Virtual School Attendance
It is extremely important for parents to be submitting daily attendance for their Child(ren) via the attendance link located on our website’s Virtual Learning tab. The link can also be found on your child’s grade level Educator Page. Daily attendance reporting is mandated by the Florida Department of Education and the Diocese of St. Petersburg. Please make a note to do this first thing each school day. Faculty and staff will be calling those who do not submit daily attendance by 2 p.m. Thank you in advance for your support and cooperation.

Distant Learning Contingency Plan
Mother Teresa of Calcutta’s Distant Learning Contingency Plan assists faculty and staff with connecting with students and parents during the time students are unable to attend classes on campus due to the Coronavirus pandemic. This plan went into effect on 3/18/20 and will continue until 5/1/20 or if needed, for the remainder of the school year. The resources listed on this plan assist faculty with the shift from face-to-face instruction to an online environment. The ultimate goal is to ensure students learning despite the inability to physically be on campus.
