Gratitude to Families
Thank you all for your patience with us as many of our administrative team and main office staff have been out taking some much needed vacation time this summer after the very busy and intense year with the coronavirus and all its implications. If you had trouble reaching us or experienced delays in communication, please accept our apologies. Re-energized from summer break, we’re excited for another school year, and we’re grateful for all of you as well as our partnership in forming Catholic hearts and minds in faith, reason, and virtue!

2021-22 COVID-19 Protocols
We are in the process of reviewing the Archdiocesan recommendations and requirements for our protocols for the 2021-22 school year that we received last week. As we have communicated before, our plan remains to reopen in Phase 5 of our reopening document, albeit slightly modified due to the ongoing presence of Coronavirus variants. At this point, we can say that wearing face coverings (or not) will not be required during the academic day, but rather that decision will be left to the discretion of each student’s parents. Likewise, faculty and staff will be allowed to determine whether they will wear face coverings. We will work to ensure that anyone who chooses to wear (or not to wear) a face covering will not be belittled, ostracized, or otherwise poorly treated—in all cases, the choice will be respected! We will be offering a full communication on Monday, 8/16, regarding additional adjustments (e.g., how we will treat illnesses and testing) we will make to our Phase 5 reopening plan for the upcoming school year. Once again, let us remain unified as a community in Christ as we face these ongoing challenges; please pray for a unified community!

Got Instruments?
The Saint Agnes band program has experienced an increase in the number of elementary students taking band and is in need of used instruments that can be refurbished and rented to our young band students at a low cost. Perhaps you had a student who no longer takes band and have a band instrument that they are no longer using. The school will supply you with a document for tax purposes for any donation.

K-6 Uniform Closet
We are in need of more shoes and belts for our K-6 grade uniform closet. It is helpful to have extras on hand for students to borrow when they forget to wear a belt or bring their shoes in the winter. Do you have any gently used uniform shoes or belts that your child has outgrown? These items can be placed in the uniform cabinet by Mr. Adkins’ office along with borrowed belts and shoes that have not been returned yet. Thank you! Questions, contact Rose Coleman.
