Central Catholic Families,
Thank you for your continued support during this challenging time. We received valuable feedback from the Remote Learning Trial survey we sent last week and are working to update our plans with this information. Please know of our ongoing efforts to ensure our students continue to receive the best quality instruction we can provide under these circumstances.
Below you will find further guidance we received from the Office of Catholic Schools (OCS) regarding an extended closure date and remote learning plans. Click

to read a memo from Dr. Sharon Weiss containing this information.
Per Bishop Jenky and the Office of Catholic Schools, all diocesan schools:
- will remain closed through Easter Monday in observance of Holy Week and the Triduum. The earliest possible return date at this time will be Tuesday, April 14.
- will implement remote learning instruction starting Tuesday, March 31.
- Further instructions regarding extended closure or a return to school on Tuesday, April 14 will be communicated as we receive updates from the Governor, ISBE and OCS.
- will remain closed to school personnel through at least March 30.
The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) is continuing to plan for the days beyond March 30. They have a team working to provide recommendations and guidelines about instruction and grading in a remote learning environment. We expect to receive this information by the end of this week.
After reviewing these recommendations, we will provide our students, parents and teachers with guidelines on how Central Catholic will proceed with our extended time of remote learning.
Please know that I am praying daily for you and your family. Our faculty and staff miss our students and we look forward to the day when we see them in our halls again.
