SFCS Will Safely Reopen

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Our goal at St. Frances Cabrini is to provide the best education possible to your children, and we realize that at the elementary level, instruction is best face to face.  Thus, we intend to accommodate all students on campus for the entire school day for every phase.  Only if there is a “stay at home” order do we plan to return to distance learning.  We are preparing our teachers this summer for a seamless transition from the classroom to virtual learning, if the need arises.  Through the CARES Act, we have been able to purchase a device for every student in grades K-8, which will allow daily instruction to continue to take place at home if needed. 

As you will see in the plan, we will check temperatures at arrival and lunch time.  If a child becomes ill during the school day, for any reason, we have created an isolation area for them until the parent arrives.  As stated in our handbook, if your child runs fever, they must be fever free without medication for 24 hours before they can return to school.   Please help us keep our campus safe by keeping your child home if they are sick. 

Please review the attached SFCS COVID-19 Prevention Plan.   If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call or email me: 318-448-3333 or nvincent@cabrinischool.com.   I will reach out to you again towards the end of July to give you more information about the upcoming school year (important dates & procedures, etc.).   Please remember that our summer office hours are Tuesday-Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. if you need anything.

God Bless,

Sr. Nina Vincent, OLS

Principal
