During the Governor's press conference today we learned that due to the COVID-19 Virus all Ohio schools will have a mandated closure for three weeks.Under the direction of the Diocese of Toledo as well as the Ohio Department of Education, we too will be required to follow this mandate.  Beginning Monday 3/16/20 and continuing through April 3rd, we will be closed.  We will reopen on 4/6/20 and resume classes as normal.

We will be assembling packets for students to complete at home during the time they will be off.  If your child is not in school tomorrow, please let us know if you are able to stop by and pick it up.  There will also be a resource page on our website soon to help with learning at home.  Stay tuned to Facebook and you may find a teacher
                                             reading a story daily!
