Happy Advent Falcons!
I hope you had a blessed Thanksgiving!

At-Home Learners currently represent 35% of our student body.
Snow Days will continue as they have in the past and we will not live-stream on those days. Although we now have the technology to never miss another day of school, there are other reasons to take a traditional snow day:
- Not all grades take Chromebooks home every night.
- Even if Chromebooks are at home, most students do not take home textbooks and other materials for every subject area.
- It’s good for mental health.
- It’s just plain fun.
As is the case with many of our new 2020-2021 policies, the above snow day policy is subject to change at any time.
Guadías aka Guad Days is next week! This will be a weeklong prayerful celebration of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Here are some of our planned events:
- Monday

- The Missionary Image is one of only four images in the world commissioned by the Basilica Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City to travel the world sharing the mission of Jesus and His Mother. For more information, please click here: What’s so Special about the Missionary Image?
