Dear Catholic Schools Families, Since September, the Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of New York have been open for in-person instruction thanks to the unwavering partnership of our parents and students with our devoted pastors, principals, and teachers. Your faithful commitment to our rigorous protocols has ensured the continued health and safety of our school communities. Our children have been learning and have been safe! I write to you with the good news for next year – September 2021. My goal and that of the Health & Safety Task Force is to commit all our collective expertise and resources to ensure all our schools will be open for five full days a week of in-person instruction for all students beginning in September 2021. This will eliminate the need for hybrid learning or remote classes next school year. Before and after care programs will also begin at the start of the new school year. This is, of course, as long as health directives from federal, state, and local county health agencies allow, and the community infection rate remains at appropriate levels. Mr. Michael Deegan Superintendent of Schools

With the expectation that we will have all our after school activities back in September I wanted to tell you the following: The school will be taking over our band and violin program. Band will be available for students entering grades 3-8 and will meet once a week (probably Mondays, as in the past.) Mr. Levitt and I have worked it out so the annual fee will be only $400 which includes instrument rental. This is a lot better than the previous price which was close to $700. The fee will be added to your SMART tuition account ($50 a month for 8 months) so no extra arrangements need to be made. The available instruments are flute, clarinet, trumpet and drums. If you’d like to purchase an instrument please contact Mr. Levitt at [email protected] Please let us know if you would like your child to join. The earlier the better as we’d like to get an idea of how many instruments will be needed. This pre-registration period begins now. No fee or paperwork is required. Our goal is to have a Christmas concert this year as well as a spring concert. We’d also like to have the students do one performance out of school. Before Covid we took a trip every year and entertained residents at a local nursing home. We’re looking forward to having a good number of students making music! Please email me or Mr. Levitt with any questions.
