Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

In a letter to parents of Ascension of Our Lord Catholic School students, principal Toni Ruiz explained the school’s response to the Governor’s emergency declaration of March 13, closing all schools and limiting public gatherings for a month.

So there will be no pause in the educational process, beginning March 17, AOL has decided to distribute weekly assignments every Tuesday from 3-6 p.m. from the school’s front office. Assignments will be completed and returned, then new material will be available for pick up. Students are expected to complete all assignments, as they will be graded. Teachers will send weekly emails regarding assignments. Contact your child’s teacher regarding any concerns.

Ruiz stated their decision involved close collaboration with the Archdiocese, St. John Parish leaders, and AOL staff, with consideration for the health of all. They are working closely with the Archdiocese for guidance.

For updates regarding this transition, please visit the AOL Facebook page or website www.aolcrusaders.org.
