During this current pandemic, the Office of Schools has worked tirelessly with administrators in ensuring best practices are in place and health and safety policies are being followed. All 21 of the Diocese’s Catholic schools developed reopening plans and welcomed students back into their buildings. The health and safety of students, staff and school communities is of the utmost importance as well as ensuring that students’ social, emotional, spiritual and educational needs are met during this challenging time. Faith formation is the root of Catholic education and all of the schools continue to celebrate Mass, pray daily and find ways to help students grow closer to Jesus.
As the schools did this past spring, when quickly shifting to remote learning, they have continued to quickly adapt, adjust and address the needs of their individual school communities. Many schools have continued to offer online options for students. Some schools purchased extra supplies including new laptops and upgraded school building technology to assist students in remote learning.
The 2020-2021 School Year will be one for the history books as schools implement policies and protocols during the pandemic. Students continue to have opportunities to grow in faith, do homework outside with weather permitting or join their classmates remotely from their homes.
