STM Newsletter for March 11, 2020

View this email in your browser

Dear Parents: 

A lot has happened in the past 24 hours as we deal with the announcement that our schools will be closing for the next two weeks. We appreciate your patience as we work to ensure that your student continues to learn during this time. Please know that you can email us at any time with further questions and concerns. During this closure, we will take the opportunity to do a thorough deep cleaning of the entire campus with special emphasis on high touch areas. We have hired a cleaning company to do this for us in addition to our own janitorial staff.

SCHOOL CLOSURE UPDATES


Yesterday, we notified parents of the mandated two week school closure of St. Thomas More and all San Francisco Archdiocesan schools. School will be closed Thursday, March 12 through Wednesday, March 25, 2020. School will resume on Thursday, March 26. 

A. DISTANCE LEARNING

Although school will be closed during this time, students are expected to continue learning and completing academic work from home. Teachers will be in daily contact with you and your child to continue instruction through distance learning tools and prepared assignments that were sent home today. Teachers will also be checking assignments on a regular basis. The objective is to ensure that your child continues to learn during this time.

Please check your emails as well as your child's class blog or class community app (i.e. ClassDojo and Google Classroom) daily for updates. Feel free to contact our technology coordinator, Mrs. Wong, at bwong@stmsf.org if you have questions about distance learning or need technical support.

B. ATTENDANCE DURING CLOSURE

Attendance will continue to be taken daily during this time. You will receive a document from your child's teacher that allows you to notify us on a daily basis as to whether your child is learning or is sick. Your response will become part of the permanent record.

C. TESTING POSITIVE FOR COVID-19

Please notify us immediately if your child or any family member tests positive for the coronavirus.

D. CANCELLED FIELD TRIPS

All field trips scheduled during this two week period have been cancelled, which include Friday, March 13th Grade 1 field trip to the Academy of Sciences and Grade 2 field trip to the Bay Area Children's Theater on Tuesday, March 24th.
