About the 2020-21 School Year
By MRS. ANGIE EADS PSR Principal fter much consideration, I have decided that PSR will not be offered as an in-person program this year. The coursework for the 2020-21 school year will all be completed online. This is for the safety of the students, their families, and the teachers and volunteers of the PSR program. It is my hope and plan that we will be able to continue with in-person classes for the 2021-22 school year. The program will contain 24 lessons. The first lesson will begin the week of Oct. 5 and the last lesson is scheduled for the week of April 26 to be completed no later than May 7. The program is designed so that one lesson should be completed each week. Your student will not be able to work ahead, but can make up a lesson that is missed. Each lesson will have a short assignment to submit and the completion of this work will be recorded.

Although we are disappointed that our parish children will be unable to attend PSR in person this school year due to the ongoing pandemic, our parish PSR Principal Angie Eads is confident and optimistic that the online program will be a success as we continue to do our best as a parish family to form our children in the faith.
This year’s program will utilize both a textbook and online tools. Families can pick up these books and the log-in information on continued on back cover
