Dear Parents,
In anticipation of inclement weather, our administrative team has carefully considered many factors in making an appropriate decision for our community. Our priority is always safety, and we understand that school closures can be challenging for working families. As a small private school with both an early learning center and an elementary school, we must also account for the needs of our teachers and staff, some of whom live in low-lying areas and may need to evacuate.
We have reviewed the latest weather data, followed Bay District Schools’ decision, and consulted with the Office of Catholic Schools for our Diocese. Given the historical trauma from Hurricane Michael and to provide families and staff the flexibility to evacuate if needed, we have decided to close both the Academy and Preschool tomorrow, Wednesday, September 25th, at 3:00 PM. We will remain closed on Thursday and Friday as well.
Please note that there will be no aftercare tomorrow, and Carline will proceed as usual at 2:50 PM for both elementary and preschool. Please plan so that all students are picked up by 3:00 PM Wednesday, to allow our staff time to return home safely.
While we could wait to assess travel conditions for Friday morning, we believe it is more important to give families the opportunity to make safe and timely arrangements.
Thank you for your understanding. May the Lord protect all those in the path of this storm.
Through Christ our Teacher~
Sister Grace
