Dear Parents,
Holy Week Masses & Services
St. Brigid of Kildare Parish has prepared many Masses and Lenten services for viewing online. In addition, the diocese will be offering Holy Week Masses and events from St. Joseph Cathedral.
A Note About Emails
We have had reports of parents not receiving emails or receiving emails to spam. We believe that because of the overall increase in email volume due to COVID-19, and our additional increase in emails being sent, the spam filters and email servers are having a tough time filtering things as well as they normally do.
Please check your spam folders for any important school emails, and continue to mark them not spam and move to your inbox if found there. School emails will always come from one of my email addresses:
[email protected] or
[email protected], so anything from these addresses is safe. Adding these addresses to your contact list or safe sender list will further help deliverability rates. You can also add your teacher's email addresses
found here to your contact list to ensure deliverability. Thank you for your patience during this time.
Do Not Record
In order to fulfill Safe Environment guidelines, our teachers will be recording Zoom meetings and Google Meets. These recordings will only be available to other members of the class and are not available for public access. I you would like to opt out of your child being recorded in any Zoom conferences that will be used for classroom use only, please
fill out this form by this Friday, April 10.
A Few Project Highlights
Mrs. Schwab, our middle school aide and latchkey staff member, has made a video about how to sew masks. Check it out in the story below as well as a link for “no sew” masks.
As we prepare to celebrate Easter this weekend, it might be fun to work as a family on a Resurrection Garden.
See the video at this link. Since we are not currently able to plant and enjoy our school garden, Papa Jack and the wellness committee will be sharing some gardening ideas over the next several weeks.
In closing, may you find many blessings celebrating Easter at home with your families. Easter is not cancelled….Easter is about the love Jesus has for all of us. When we stay home on Easter Sunday - and every Sunday for the time being, we are responding to the call to love one another and the world as Jesus loves us.
Easter Blessings,
Kathy O'Reilly
