Dear Parents and Guardians,

We just received notice from the San Mateo County Office of Education that all public schools in the six bay area counties will remain closed through the remainder of the school year. Notre Dame Belmont will follow this order and continue with the synchronous online learning platform through the end of May. I know we all hoped for a different outcome, but we must continue to stay the course and remain safely at home.

In light of this announcement, Notre Dame will be proceeding with a Virtual Prayer Service and Graduation to honor our graduating Class of 2020. When we have the clearance to return to campus, we will plan a Senior Celebration Day and will look for other options to host a Graduation celebration. We are also planning a Welcome BBQ in August. 

Tomorrow begins a much deserved Easter break when students will have an opportunity to catch up on any missing work, read a book, or simply enjoy the beautiful weather that is predicted. There are several fun online events being planned as a way to engage with friends. Keep checking the NDB Student Dashboard.

Notre Dame Belmont is committed to partnering with you and providing the best educational environment possible. We will continue to communicate any updates and changes as they occur. We are available by email and welcome your suggestions. Thank you for your support of the Notre Dame Community.

May you have a blessed Easter, Passover, and family time together.

In Notre Dame,

Maryann Osmond
