    Good morning AC-

    Please see Mr. Naughton introduce this morning’s message here.

    Our daily opening prayer at AC: Loving God, as I begin this day, help me to live my life to the best of my ability. To be open to those who love me. To respond to those who need me. To forgive those who hurt me. To be especially kind to others with my words and actions. And to appreciate the world in which we live. Saint Agnes, Pray for us. In Jesus’ name. Amen. 

    Today is DAY A. Students should complete work for Mods 1-2-3-4-5. Students should plan on about 45 minutes of work in each class. Please be sure to proactively reach out to teachers with any questions or issues that arise, including the time required to complete work. All emails will be answered by 3pm each day. Teachers will be reaching out to students and families where work is not being submitted

    We have modified our Digital Learning Guidelines and Expectations as a result of your input. Please see the email from Sunday night or the Family Portal for more details.

    We will be having a virtual Spirit Week this week. Check our social media accounts for more information and post your pictures!

    Third quarter will end this Friday; teachers will have until next Friday to submit grades. Students may submit work through Friday (or later based on teacher deadlines). Students should bear in mind, then, the importance of completing this work during our time away from each other. Failure to complete work will negatively affect student’s grades.

    Announcements:

    During this stressful time we know that many young-people and adults may wish to reach-out for pastoral care. The priests of St. Agnes Parish are available via phone (781-648-0220), email, or a number of video conference platforms, such as Google Chat and Zoom. Their contact info is available at CPARL.org.  There are other resources and programs that might be helpful to individuals and families on the site as well. Each day you are prayed for at the Facebook Live Mass broadcast from the Collaborative Parishes Office Chapel each day at 12pm. 

    The enrollment deadline has been pushed to 4/17 and all fees waived (fees already paid will be credited to the tuition balance). Please help us plan by completing this process as soon as possible.

    Please continue to sign up for courses for next year. April 3rd is the deadline to choose courses for next year. This deadline is incredibly important. Please reach out to teachers and guidance counselors with any questions. Completed worksheets can be returned when we all come back to school.

    Prayer: Pope Francis’ Prayer for Protection--

    O Mary, you shine continuously on our journey as a sign of salvation and hope.

    We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick.

    At the foot of the Cross you participated in Jesus’ pain, with steadfast faith.

    You, Salvation of the Roman People, know what we need.

    We are certain that you will provide, so that, as you did at Cana of Galilee, joy and feasting might return after this moment of trial.

    Help us, Mother of Divine Love, to conform ourselves to the Father’s will and to do what Jesus tells us: He who took our sufferings upon Himself, and bore our sorrows to bring us, through the Cross, to the joy of the Resurrection.

    Amen.

    We seek refuge under your protection, O Holy Mother of God. Do not despise our pleas – we who are put to the test – and deliver us from every danger, O glorious and blessed Virgin.

    Blessings,

    The Arlington Catholic Administrative Team
