St. Francis Xavier Families,
As you know, we are expecting a solar eclipse on Monday. While Massachusetts is not in the direct path of totality, we will still see about 90-95% of the eclipse. The solar eclipse will begin at 2:13 p.m. and will reach maximum coverage at 3:27 p.m. before ending at 4:37 p.m. We have just been given the recommendation from the diocese to dismiss early for both the safety of the students and the staff.
Therefore, on Monday April 8th, we will be dismissing at 1pm. We will offer extended care NO charge from 1-2:45pm and will begin charging per usual for extended day beginning at 2:45pm.
Students who remain in extended care will remain inside the gym and will not be going outside. We know this is a last minute shift, but as more information has come forth, we made this decision to minimize driving and dismissal during the height of the eclipse.
Please fill out the form below to let us know if you will need extended care so we can adequately staff our program.
In His Merciful Love,
Mrs. Rogers
