Updates from the Principal
We had another week with zero positive test results from our Monday and Wednesday testing, but we did have to contact trace and quarantine a few students because of out-of-state travel with youth sports. Reminder: It is difficult to track student activities when they are off-campus and participating in non-Carondelet events. If students travel and are not able to distance and mask per CDPH guidelines, they should use the remote learning option and stay away from practices for 7 days with a test on days 3-4-5 of your return, per County Health guidelines.
Carondelet and De La Salle administrations have been working on plans for the coming 2021-22 school year. You will receive a great deal more information in the coming weeks, but based on current California Department of Public Health guidance, both Carondelet and De La Salle plan to be back in school full time this fall. There will be no flex days or virtual class options for next year, as students will be expected to be on campus every day. We look forward to welcoming everyone back to campus.
As this school year comes to a close, many important events and occasions remain, including finals and AP testing, sports competitions, awards celebrations, Baccalaureate Mass, Graduation, etc. Please stay vigilant with CDC guidance so that our community can enjoy and participate in these culminating events.
We are very much looking forward to celebrating our wonderful Class of 2021 in the coming weeks, such an amazing group of young women. Ms. Lettire is sharing that information and will continue to provide updates.
Kevin Cushing, Principal

Battle of the Boldest
If fortune favors the bold, our students are the favorites. This week, classes competed against one another in four square, jeopardy, relay races, and dodgeball to take home the title of the BOLDEST. All our students shined brave and bold this week, but this year the class of '21 came to win and took home the prize!

Parking Permits
Class-specific parking form requests are available. On-campus parking is a privilege for many of our juniors and seniors. This is not a first-come, first-served application process. All applications before the deadline will be considered. Unfortunately, we will not be able to accommodate all of our driving students.
Morning shuttle registration now open
Morning shuttle service is expected to resume at the beginning of the 2021-22 school year. Morning shuttle service is filled on a first-come, first-served basis at $500 per semester with communal pick-up locations in Livermore, Pleasanton, and Danville. Registration is now open to Carondelet students for the 2021-22 school year.
Pay it Forward: Senior uniform donations
All senior students are encouraged to donate their used uniform pieces and spirit wear starting this week, between May 3-14 to Ms. Main's office. All clothing must be clean and in good condition, bagged, and labeled with the student’s first and last name.
Uniform donations will be sold at our “Second Time Around” sale before the 2021-22 school year, and proceeds benefiting the Parent Association. Questions? Please contact Susan Smith.

COVID Testing
Going forward, only indoor-sport athletes will be required to get weekly tests. We are still highly encouraging outdoor sports to test as well, but it is not mandatory.
Carondelet offers COVID testing every Monday and Wednesday. No appointment is necessary for Monday tests, but you must bring these forms, filled out and signed, along with a copy of your insurance card. Appointments are required for Wednesday tests.
Please refer to our athletics website for detailed information. For any questions please reach out to Jessica Rollins.
