Dear Fontbonne Community,
Today is another disappointing and tough day amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Governor Charlie Baker has announced that all schools will stay closed for the remainder of this school year. The school building may be shut down, but Fontbonne is very much alive. Fontbonne will continue to work as a community during this challenging time to ensure the success and well-being of our students. We will get through this together!
As previously shared, our plan will be to stay the course and continue with our Distance Learning program through June. This schedule is located on our
COVID-19 webpage
, on Plus Portals and can be accessed

.
For seniors, the last day of classes, as planned, will be
Friday, May 8, 2020
. The virtual
Social Justice Fair
will take place from
May 11 - May 15, 2020
. There are seniors who will be invited to participate live during this week as well. We will be sending out information for all of you to attend the fair and support our seniors!
At this time, we are in the process of planning our Senior Week and re-envisioning events that were to take place in the month of May, including Prom. Once we have clear plans for the month of May, we will share them with our seniors and their families.
An official announcement has not been made by the MIAA, but the closing of school for the rest of the year means there will be NO spring athletics season. Fontbonne is heartbroken for our senior athletes who were looking forward to practicing, competing and making more memories with their teammates during this time. We thank you all for sharing your talents with us and for always representing Fontbonne as true women of courage made strong. Throughout this week we will be highlighting our senior spring athletes on our social media pages. Please join in celebrating them with us.
We will continue to offer our Distance Learning curriculum as well as special activities for students and families to participate. Activities like
Meditation with Myers
,
Walking Challenges
and
Ever-Widening Circles: Reflections with the Head of School
allow us to continue to grow as a community.
Our mission calls for us to love the dear neighbor without distinction. Right now, we are sending love and care to all of you - our dear neighbors. We are strength and hope for one another and I am grateful for your partnership in this mission of educating and inspiring remarkable women.
