Dear Parents and Guardians:
In accordance with Governor Holcomb’s announcement yesterday, Saint Joseph High School will remain on extended eLearning until May 1. Our extended eLearning schedule will remain in place:
Monday: WHITE
Tuesday: BLUE
Wednesday: WHITE
Thursday: BLUE
Friday: FLEX
There are no new assignments on Fridays, but teachers are available for extra help.
Students will need to complete their check-ins daily (including Fridays) to be counted present. These days will count as school days. Currently, our intent is to complete the school year on May 28 as originally scheduled. If that changes, we will let you know.
During this period, all Saint Joseph High School events, athletic practices and competitions (including club sports) and co-curricular activities are cancelled or postponed. We will be discussing options for the 2020 Senior Prom and will communicate with you about that soon. Part 2 of the ISTEP+ and the Biology ILearn have been cancelled. As you know, Bishop Rhoades has cancelled all in-person Masses in the Diocese of Fort Wayne South Bend until further notice.
Please continue to utilize our COVID-19 resource page on our website (
www.saintjoehigh.com
). We will continue to populate that site with helpful information for parents and students.
We will do our best to stay connected with parents and students throughout extended eLearning. This will include a principal’s announcement to students every Monday morning, daily prayer emailed to students as well as other spiritual resources, a weekly newsletter from Counseling on Wednesdays, and our
Soundings
parent e-newsletter every other Friday. Faculty and staff remain available via email, according to their office hours posted in Canvas. Contact information is located on the
www.saintjoehigh.com/virus
page.
Thank you for your continued patience and understanding as we navigate this situation. You will all remain in my thoughts and prayers daily. I continue to believe that we will get through this together and become stronger as a result. Stay healthy and positive, and let us know how we can help you.
God bless and Go, Indians!
