Principal Newsletter
From the Desk of Mrs. Riley
January 6, 2022
Dear Parents,
Happy New Year! May God's richest blessings, truest joys, constant love, tender guidance, unfailing protection and calming peace be yours this coming year.
As we enter this new year and come back to school, we continue to deal with Covid and its impact on our community. At this time, we have over 25 cases of positive or exposed students and staff. I did not send out a letter due to the large volume that was involved. Beginning today, I will resume sending the Covid update letters.
As explained in my previous letter, we are now only requiring a five day quarantine beginning from the date of a positive result. Only students who test positive will be offered the virtual platform. Work will be sent home for those students who are exposed. Please understand that it is very difficult for teachers to have both in person and virtual learners.
Below are important school updates:
- In the event that school is closed tomorrow due to snow, lessons will be asynchronous. Teachers in Grades K - 8 will have assignments posted to their classroom websites and/or Google classroom.
- Please see below for important calendar changes regarding Quizzo and the Sweetheart Dance.
- School will be closed on Friday, January 14th and Monday, January 17th for the MLK holiday.
Thank you for your constant support and prayers for our school. I encourage you to continue to support our work as we advance our mission to provide a transformative education steeped in academics and faith to our deserving students. There is no greater investment for forming our future saints than a Catholic education!
Please carefully review this week's newsletter for many reminders and updates. We thank you for entrusting your children to us and for the sacrifices you make each day to send your child(ren) to Our Lady of Good Counsel Catholic School.
God's peace,
Mrs. Barbara Riley
Principal
