Dear Calvary Parents,
We are nearing Thanksgiving break, and we have so much for which to be thankful for. We have brought our students back to school, and they are doing really well under these conditions. We are keeping ourselves sanitized and practicing social distancing, and thus far have had no cases of COVID-19 in our school. Having said that, we are experiencing a change in weather, and have a number of our students out with colds, and other annual bugs. In order to keep us safe, I want to have a deep cleaning and sanitizing of our building next week. In order to do this properly, we are extending our Thanksgiving break for the students.
The school will be closed for in-person instruction Monday and Tuesday, November 23-24. We will be out for Thanksgiving Break, November 25-27. We will return on Monday, November 30 for normal operation. The Preschool and Elementary will be working hard this week to have their academics completed by Friday so they will not have assignments next week. The Middle/High School will continue to have assignments virtually on Monday and Tuesday. I know this may cause some hardship for parents, but I feel that this is the best way for us to keep well as we head toward the Christmas break.
Thank you for all your support, and cooperation during this difficult time. We have tried to make our year as normal as possible for our students, and they have done so well to keep us safe. Please remember that your child should not come to school if they are having ANY FLU LIKE SYMPTOMS. Also, if your child has COVID, or has been around someone diagnosed with COVID, or is having COVID symptoms, they should not return to school until 14 days after the last contact with that person. While they are out for sickness they can learn through remote learning until they can return to school. Your teachers will help with that. Remember; do not send a sick child to school. If they are not feeling well, please keep them home.
Please pray for one another as we look forward to the day when all this is behind us.
Thank you. May God bless you and your family this Thanksgiving season.
