[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]St Mary has a link for parents to go to for updates on all things related to the construction. If you are at the school it seems a bit strange that you wouldn’t be able to figure out why this was the reason for the 2 week delay.

So kids are losing out on 2 weeks of instruction time bc of construction? Is tuition prorated accordingly?[/quote]

St. Marys parent here: the school is undergoing a construction project and the delay in the school year is due to the construction.  I would rather be delayed now than pushed back this summer if the project has a problem or something! I appreciate the heads up and time to plan rather than a last minute change.

This is actually pretty early to find out an Arlington Diocese Catholic K-8 schedule as normally the Office of Catholic Schools hasn’t approved them yet! Unlike public schools which post their schedules a year in advance, Arlington K-8s are slow with their schedules due to the approval of the OCS.

Also, the newsletter said they are extending Wednesdays to be a full day versus the earlier dismissal (which changed 10 years ago it used to be a normal dismissal day), so I think the students will get their full education and no calls for prorated tuition are necessary.

OP- call the school office for any questions next time as I have found they are happy to help any questions.[/quote]

Thank you for this info.  Your post was infinitely more informative than what the school put out — which I suppose is my concern. The official announcement was brief, vague, dismissive, surprising, and completely unhelpful. [/quote]
