Newsletter - Week of May 24-28

A Moment for Mission

Regard yourselves as ministers and servant, reflecting that you have more need to serve them than they have need to be served by you.

St. Angela, First Counsel

A Quick Note From the President

I will be sending updates over the summer but couldn’t wait to share some exciting news! We have identified a space for the innovation center and will be working over the summer to get it set with 3-D printers, a C&C machine, a vinyl cutter, and when supply becomes available, virtual reality headsets. The next phase, making physical changes to create a modern, technology-centered look and feel, is planned for Christmas break. And during the first semester of 21/22, we plan to have a gaming room in place as well! These spaces will allow for the integration of technology into all aspects of the curriculum and some fun special projects. I’ll share more information as we continue to move forward.

Thank you for your support, patience, and partnership during this challenging year. I’m looking forward to seeing you on campus next year and sharing the entire Ursuline experience once again.

Safety Update - May 17-21

This week we had no students test positive for Covid-19. Be assured that if your daughter could potentially be impacted by someone who tests positive, you will be informed as soon as possible. A reminder that quarantine means that students are not allowed to come to school, it also means they should not have contact with others beyond their family outside of school. We are not only trying to protect Ursuline but trying to be a part of the community solution as well.
