Dear Parents-
Northern Virginia remains in Phase Two of the reopening plan. Wear your mask and keep your distance!
Book return
is scheduled for Wednesday,
June 17 and Thursday, June 18 from 9:00AM-11:00AM both mornings.
Please
bag up any materials, library books, and textbooks that you have at home that
need to be returned to SJS
. Each child should put his or her materials, library books, and textbooks into the bag, seal up the bag, write YOUR NAME, grade and teacher on the bag. Each child needs his or her OWN BAG, so that materials can be accurately inventoried and returned to the proper classroom.
For the book drop-off, please follow the morning carpool route, and drop-off at the gym door.
At this time, please note that student items left behind in classrooms and lockers are still not accessible, and these will be available at a later date. Also, yearbooks are not yet available. With reduced office hours, books are not inventoried or labeled.
Mrs. Emma Lauderback Swehla
resigned her position as instructional assistant in second grade. Mrs. Swehla brought much joy, and a deep faith to her practice and we will miss her greatly. Mrs. Swehla plans to pursue interests outside of education. Please keep Mrs. Swehla in your prayers as she takes on new adventures.
We also say good-bye to
Mrs. Lisa Schultz
who resigned her position as kindergarten aide, a position she held for two years, and where she made significant contributions to the instructional team. Mrs. Schultz is taking some family time, but we will continue to see her as a volunteer and parent in our community! Please keep Mrs. Schultz in your prayers as well.
Several weeks ago, parents were invited to participate in a survey sponsored by the Office of Catholic Schools concerning the impact of distance learning on your families. Results of the survey were shared with individual schools and are available to
you here.
I previously announced the 2020-2021 school year is currently scheduled to start on Wednesday, August 26, 8:00AM-11:30AM. Afternoon Extended Day will be available until 3:00PM. Thursday, August 27 and Friday, August 28 are scheduled as whole days of school, 8:00AM-3:15PM. No other dates are set, and I thank you for your patience as we cautiously add to the calendar.
I pray for the health and safety of our community. If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.
Welcome one another....as Christ welcomed you!
