Dear Parents,
PLEASE read the Weekly.
We know that there is a lot of information each week…that is intentional. As part of our strategic plan, we try to limit the number of school communications each week and put all of the information in one place. As the activities at the end of the year increase, there is more and more information to share. Please carve out a few minutes each weekend to read through this important communication.
As we move toward the end of this Holy Season, we are called to come to a closer relationship with Jesus and the Church. Throughout the Lenten season we have offered the sacrament of Confession to the school children and to the parish community. Please read this special invitation from Fr. Foley to participate in reconciliation on Sunday afternoon.
We are closely monitoring the rise in COVID cases in our community. Currently we are recommending, not requiring, that all students and staff test before returning to school after Easter break. We have a limited supply of tests that we can send home with your child. To request a test please fill out this form. You do NOT need to submit your child’s test result to the Health Room unless the result is positive. If your child receives a positive result please send an email to healthroom@blessedsacramentdc.org and keep your child home from school. Thank you for your continued cooperation.
Tuition will be increased by 3% for next year. This is our typical percent increase. More detailed tuition information will be sent out Monday in a separate email. (I am aware this contradicts trying to send everything in one communication but this is a special case.)
Please see the Weekly for information about the Greg Gannon Canned Food Drive BABY DRIVE.
Faithfully,
Chris Kelly
