Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update & Distance Learning Program – May 22, 2020

Happy Aloha Friday Saint Mark Parents,

I continue to hope and pray that you are doing well.  I am writing with the latest updates.

No School Monday           
Please remember that there are no classes this coming Monday, May 25 in observance of Memorial Day.

Grade 8 Graduation
We are happy to have finalized the plans for our drive-up graduation/diploma distribution ceremony for our grade 8 students and their parents on Thursday, May 28.

Last Day of School & Returning School Materials
Parents are asked to return all school property (books, iPads, Chromebooks, chargers, white boards, etc.) to the teachers on Friday, May 29 between 8:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.  A reminder will be sent home next week with the drop-off guidelines/requirements.

Financial Support
Because of the sudden and unexpected financial hardships COVID-19 has created for some of our families, Saint Mark has set up a donor link on the school’s website. This link allows us to collect donations to specifically help support those families who may need tuition assistance as the current crisis continues to disrupt employment and other financial factors. I’m happy to report that we have already received numerous generous donations.  Please rest assured that we are here to help our families and are committed to each student continuing their Saint Mark education in the 2020-21 school year.

Resuming On-Campus Activities in 2020-21
It continues to be our sincere hope and plan that we will be able to safely resume on-campus operations at the beginning of the 2020-21 school year with the implementation of well-thought-out protective measures.

Mahalo for your continued patience and perseverance and, as always, please do not hesitate to contact the school office should you have any questions.

Mahalo, Stay Safe, and Have a Wonderful Memorial Day Weekend,

David Gaudi
Head of School
