Dear St. Monica Academy Families,

Easter Break:  The Office of Catholic Schools and St. Monica Academy strongly encourages all school families to enjoy Easter Break locally this year and avoid any out-of-state travel.  Doing so best positions our school to continue with in-person learning uninterrupted for the remainder of the school year.  It also helps to keep our school safe as our local health departments and state authorities work out their COVID-19 vaccination plans.  As you plan for Easter Break (April 1st to April 11^th), please keep in mind the travel-related quarantine guidelines.  A 10 day quarantine period is required upon return from a no-travel state.

E-learning Notice – If possible, it is easier for us to get a student ready for e-learning with at least one day’s notice. Thank you!

Absences:  Please continue to report any absences to the school office at 773-631-7880 and fill out the following Google Form each morning when your child is sick.  If we do not receive a call from you by 9:00 a.m., we will call you.  Please keep your child home if he or she is sick or experiencing any Covid symptoms.   

Thank You St. Monica Families for your generous donations today to the St. Vincent DePaul Food Pantry for a total of just over $300 to help the needy!
