Knights' News

Absence other than COVID-19 quarantine:

• I want to clarify our practices regarding Zoom meetings and absent work. As in years past, if a student is absent due to a non-COVID-19 related illness, vacation, or other non-COVID-19 mandated reason, they will be treated as a typical absence in a non pandemic school year.

• Homeroom teachers will have a fellow student gather your son/daughter's work throughout the day.

• The materials will be placed in the office to be picked up, or, if requested, the work will be sent home with another sutdent and/or a sibling.

Absence due to COVID-19 quarantine:

• Please be aware that teachers will only be hosting Zooms for students with COVID-19 related illness and/or quarantine restrictions. These absences should go through the school office as a spreadsheet is maintained to keep staff up-to-date. Although teachers have recurring Zooms, we will not be hosting a meeting unless students are absent due to a COVID-19 related illness or a required quarantine due to exposure.

Keeping Immacolata an in-person educational and faith community:

• Thank you for in advance for your understanding and patience as we navigate through these ever-changing events. As always, attendance in school is extremely important. While we want to ensure that students that are out on mandated quarantines are able to keep up with their studies, this also needs to remain a manageable option for teaching staff. The staff is dedicated to keeping Immacolata an in-person educational and faith community. To do this, they are wearing many hats and are stretched a bit thin. But with everyone's patience and cooperation, I know this will be a great year!
