As you may have heard, this morning Governor Gretchen Whitmer has canceled all "in-person" learning, both public and non-public, through the end of the school year. We wanted to let you know that we are aware of her most recent decision, and our school administrators and our Diocesean Office of Schools met yesterday and will meet again tomorrow to discuss the impact on our students, families, and staffs.
You will hear from our office by the end of the day tomorrow as to any decisions that collectively affect all of our schools, as well as from your school's principal in regard to local issues. In the meantime, let us continue to pray for one another and an end to this pandemic.
Bishop Bradley has called Friday, April 3 to be a
Day of Prayer and Penance. I hope you will be able to join us in this diocesan-wide event as we come together to pray in these unsettled times.
I will be in touch again soon.
Sincerely,
Margaret Erich
Superintendent of Schools - Diocese of Kalamazoo
