    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 G. Students should complete work for Mods 3-4-5-6-7. Students should plan on about 45 minutes of work in each class. Please be sure to 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 would like to thank everyone who completed the survey last week. We have modified our Digital Learning Guidelines and Expectations as a result, please review the email Sunday night for specifics.

    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. 

    • Our tentative return date is still slated for April 6, 2020. 

    • The MIAA has set a spring sports start date of April 27, 2020.

    • We have made the difficult decision to cancel the spring musical. We are exploring options for the musical, the proms and other events and as we know more we will be sure to pass information along. 

    • 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: Covid-19: A Prayer of Solidarity

    For all who have contracted coronavirus, We pray for care and healing.

    For those who are particularly vulnerable, We pray for safety and protection.

    For all who experience fear or anxiety, We pray for peace of mind and spirit.

    For affected families who are facing difficult decisions between food on the table or public safety, We pray for policies that recognize their plight.

    For those who do not have adequate health insurance, We pray that no family will face financial burdens alone.

    For those who are afraid to access care due to immigration status, We pray for recognition of the God-given dignity of all.

    For our brothers and sisters around the world, We pray for shared solidarity.

    For public officials and decision makers, We pray for wisdom and guidance.

    Father, during this time may your Church be a sign of hope, comfort and love to all.

         Grant peace.

         Grant comfort.

         Grant healing.

         Be with us, Lord.

    Amen.

    Blessings,

    The Arlington Catholic Administrative Team
