It is our full intention to have classes live within our building beginning with the new school year. There will certainly be some changes to make this happen. We are dedicated to providing a faith-filled environment with the high academic standards that you have come to love about SWS!
Steps being taken at this point:
Multiple principal meetings with the Archdiocese each week – to discuss safety protocols.
Archdiocese communitation to pastors and parishes about school opening weekly.
Meetings with local public school superintendent and school principals – safety and pocedures.
Weekly meetings with school staff to put scenarios together for multiple situations to take place.
