Dear St. Louis Families,
Happy Summer! I hope you are finding time for lots of fun and exciting adventures with your children. I have always loved my time with my own children at the beach, hiking trails, riding bikes, and enjoying one another as well as the slower pace of summer. I wanted to provide a brief update for you and for your planning as I know you have seen the current plans from Fairfax County Public Schools for reopening. It certainly invites lots of questions as we enter Phase 3 beginning July 1st in our state.
St. Louis is affiliated with the Diocese of Arlington and is accredited by the Virginia Catholic Education Association (VCEA) which is governed by the Virginia Council on Private Education (VCPE). We take our directives from the Office of Catholic Schools who adheres to the VCPE guidance. Know that I am working closely with the Office of Catholic Schools and other area principals to formulate our plans for reopening in accordance with state guidelines. Our plan is focusing on getting our students in the building as many days as we can do so safely and within the guidelines presented by the CDC and the state. I am working hard to get you the information as soon as possible. Look for those plans to be announced mid-July, but please understand that information changes daily, and we will always seek to monitor and evaluate plans with the most current information.
I hope you continue to be safe, healthy, and well!
God Bless,
Anne M. Dyke
Principal
