Message from Mrs. Joyce - April 13, 2020

April 13, 2020 Dear Parents/Guardians, I hope all of you had a very Happy Easter, and were able to relax a little. I know that this holiday was different from what we were used to, but hopefully, the next holiday will be a time when we can get together with family and friends and enjoy each other’s company once again. Progress reports for the mid third trimester are scheduled to go home this Friday April 17th. We are working on sending these reports to you through Plus Portal, but I am not sure if they will be sent on 4/17. If they are not to you by 4/17, they will be to you sometime during the following week. The SLE (School-wide Learning Expectations) Progress Reports, that usually go home with the regular six week progress reports, will not be sent through Plus Portal, so they will not be sent at this time. I will inform you on the status of these reports soon. The teachers will resume their teaching with the students this week and will continue until the students are actually sitting in their seats in their classrooms.Please let me know if you have questions and/or concerns with regard to student work. Thank you for all the tuition and aftercare payments that were collected over the last two weeks, and more payments will be processed this week for the April tuition as the envelope would have gone home today 4/14/20. Some of you who have paid graduation fees for kindergarten and eighth grade are wondering what will happen with those fees. Caps and gowns and diplomas have already been purchased. If the school is allowed to do something for the graduates, then the money for that will also be added to the cost of the caps, gowns, and diplomas. The remainder will be applied to tuition, but at this time, the amount is unknown. I will keep you posted as the school year progresses. Many of you have reached out requesting extensions with regards to payments, and I have taken the requests very seriously. OLLV does not want to put more pressure on its families than they already are facing. Please know that Our Lady’s will work with you. Thank you for all your patience and support, and I will keep you posted on all school items.
