Please note the updates in bold:

The NYPD and the Red Cross are accepting donations for Hurricane Sandy victims at Resort World Casino in South Ozone Park. You can drop off donations by using the 108th Street and Rockaway Boulevard entrance.

As of now, we still plan to open on Monday, November 5. Please be aware that many staff members have suffered significant losses because of the hurricane, and as of right now, many do not have power or the gas necessary to come to work. It will take some time before we are fully up and running again.

Students who cannot attend school because of hurricane-related issues, such as: power loss, lack of gas/transportation, temporary relocation will have their absences excused. All lateness will be excused until further notice.

A tentative calendar will be published on the website as soon as possible. It will be more subject to change than the normal November calendar.

Lunch payments and After-School Payments for the week of October 29 will be honored for the week of November 5. Since there wasn’t lunch planned for Wednesday and Thursday of that week, we will sell pizza those two days. A special order form will go home on Monday.

Individual and Group Photos will be POSTPONED. A new date will be announced as soon as possible.

Please keep all of those affected by Hurricane Sandy in your prayers.

Sincerely in Christ,

Mr. Coyne
