After careful consideration, the Diocese has made the decision to close all schools on April 8, 2024, due to the expected solar eclipse. We will have a Flexible Instructional Day.

This rare event has generated significant interest and concern regarding the safety of viewing the eclipse without proper precautions. The safety and well-being of our students and staff are our top priorities. Although eclipses are awe-inspiring, looking directly at the sun without proper eye protection can cause serious eye damage. Given the challenges of ensuring that all students and staff have access to and use appropriate eclipse-viewing glasses and the challenges with transportation issues at dismissal, we believe closing the school is the most responsible decision.
