A Moment for Mission
O Radiant Dawn,
splendor of eternal light, sun of justice:
come and shine on those
who dwell in darkness and in the shadow of death.
(O Antiphons for Advent)

A Note from the President |
|
From all of us at Ursuline Academy, blessings to each and every one of you this Christmas season. I hope that you have plenty of time for fun and relaxation with those you hold dear, and that all are safe.
As hard as it is to believe we are rolling into 2022 already, I’m looking forward to all of the good things to come. Thank you for your support in so many ways!

First Semester Exam Schedule-2021
Athletics for the Week
Dec. 17-24
Click here to view and check athletics times, updates, and information.
As of November 1, 2019, our policy for spring break is:
- Practices taking place Friday after 5 pm until Wednesday’s practice time (after 3 pm) will be excused practices. If you miss any practices outside of those times during break you will be required to sit out for 1.5 games. Also, keep in mind you will need to have 14 practices before your first game to be eligible to play per MSHSAA rules.
Safety Update - Dec. 13-17
This week, we had two new cases. Be assured that if your daughter could potentially be impacted by someone who tests positive, you will be informed as soon as possible. A reminder that quarantine means that students are not allowed to come to school, it also means they should not have contact with others beyond their family outside of school. We are not only trying to protect Ursuline but trying to be a part of the community solution as well.
- Numbers as they stand today (at least one dose of COVID vaccine):
- Students: 66.1%
- Co-workers: 92.%
