Blessed Savior Catholic School

August 4th, 2020
Dear Parents/Guardians,

We wanted to provide an update regarding the newest policies per the Milwaukee Health Department and their criteria on Fall reopening.

In mid July, the Health Department stated that no Milwaukee schools would be able to open this fall until Milwaukee reached Phase 5. At the end of July, the Health Department amended their previous statement and noted that schools could reopen with an approved plan. In addition, an approved plan would allow schools to reopen for fall at 50% capacity under section 4.1 of the Moving Milwaukee Forward Safely Plan. 

At this time, Blessed Savior has submitted their plan to the Milwaukee Health Department, and we plan to move forward with Virtual Instruction for all students starting on 8/31, which is the first day of school. 

A parent letter is forthcoming and will be mailed to you next week with pertinent information regarding COVID procedures, supply pick up, uniform sales and other important updates. 

We will continue to update you as we become able to do so.

Dear Parents/Guardians
In accordance with the most recent update from the Health Department, Blessed Savior will begin drafting protocols to be sent in and approved this Fall. As you can imagine, this is ever changing and is new territory for all schools. We will begin on 8/31 with virtual learning for all students in 3rd-8th grade. K-2 will be given hard copies. We will have our Welcome Back Parent Night on 8/27. Watch for our Summer Newsletter at the beginning of August for more details. As changes develop, we will keep you posted.

 Dear Parents,

As you know, we have been planning for schools to open this fall and to offer a variety of learning pathways to meet the needs of parents and staff. However, our plans are changing due to orders received last week from the Milwaukee Health Department. The Health Department has affirmed that all K-12 public and private schools in the city of Milwaukee are not permitted to offer in-person learning at this time. Only when the city reaches Phase 5 of the Moving Milwaukee Forward Plan can any school in the city of Milwaukee consider opening in person. As you can imagine, we are extremely disappointed as we have invested countless hours into developing school safety plans that would allow for learning environments that meet CDC guidelines.  

That said, we are reviewing our options and reconsidering our plans. We fully intend to provide a safe environment for in-person learning as soon as we are authorized to do so. Until then, we are exploring opportunities for school-based child care that would help support working parents and essential workers. Contact your campus for details.  

Since we were already planning to offer a digital pathway for students, we are confident that this option will deliver quality instruction providing both live and recorded lessons from our teachers. We will continue to build out this plan to ensure our teachers are well prepared to deliver engaging content for students. 

We realize that the uncertainty of this situation is challenging. You will hear an update from us as soon we know more.

We plan to offer a quality, Catholic educational environment for our students regardless of the changing circumstances. It is important to periodically check our website at blessedsaviorcatholicschool.org and our facebook page for updates.Thank you for your patience as we navigate this extraordinary time. 

Blessings,

Mrs. Nadia Pope
