Dear St. Edward Families, 

The first day of the 2020-21 school year is almost here!  It has been wonderful to have the teachers and staff back into the buildings preparing their classrooms to welcome our students back to school.  The staff and I have been busy this week preparing for the return of our students.  I am excited for you to meet your new homeroom teacher today over Zoom and then on Tuesday/Wednesday in person.  I've spoken with Catholic educators whose schools opened this week, and the excitement was real!

For the health and safety of everyone in the St. Edward School Community, it is imperative that all families carefully read the Reopening Plan and follow the protocols-we are truly all in this together. 

This year, more than ever, requires a partnership between the School and its families. We will do our part to keep our students and staff safe while at school, and we need you to do your part to keep your families safe by following State and local guidelines. 

Each family returning in person needs to have a signed Parent Agreement on file in the office before the first day of school.  If you have returned your Parent Agreement, thank you!  If you have not had the opportunity to return the Agreement, please email the signed agreement to office@stedwardschool.com or drop it off in the school office today or Monday, August 24.  The Office is open 9:00 AM-2:00 PM.  Students will not be admitted to school on the first day unless the Agreement has been turned into the office.

Please email any last minute questions to office@stedwardschool.com.

St. Edward, pray for us!

Sincerely,
Mrs. Sara Lasica
Principal
St. Edward School needs your help!

We are looking for parents to assist staff to take temperatures and ask wellness questions of students arriving at school.  Volunteers need to be Virtus trained from last year.  With COVID restrictions, all volunteers need to wear masks while on campus, will assist a staff member to conduct wellness checks, and will be outside of the buildings at all times.  With extra help, we can make morning drop off smoother and quicker!

Summer Office Hours: Monday-Friday 9 AM-2 PM
Please call or email ahead of time as access to the buildings is limited.

Masks (required for all students) can be purchased through Schoolbelles, Lands' End, and Fantastic Lettering.  If you feel more comfortable purchasing masks through another vendor, please make sure that masks do not contain messages or images that would distract from the educational environment of the school or be contrary to our Catholic faith.  Masks may NOT have vents or exhalation ventilation per the CDC.
