We have never done this before. This is a marking period where our schcool community  has to figure out how to be students, teachers, parents, children, friends, colleagues, and just human beings in the midst of a global pandemic.

We are going to get some things wrong. As we see what the months ahead have in store for our city, country, and world, some of our expectations may change.
We will work together to give your child what they need to learn in my class, while being aware of the immense uncertainty that surrounds all “planning” at this point.

I also hope, we work together to build community—to serve as a space for exchanging information, asking important questions, changing our minds, and supporting and advocating for one another. 

I am committed to working with each of you, and all of you, to create the conditions for your child in which they feel supported and safe.

As issues arise that impact your child's learning, please let me know, and let’s find solutions together.

God of wisdom and might, we praise you for the wonder of our being, for mind, body, and spirit.
Be with our students as they begin a new school year.
Bless our students, our teachers, and our staff.
Give our students strength and grace, wisdom and knowledge, peace, understanding, and zeal
as they learn and grow every day.
We ask this through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Amen.  

Dear St. Lucy's Kindergarten Parents:

I look forward to welcoming  your  child  to a milestone year in Kindergarten here at  St. Lucy's School.   I am Mrs. Lucania, and I am thrilled to be your child’s Kindergarten teacher for the 2020-2021 school year.  

During the first few days of school,  I will get to know your child and will establish  routines that will  help maintain a safe and productive learning environment. In Kindergarten,  we use Google Classroom and ZOOM on a regular basis to ensure a seamless transition between in-person and virtual learning. A class code and a username for your child with user name & password will be provided with  instructions on how to access Google Classroom in the coming weeks.

Wednesday, September 9th 7:45 AM - 11:30 AM (COHORT A)
Thursday, September 10th 7:45 AM - 11:30 AM (COHORT B)

There is no school on Friday, September 11th as we prepare for your child’s first full week of school.

Kindergarten’s First Full Day of School begins on Monday, September 14th.

All students will enter through the MAIN ENTRANCE using social distancing. All students will be dismissed IN THE LARGE SCHOOL YARD - ONLY ONE (1) PICK-UP PERSON MAY ENTER THE SCHOOL YARD), using social distancing. Each student must bring a snack and a beverage (WATER IS SUGGESTED) in a disposable bag with their name clearly labeled on it. Students only need to bring a pencil and crayons for the first day they are attending. Instructions about when to bring remaining supplies, will be forth coming.

Please email me,  if your child has any food allergies, requires an Epi Pen or any other health issues immediately

Your child requires  a complete  school uniform and gym uniform whether he/she receives in-person or remote learning.

You must also provide a record of immunizations  for your child.
Other forms and documentation will be requested, and must be returned upon request.

Thank you so much for choosing St. Lucy's School for your child’s  education.  I look forward to seeing you very soon.  

Sincerely,
Mrs. Lucania
