Parent Email - March 27

Dear Families of St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School,

As mentioned in yesterday’s e-mail, tomorrow (Friday, March 27th)  will be our Drop-Off/Pick-Up Day. In the diagram attached, you can see the flow of traffic and where the boxes for each grade level will be located (Pre-K3 through 3rd will be in front of the school/church; 4th through 8th grade will be behind the building by the sports fields). There will be two boxes and a basket per grade level: 

• One box to drop materials off
  • Please drop all items you are submitting into the box marked for return work - there is no need to separate by teacher. Please include your Distance Learning Plan as we will use this for attendance. 
• One box to pick materials up
  • Please take the top packet of new material from the box. 
• One Earth Day basket
  • Please also take one Earth Day packet from the basket near the boxes. More info to come on the Earth Day materials. We will celebrate Earth Day on April 3rd rather than have our usual coursework.

We are asking families to come at these times to spread out presence on campus:

• Last Names A – I : 9am – 10am
• Last Names J – R : 10am – 11am
• Last Names S – Z : 11am – 12pm

Staff will not be outside at this time as we do our best to comply with all CDC recommendations. Parents or students MAY NOT come in the building. We also ask that you comply with the social distancing recommendations of Montgomery County when getting these materials. The National Institute of Health reports that COVID-19 can live up to 24 hours on cardboard. Our teachers will be waiting to review materials until Monday. Please take precautions with the items you pick up as well.

Just a reminder that this is not mandatory. You may also opt to submit all materials electronically to your teacher and print packets. Either option is fine. We are trying to meet the needs of all families by giving both options.

Only by His Grace,

Veronica Tucker
Principal
