A Moment for Mission
Never fail to render your neighbor the services that might depend on you.

A Note from the President |
|
While we really “never say goodbye,” to Ursuline graduates, we did begin the “lasts” for the seniors yesterday with the celebration of our final liturgy of the year. It doesn’t seem possible that this class, who began their time at Ursuline the same year that I did, are already graduating! The Junior, Sophomore, and Freshman classes shared their appreciation of the Seniors’ leadership through a few very strange years and each gave a blessing over this special class. All of us here - students and coworkers - are making sure that their last few weeks at UA are memorable. And Chef Marie has added her special touch by accommodating the seniors’ special requests for huge chocolate chip cookies, pudding parfaits, and crab rangoon!!!
Spring is always an exciting time at Ursuline and this one feels so … normal. I hope you have the chance to take it in.

Safety Update - April 25-29
This week we had no 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: 72.00%
- Co-workers: 93.8%
