Dear Families:
I hope all is well!
Last night, I received some additional information regarding the Saint Thomas Aquinas Distance Learning Program, which is being offered to families who may not be ready to send their children back to school for in-person instruction.
Please click here for a letter that includes some additional information. Most importantly, within the letter are links for upcoming Zoom information sessions for the online learning platform. I’m also including those two links in the body of this email, too.
Register for Friday, August 21 at 12:00pm session: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_JsY_ck2QQQ2w1-ZhzhYXWA
Register for Monday, August 24 at 6:00pm session: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_2bvFx1SvSaOcWIhBr8u29g
Just as a reminder… here are a few important details:
All students who participate in the Saint Thomas Aquinas Distance Learning Catholic Academy must be enrolled at Saint Mark Catholic Academy to participate.
There is no additional cost; you continue to pay your monthly tuition to Saint Mark.
Saint Mark faculty will not be staffing the online academy. The Diocese of Brooklyn is hiring qualified teachers to provide online distance learning. They are also hiring a principal to oversee and manage the program. Both Saint Mark and the distance learning academy will follow the same state standards. (According to the Diocese of Brooklyn, Saint Mark Catholic Academy cannot create our own independent distance learning program.)
At the conclusion of the first trimester (early December) parents will have the option to return to in-person instruction at Saint Mark Catholic Academy. (We are currently holding a seat for each child enrolled in the online academy.)
Again, these are just a few key points; please attend one of the Zoom sessions to get a sense of what the Saint Thomas Aquinas Distance Learning Catholic Academy will offer.
The following is a link to indicate your intent to participate in the Saint Thomas Aquinas Distance Learning Catholic Academy. Please complete it as soon as possible, so I can send the Diocese your contact information.
