March 12th - St. Cecilia COVID-19 Update #2
Dear Parents,
Thank you all for your support and understanding with these rapidly evolving circumstances and our communication efforts. It was my intention to send this full text below via IRIS Alert phone call, however the IRIS system is overwhelmed by high volume of use by many other schools.
Today, after working hard to ensure our communication was comprehensive and our decision in line with local authorities, we communicated our plans to remain open. Later this evening we learned that Spring Branch ISD, in spite of the, recommendations of Harris County officials closed schools for tomorrow, Friday March 13.
As our handbook states, we follow the lead of Spring Branch Independent School District when canceling classes for emergencies, inclement weather, or other substantial disturbances. Therefore, St. Cecilia Catholic School will suspend classes for tomorrow, Friday March 13.
Today, in anticipation, we asked teachers to send home any books, supplies and materials students may need if we need to implement our Continuity of Learning Plan. If your child was not able to bring home the materials he or she needed, we will be open from 7:30 AM to 9:00 AM for students to gather those materials from their classrooms.
All teachers should report to school as usual tomorrow for teacher in-service as we finalize the details of our Continuity of Learning Plan.
As of tonight, we are still planning on resuming classes on Monday, March 23. Please pay close attention to updates from the school as the situation is evolving quickly and updates will be forthcoming.
Lord Jesus, grant us peace, compassion and health as we pray for our families, our students, and our community. Amen. And I wish you all a wonderful Spring Break.
