Just a reminder that you are invited to join us for Stations of the Cross on Wednesday afternoons at 2:30pm during Lent. Meditating on the Stations reminds us of God’s enormous love for each of us. Please also remember that it is not possible to dismiss students from the church for early release. Please plan accordingly if you need your child released from school early.

There are no cases of COVID-19 infection in Virginia and the Virginia Health Departments do not recommend school closures at this time.

Thank you to all the parents that proactively keep their sick children home giving them time to fully recover. However, we are still seeing sick children sent back to school too early in their recovery, only for them to be out sick again the next day. It is important for the recovery of your sick child to give them the time needed to fully recover before sending them back since this benefits them but most especially it exposes the rest of their class & school mates to the illness that your child is sick with. We can clean and disinfect the school as best as we can, but if children are medicated to mask their symptoms and sent to school sick, it will be a fruitless exercise. We understand that it is very inconvenient for some working parents but please out of charity we ask that you consider your child's health and that of their classmates.
