Principal's Message

Dear St. George Families,

We have had an extremely successful 1^st quarter and I want to take this opportunity to express my deep appreciation for everyone who contributed to its success. I am so proud of and thankful for our staff who have worked tirelessly to provide a safe and healthy environment here at St. George. They have adapted to new class schedules, new roles and work diligently to keep students engaged in learning while safe at school. They spend many hours outside of the workday, helping students who are quarantined by providing recorded lessons and keeping track of missed assignments and make-up work. They have done all of this and so much more while still maintaining the academic excellence that St. George is known for. I am grateful for our students’ resiliency. They also have adapted to the new procedures and are well adjusted to the new routines of wearing masks, social distancing and washing hands. They work hard each day, play hard each day and have shown how truly Christ-like they are by making new friends in their homeroom and forming bonds that might not have been made before. I am appreciative of the parents who have shown and expressed their support for the work that was done to open school safely so children can learn and play. It truly took the whole community working together to be as successful as we have been this 1st quarter.

Over the course of the last 10 weeks, we have only recorded a total of 11 positive COVID cases among students on our campus. We have had 0 positive COVID cases with teachers. This is remarkable considering we have over 1300 people on our campus every day. Most importantly though, we have not documented any spread of the virus on our campus. That is a testament to what we are doing. We promised to provide a safe environment for all students, staff and families and that is what we have done. We have also learned, throughout the 1^st quarter, how to cope and function within the COVID guidelines and teachers have learned how to adapt these guidelines to their specific grade. Each grade level has made adjustments that still follow the COVID guidelines, but also allow for a bit more flexibility. This looks different at different grade levels, but some examples are using the playground equipment, picking up lunches from the cafeteria, holding classes outside, spirit rally, increased alternating mask breaks, and classes hosting morning assembly to name a few. I hope to continue to do this as we move through the 2^nd quarter.

We do not know what the future holds, but I can tell you that our campus is vibrant and joyous. As I walked campus last week, I was overjoyed to see every possible space inside and outside filled with students learning, eating, playing and exercising. There is an energy at St. George, and I thank our teachers, staff, students and parents for making this possible. We all are making sacrifices for the betterment of the whole and I hope that the lessons we will learn from this experience will make us stronger as a school community and as individuals. We should all be proud of how far we have come and I look forward to each and every day that we are able to gather as a school community to learn, laugh and play.
