The new Immaculate Conception playground is under construction.   Meyer Design of Akron is building the playset.   Funding is from the PTA, Reeves Foundation, and our generous donors.   The project should be completed in about a week.   Later this year, the parking lot/playground will be resurfaced.

1. We will conduct training and professional development with the teaching staff so that the staff is prepared to conduct distance learning as needed in the coming school year.   We will be prepared to accommodate students not attending in-person and any future disruptions in the school year that could occur.  
2. We remain committed to forming disciples of Christ and staying focused on faith development and instruction.
3. We will adopt use of a new program called “Digital Academy” that will provide one source for most of our distance learning tools, class assignments, report cards, student information, and more.  This will streamline and simplify the number of accounts used by students and parents.
4. We will adhere to the health and safety guidelines and regulations provided by the CDC and Ohio agencies such as the Department of Education and Ohio Department of Health such as social distancing, handwashing, health assessments, etc.   This will create some changes in our daily routines such as drop-off and pick-up procedures.   We will know more when those rules are finalized.
5. Our buildings will be clean and sanitized for the start of the year and we will have procedures in place to keep the building as clean and safe as possible throughout each school day.
6. We will have a plan in place to transition to effective distance learning and instruction if there are any future disruptions to our regular schedules.
