Dear St. Serra Parents,
I hope that everybody enjoyed their Easter Break with some fun, relaxation and rest. As we begin our final journey toward the end of the school year, we have many things to look forward to. Our Seasons Tuition Assistance Luncheon will be held on April 25 followed by our Golf Classic, to be held on May 20. We also welcome back our Hot Lunch program with Choicelunch starting this week and look forward to some volunteer opportunities for our parents to be on campus. There will be many additional happenings at our school and we will communicate those to you in a timely manner. We must continue working together in order for your children to benefit from all of the great things St. Serra has to offer. We will continue to give our very best effort for that to happen.
Always Striving,
Tim Tolzda
Sr. Principal

Out of State Travel for Easter Break |
In December 2020, St. Serra received a directive from the Diocese of Orange that stated: Students and families who travel out of state can transition to distance learning for 14 days (now 10 days) upon their return or are requested to provide a negative COVID-19 test result for re-entry to campus. While this directive does apply to the Holidays, St. Serra is committed to remaining open for in-person instruction so as a result, we will continue to follow this directive for all out of state travel from now through the end of the 2020-2021 school year. The health and safety of our students and staff are our top priority. Keeping the school open requires all of us to be healthy in order to continue in-person learning here at St. Serra. Please see message from the Diocese of Orange.
