Feast of the Immaculate Conception
Tuesday, December 8th
All School Mass
Thank you to everyone for your patience and efforts with this week's virtual learning. I know each teacher created her own schedule, plans, and meeting times. Hopefully they were successful. If, as a parent, you have any general comments, please let me know. If they are specific to a teacher, please reach out to her directly. From what I have heard, the students did an awesome job. I know my 6th grade ELA class was amazing!!
My hope is that we don't have to go virtual again this year, but the entire COVID situation is fluid and it could happen on any given day. Because of this uncertainty, we will be sending home Chromebooks on Friday, December 18 as a precaution for the week after Christmas break. I will monitor the situation between Christmas and New Years and notify you as soon as possible if any schedule changes need to take place. I don't anticipate it, but it is a possibility.
Please remember to report all testing and quarantine information to the office. We are required to track them each day.
The new CDC guidelines will help with the quarantine process. If you are a close contact and get tested on days 5-7 after contact with a negative result and no symptoms, you can return after seven (7) days. If there is no test, and no symptoms, you may return after 10 days. This is shortened from 10/14 respectively.
Lastly, I'd like to thank Hoff Christmas Trees for our beautiful tree in the school lobby.
Have a great weekend AND I WILL SEE YOU ALL ON MONDAY!

SGO Scholarship Donations Needed
*Donations to the St Nicholas SGO Program help 8–10 students attend our school each year. These funds help cover registration and book fees for several families.
*We have about $5,000-$8,000 donated each year. The money can accumulate over the years. We are very blessed to be a stewardship parish. Stewardship covers tuition but not fees so this program is a tremendous help for several families.
*Ironically, only a handful of parishioners take advantage of this tax credit opportunity. The bulk of our funds come from donors who are friends of Catholic education.
*Find out how you can take advantage of this tax credit opportunity and help SNS students at the same time. Go to the website for more information and/or to download a form: www.stnicholas-sunman.org/sgos
