May is almost here and the weather is starting to warm up. I hope we see other positive changes that allow our country, state, and school to open things up and start on the track of getting things back to normal. Thank you to everyone who has done their part to keep us safe and to slow/stop the spread of the virus.
I address some commonly asked questions below. Please email me if you have any other questions or concerns.
Thank you to the students and parents who took the time to respond to the Form I sent earlier this week. Sorry to those who had issues using the Form. I'm not sure what the issue was with it. Results I have received are summarized below.
Here are some new things:
- On April 28 at 2:00, Katie Prejean McGrady (Ave Maria Press) is hosting a webinar on helping students through social distancing. You can register for the webinar here: https://bit.ly/3bt94qE.
- Education Week (requires registration) started a blog with psychologist Angela Duckworth "to offer actionable and accessible psychological insight for educators and families to help support our young people during this current crisis." The blog can be found here: https://bit.ly/3cCUGfI.
- Regina teachers created an amazing and inspiring video for our students. It is included below.
The month of May is also the month of Mary. I found an article online titled "Ten Ways to Celebrate May, the Month of Mary." Where these "Ten Ways" are not the only ways to honor Mary, they give you at least a good start. The article is given below and here.
I pray that all of you have a blessed May.
Sincerely,
Glenn Plummer

CDC Warning
Warning: Criminals Found Posing as CDC Representatives to Steal Money and Information
CDC is warning the general public of a new type of phone and phishing scam by criminals posing as CDC representatives, often requesting donations. According to CDC, most of these fraudulent activities are being conducted by phone, utilizing software to "spoof" phone calls to make them appear as if they are coming from phone numbers that may look familiar. CDC advises consumers to avoid answering calls from numbers they do not recognize, and to avoid sharing personal information over the phone. In addition, CDC notes that no federal agency will request donations from the general public. Suspicious phone calls may be reported to the Federal Communications Commission. In addition, some criminals are impersonating government officials in emails to facilitate phishing attacks. These emails contain malicious attachments or links that can be used to gain control over computer systems and to steal information. Consumers are advised to stay vigilant and to follow good security practices to reduce the likelihood of falling victim to an attack.
