Monica, PRAY FOR US!!!
We are St. Monica's Dragons!
