A national search is underway, led by our search consultants at Carney, Sandoe & Associates, a leading consulting firm with extensive experience supporting Catholic schools and dioceses across the country. This is a critically important decision and the Department of Catholic Schools is reaching out to all constituents of the Archdiocese to seek your input and support. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ArchLASuperintendentSurvey As you will see, they value your thoughts regarding the qualities and qualifications most desired in our next Superintendent, and they would be most appreciative of your nomination of potential candidates. This is a big and important job requiring extensive leadership experience along with passion for Catholic identity and the vital mission of our Catholic schools. Your input is greatly appreciated and will help to guide their judgment and priorities. Please do not fill out more than one survey although you may receive more than one request. On behalf of Archbishop Gomez and the Department of Catholic Schools, we thank you in advance for your support and look forward to receiving your survey soon. Read more

FLU SEASON IS HERE

With the hopes of keeping germs out, we are looking for parents to volunteer for about 15 minutes after school to wipe down classrooms. If you are interested, please email your child(ren)'s teacher to let her know your availability. While we will do our best at school keeping everything disinfected, please keep your child at home if he/she is sick. We ask that students (and adults!) are fever free for 24 hours before returning to school. For their safety, students may not keep any medication, either prescription or over the counter, in their desk or backpack. All medication must be brought to the office with a doctor’s note. Thank you! Read more

REMIND and Verizon Talks

We’re writing to let you know about a potential service disruption that may affect people in your organization who use Remind for communication. As you might have heard, we’re currently working to reverse a Verizon fee that would force Remind to end text notifications on January 28 for Verizon Wireless customers who use our free service. Verizon has publicly said they won’t charge or pass through a fee to Remind, and we’re in conversations with them to finalize that commitment in writing. For more details, you can read our CEO’s recent blog post here. Until there’s a formal agreement in place, you can avoid potential service disruptions by asking your community to download the mobile app or enable email notifications for their accounts. Text messaging will also be protected for organizations with a Remind School and District plan, which includes additional features to support organization-wide communication. Please don’t hesitate to reply to this email with any questions about the situation with Verizon, potential service disruptions, or the School and District plan. Sincerely, The Remind team Read more
