Daily Update, 4/9/2020
Good morning AC-
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 D Day. Students should only complete work for Mods 2-3-4-5-6. Parents and students should be consistent in checking email and the online gradebook for notifications about missing assignments. Teachers may be willing to extend deadlines, but communication from students is essential about work that may be missing or late. Students who are non-responsive will likely find these opportunities reduced.
Everyone should continue to practice social distancing and stay home as much as possible. In addition to the school building, all fields in the town of Arlington (including the AC Turf Field) are closed until further notice; there should be no gatherings of any kind on the fields.
We have begun the scheduling process based on course requests. We will be in touch with families if there are issues with courses chosen as we begin to schedule students.
This will be the last daily update until next Tuesday. We will be observing Good Friday and Easter Monday as no school/no work days. Enjoy these days together as a family.

A great prayer to pray together as a family at this time is the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. St. Faustina was promised that great graces would flow on the dying and the souls in purgatory. There is a novena that begins tomorrow, Good Friday, and lasts until next Sunday.
Blessings,
