Adoration

During the season of Lent, we will be having Adoration in the PCA Chapel every Tuesday after our Children's Mass from 10:30-2:00. Our students will be at Adoration, but we welcome parents to join in this special time as well. As we want to be sure there is always someone in the Chapel during Adoration, please use this Sign-Up Genius to choose an open time slot to spend time with the Blessed Sacrament.

Continued prayers!

Please continue praying for Mrs. Earp and Ms. Cashin!

Mrs. Earp received some great news on Friday! She received her pathology results, and they were able to get all the cancer - her margins are clean!! She believes it was because of all the prayers! She asked me to express how grateful she is for your continued prayers.

COVID reminders

If your child tests positive for COVID, please notify me immediately via email (ddossantos@pcapvb.org).

Anyone who tests positive must stay at home for 5 full days before returning to school on Day 6, provided that there has been no fever for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medicines and that other symptoms are improving. (Please note that the first day of symptoms is considered Day 0.)

Siblings of positive cases may continue coming to school as long as they are not exhibiting ANY symptoms. Please use good judgment when sending siblings to school based on the amount of exposure they have had with the positive sibling.
