Weather-related Make Up Day Plan
                                                        Second Semester 2020-2021

       Friday, December 18, 2020

       Dear Holy Rosary Parents and Guardians,

       As the first semester comes to a close (90 days IN school – Hooray!), we turn our
       attention to possible inclement weather this winter that may cause school closings or
       delays. As a reminder, Holy Rosary Catholic School, preschool through grade 8, will
       follow EVSC on closings and delays due to weather. In addition to seeing the
       information posted on television or websites, you will receive a School Messenger
       phone call in the morning to announce the delay or closing.

       Holy Rosary Catholic School, along with the other Memorial partner schools, have
       decided to utilize e-learning days for school days cancelled due to inclement weather.
       The make up day will be held virtually on the missed day of school. While this is the
       plan for the second semester, the school may make changes to that plan if conditions
       warrant.

       Please watch for additional information in January to help us prepare for this possibility.

       Since we will be using e-learning days when school is cancelled for inclement weather,
       all potential make up days on the school calendar for 2020-2021 school year will now be
       days off from school.

       Thank you for being a part of keeping us IN school this first semester! We look forward
       to another 90 days learning, growing, playing, and praying together in 2021!

       God bless our Holy Rosary family,

       Joan Fredrich

                                 Holy Rosary Catholic School Mission Statement
In a nurturing environment and through the cooperative effort of families, teachers, and parish community, all
children at Holy Rosary Catholic School will develop a sound foundation of Catholic faith along with an excellent
base of knowledge that prepares them to be life-long learners.
