2020-2021: Hopes & Dreams, Prospects & Possibilities

Our community is envisioning what next year may look like. In conjunction with the Archdiocese, we

are planning a school year that will enable our families to allow their children to physically attend school in the

fall. We plan to have a traditional calendar, beginning August 17, 2020. As the Archdiocese continues to guide

us, we are working at our level to create the best plan for any possibility. We are forming a taskforce of parents,

teachers, and administration looking at research, data, and surveys to ascertain the different needs that have

arisen as a result of COVID-19. This taskforce will work together to come up with a comprehensive plan to

meet needs that may arise next year, including, but not limited to, safety, distance learning, and financial needs.

If you are interested in participating, please contact Dr. Grenardo at [email protected].

In conjunction with the Archdiocese, St. James will continue to train and plan to enhance the distance

learning experience for our students. We are currently looking at ways to allow more flexibility in learning,

avenues to have recorded lessons, and more face time with the teachers to allow assistance on assignments. We

are focused on how we can enhance the learning experience for our students, as well as, taking an active role in

daily learning, should the need arise. We are not daunted by the possibilities of distance learning for next year,

we are planning for an exceptional experience for all.
