Good evening Holy Name Families,

I am hoping all of our Holy Name Families have been enjoying their Summer vacation! Even though school finished for us, we have not stopped with our professional development and readiness for the Fall!

I am happy to announce that I have put together an amazing group of teachers and staff who will have been working on the Reopening Task Force and working on the Infection Mitigation Plan. The process is lengthy and will comply with all of the San Francisco Health Department and the Department of Catholic School protocols. We have taken many of the questions and concerns from the Family Survey into consideration regarding options. Ultimately, the Task Force's goal is to create a safe space for your children and the teachers for the Fall. Plans are still being finalized, but we hope to have a Plan of Action ready by the end of July.

Some of these discussions regarding the Fall have had some repercussions on the timing of certain events. So, the school calendar and calendar of events have been updated (see below). Please discard/disregard all previous copies.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email me at mmiller@holynamesf.com or call the school office. We are here for you always!

Michael Miller, Principal
"Most sacred heart of Jesus, I place my trust in thee."
