Dear Assumption Family,
Resilience is the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties; toughness. Flexibility is the willingness to change or compromise. These are important qualities for all people to learn. After our experience these past two weeks I would say that the Assumption Community has mastered these qualities!
I would like to thank our quick thinking and creative teachers that rolled with the tide and planned and delivered meaningful and effective lessons in temporary classrooms and alternative locations.
Our students were resilient while having classes in our "one room school house" or under a tent or in the chapel. I think some of the kids might actually miss these unique learning environments when we return to the main building on Tuesday.
Even our youngest students demonstrated flexibility as they attended classes in a conference room at the Catholic Center. Thank you to Dr. Cheeseman and the diocesan staff for welcoming our classes last week.
Father Cipriani and the parish staff have been so accommodating as we took over the entire campus to keep most of our students close to home while we were not allowed in the main school building.
The end is in sight, but a lot of work still needs to be done to completely reoccupy our school building. Our house is built on a solid rock of faith and patience. The flood has come and gone and just like the story of Noah, our school will be rebuilt better than before.
Flood Repair Update
As of Friday afternoon the asbestos abatement crew completed the work of removing all tile and carpet from the lower floor of the building. They then safely removed all asbestos containing material.
Hygenix was onsite Friday evening to do a visual inspection of the work done as well as take air samples to determine if it is safe to return to the building. Those results will be available Sunday afternoon. Assuming the test is negative, AIG will return Monday morning to remove all equipment and clear the lower floor of all protective plastic and remove hazardous materials from our campus.
Once this is done, children will be allowed to return to the building. Starting at 5:30 PM on Monday evening volunteers are needed to help breakdown our temporary classrooms and return materials and furniture to the main school building. Please email Jody Gourley at [email protected] if you are able to help on Monday evening.
All students in grades PK-8 will return to the main school building on Tuesday morning and classes will be held on the main floor during the clean up and repair of the lower level.
I will know more about the repair timeline after I meet with the contractor on Tuesday. I expect that we will be able to access our entire school building by the end of October.
Thank you again for your patience, resilience, and flexibility. The silver lining is that we will have an beautiful and updated lower level for further serve our students and community.
Many Blessings,
Steven J. Santoli
Principal
