Dear SRCA Families,
We are fast approaching the first day of the new school year. With a successful reopening comes, sometimes comes adjustments, in order to provide a safe and successful reopening. With that being said, the Diocese has recommended Catholic Schools and Academies change their dismissal time to 1:30 pm, instead of 3:00 pm. This new guidance will allow
- Students to reduce the number of hours that they are wearing their facial covering
- For adequate cleaning and disinfecting to take place
- For the reduction of the amount of time students are in a classroom, during the warm months of September and October
Lunch will still be provided. However, it will be a Grab n’ Go lunch instead. Once students are dismissed, they will be able to grab their lunch, before exiting the building and eat it at home. The lunch will still be a cold lunch, with either a sandwich or wrap, salad, fruit and milk.
ONLY students who are enrolled in the 21st Century or SONYC Program will be able to stay until their program begins at 3:00 pm. Students will have the opportunity to eat their Grab N’ Go lunch or their own lunch from home. Once they finish their lunch, they will be expected to work on their homework, until their program begins.
The 1:30 pm dismissal time will begin the week of September 14th. The new dismissal time will be re-evaluated after the first trimester.
Below are the new times dismissal will take place.
