Planning for Fall

Dear CSF families, 

I hope you are enjoying the start of your summer. These beautiful days are such a blessing. As we officially move into June, you are likely wondering about our fall plans for Catholic Schools of Fairbanks. Some have inquired: Will we have school? If we do have school, what will school be like? These are important questions. I want to assure you that YES, we will have school. The tentative start date is August 17.

The CSF leadership team has been busy researching and mapping out the best course of action for our schools. The health and safety of our students, staff, and CSF families is at the heart of planning. Because this is an evolving situation, we will need to be flexible and ready to adapt to change. We have identified some viable scenarios for this fall and will very soon ask for your feedback. Please look for another email in the near future.

While I can't give definitives right now, I will share this:

• At the core of our education at Catholic Schools of Fairbanks is concern for the "Common Good." We have a responsibility to work toward the greatest good for all people.
• CSF aims to provide the best education possible whether it be in-person, through distance delivery, or a little bit of both. We are committed to helping your student(s) develop academically, socially, and spiritually. 
• If CSF is not able to have all students back in the school building full-time, offering childcare for younger children is a priority.

With change comes opportunity. CSF is excited about the growth opportunities for our schools and for our students, even amidst these challenging times.  We continue to be committed to serving and caring for the whole of our students. 

Thank you for your continued support and prayers as we move forward.
