Dear Prince Families:
Our faculty and staff remain highly motivated to ensure that our students continue to receive the spiritual, academic, emotional, social, and co-curricular benefits of a traditional school environment. The students have efficiently settled into our modified routines while our administrative team continues to work carefully and methodically in reviewing the changes published by the CDC (several since we started school three weeks ago), and systematically implement modifications consistent with the natural rhythm of our school. Students are learning, socializing, and returning to the familiar patterns inherent in a traditional school day, which are beneficial to their development and emotional health.
We will continue our robust disinfecting practices, social distancing protocols, etcetera, but our experience these first three weeks has proven our individual decision making during non-school hours has a direct impact on the health and welfare of our broader school community. Last week presented us with some new challenges, but our adherence to our procedures served us well. We will stay in a Safety Level III one more week with the goal of reducing to Safety Level II next week.
I hope you will join us this Friday night for our first home football game against Calvary Day’s Cavaliers, which starts at 7:30 p.m. For new families, this is a GREAT family-friendly school event, and you certainly don’t need to have a high school student to enjoy our Friday night football experience! Procedures designed to protect our health and safety at the game are forthcoming from Athletic Director Ricketts (look for the “hidden humor” in his upcoming video – it’s hilarious!).
With warm regards and in His service,
