Dear Fontbonne Community,
In accordance with Governor Charlie Baker’s order for social distancing and school closing, Fontbonne will continue distance learning through
Tuesday, April 7th
. This evening, the Governor ordered the shutdown of ALL schools in Massachusetts for three weeks, beginning this
Tuesday, March 17th
. Tomorrow
Monday, March 16th
between the hours of
8am-3pm
, Fontbonne school building will be open if any student needs to pick up necessary materials left inside the building.
Our plan remains in place to shift to distance learning this coming
Tuesday, March 17th
. We are confident this emergency virtual teaching plan ensures academic operations continue successfully during this time period. As previously communicated, students are to access academic work via PlusPortals every day during their scheduled class period. Students will be held accountable and attendance will be noted daily through an online check-in process. Academic policies for distance learning will be followed. These guidelines were shared in a separate email sent on Friday. You’ll find that document
HERE
. You will now also be able to find any updates and communications regarding the COVID-19 pandemic on our website:
www.fontbonneacademy.org/covid-19-pandemic
. All
teachers, support staff, and administration will be available via email during this school closure period. Please reach out as needed.
As a community of Faith, we pray for all of our families during this time. If any family in our community is in need of any assistance during this closure, please reach out to Ms. Spignesi at
mspignesi@fontbonneboston.org
. Fontbonne is here to help and keep us all safe and properly taken care of during these uncertain times.
As women of courage it is our responsibility to ourselves and each other to follow the guidelines put in place in respect to social distancing. The goal of social distancing is to reduce contact between people to help curb the spread of infections. This means avoiding getting together with people outside your immediate family and maintaining distance - approximately 6 feet from one another when out in public.
