Central Catholic Families,

I hope this email finds you and your family in good health.  Please read the following updates below.

Remote Learning Extended through April 30
The Office of Catholic Schools announced that all diocesan schools will remain closed through April 30, 2020. We will not have remote learning on Good Friday (April 10, 2020) and Easter Monday (April 13, 2020).

Virtual Orientation for Parents
We will host a virtual orientation for parents to better understand our remote learning platform in Google Classroom.  We will also address questions regarding attendance, updated grading policies for remote learning and talk about our plans to address the very real possibility of our students missing important events such as prom, senior night for band, choir and sports, etc.  

This webinar will be live on Wednesday, April 8 at 7pm.  We will also record this webinar for families who cannot view it live.  More information, including the link to our webinar, will follow.

Holy Week
Father Baker created this video to offer spiritual guidance and resources for Holy Week.  Know that we continue to keep each of you and your families in our prayers, especially in the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.  

Parent & Student Hotline
In order to serve as a resource for parents and students, Mr. Arnolts, Mrs. Eppley and Mrs. Turner will be hosting office hours to answer questions and assist with any issues that may arise during this time of remote learning.  Starting Monday, April 6, they will be available during the following office hours on days when remote learning is in session:

  • Monday - Mrs. Turner (10-11:30 a.m.)
  • Tuesday - Mr. Arnolts (6-7:30 p.m.)
  • Wednesday - Mr. Arnolts  (9-10:30 a.m.), Mrs. Eppley (6-7:30p.m.)
  • Thursday - Mrs. Turner (6-7:30 p.m.)
  • Friday - Mrs. Eppley (11:30 a.m.-1 p.m.)

Click here to sign up to receive a phone call during this time.  We will contact people based on who submitted the request first.  If we receive a high volume of requests we may not be able to contact everyone during the requested time, however we will respond to requests as soon as possible.

Counselor's Corner
Starting next week, our counselors will be sending emails to our families twice a month containing information and resources that will be helpful for our families as we transition to remote learning.  Topics will include ideas or best practices for helping students stay active and focused at home, how to deal with stress, and a variety of other resources to help with social-emotional support.
