- If you or your child have been in contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID, notify my office to make alternate arrangements, please do not put others at risk

- Only the parent/s and child should plan to attend this practice session.
- Practice should last approximately 1 hour, this is an estimated time and it just depends on the process. Confession for all students will immediately follow practice.
