Updates to Return To School Plan as of August 7th |
Athletics - families who choose the remote option for their students can still have their students participate in athletics even if they are not on campus during the school day.
Middle School Dress Code - 6th, 7th, & 8th grade students do not need to wear Sperry type shoes - sneakers may be worn every day as part of the daily school uniform. As a point of clarification - this includes Mass days. While all students will wear Mass attire, middle school students are not required to wear Sperry type shoes for Mass days. Please note: this is an update to our originally published plan from July.

The annual HOV and Tag Requests Carpool Survey was communicated on Thursday, August 13th. The survey links will remain open until August 19th. Click HERE for email communication and survey links.
Wondering if you should respond to one of these surveys? New Families do NOT need to respond to the Carpool Tag Request Survey but may request HOV status if they have carpool that meets HOV status.
You should complete the HOV carpool survey only if:
You are applying for HOV 2020-2021. Tags are issued on a first come, first serve basis. All 5+ riders names need to be listed at the time of application. If you have a family of 5+ at Saint Cecilia Catholic School, you still must respond to the HOV survey to confirm your spot and receive your tags. You will be notified of your HOV status prior to the first day of school. Note: ONLY 1 application via the survey per HOV group. Auction HOV does NOT need to respond to the survey, your tags will be sent home the first week of school with your Oldest/Only.
You should complete the Tag Request carpool survey if:
1. You need to replace lost, damaged, or worn tags.
2. You need additional tags due to changes in your carpool routine, i.e. You have another family member picking up your child on occasion.
3. You will be sharing a carpool regularly with another family (but are NOT applying for HOV).
Click HERE for email communication and survey links.
If you still have questions, please contact Carpool.
Thanks, St. Cecilia Catholic School Carpool Administrators

Our first Parent-Teacher conferences of the year will be scheduled from September 1st - 3rd. All of the conferences will take place virtually, and parents will be given the opportunity to sign up for a specific 10-15 minute time slot. All parents are expected to have a Hopes and Fears Conference with each of their child(ren)’s teacher(s). Students do not need to attend the Hopes and Fears Conference, but are always welcome.

The Teacher’s responsibility in these meetings is to listen, take notes, and learn as much as possible about each student. After class lists are distributed on August 24, homeroom teachers will be reaching out to families to schedule the virtual Hopes & Fears Conferences. |
