A message from Mrs. Marchiony regarding campus closure rules We miss seeing our students and families. We had no way of knowing when we dismissed for Spring Break on March 13 we would not return. We wish the year was ending as past years, with all of the traditional end-of-year celebrations. Unfortunately, our campus is closed. Even though some would like to come to campus, to take pictures or for a final good-bye with friends, we are not allowed to have you here.
During the week of May 26, you will be scheduled to pick up personal items from school. Please look for an email with the sign-up information. Please note - you will need to stay in your car while your items are brought to you.
Please be respectful of the guidance given to us by the state and diocese; do not come to campus at this time. If we have an opportunity to open campus after June 1, you will be notified.
