Dear Parents and Guardians, I have just received word and it has been on the television that all Philadelphia Public and Parochial Schools will be closed for the next two weeks. The time is from Monday, March 16 to Friday, March 27. I have attached a detailed letter with information on how you can come to school on Monday, 3/16 to pick up your child's books. THEY WILL NEED THEM. Teachers are assigning work on a daily basis and IT MUST BE COMPLETED. This is part of our plan for a Flexible Instructional Day. Read the attached carefully. Mass for Pre-K and Kdg is still on according to Father Quinter. All CYO practices, games, meeets, etc. HAVE BEEN CANCELLED UNTIL AFTER MARCH 27. ALL CUB SCOUT/BOY SCOUT ACTIVITIES ARE CANCELLED, TOO. NO ACTIVITIES MAY OCCUR IN THE SCHOOL IF IT IS CLOSED. Thank you. May the soul of Cpl. James O'Connor rest in peace and may God watch over his family, friends and fellow officers. Mrs. Z
