Welcome families! Our goal at Augustinian is to help your student THRIVE during the school shutdown.

These resources are meant to support and supplement schoolwork and communication that will come directly from your student's teacher. This page will be updated daily! Please check back frequently for updates.

Digital Citizenship
Whether we like it or not, we've been thrown into this highly digital world and it is often overwhelming as we try to navigate this new way of educating our children! Resources and information is abundant and it is often so much it's hard to even know where to start. We have always recommended commonsense.org as a family resource and now more than ever they continue to help families and educators through all of this. They have everything from on-line safety, media reviews, teaching media literacy to new and updated resources for online learning for both teachers and parents. If you are looking for ideas and answers this is a great place to start!

Happy Mother's Day
Easter Sunday is a reminder of rebirth and new life! It gives us hope during these extremely challenging times! Count your blessings this Easter! I am grateful for every staff member, every student, every parent, every person who shows us what we can do when we work together!
This week should be our Spring Break. Due to school closures for COVID-19, schools are expected to be in session! We have decided that classroom teachers would not assign individual lessons, but we would offer school-wide family choice activities. Since traditional family vacations are on hold to promote social distancing, we are offering some “stay-cation” ideas.
We have created a SAINT Bingo card filled with various activities and challenges such as virtual field trips to zoos, farms, aquariums, castles; outdoor activities; Earth Day activities; story times, Arts & Crafts, STEM activities; etc
The school-wide family “assignment” is to choose one event/activity/challenge a day, and tell us about it. You can journal for the week, or share pictures, or any creative way to show us how you spent your Spring Break! You may report daily or at the end of the week! We will make a display at school to share all of those wonderful new memories you are creating! Of course, you are welcome to do as many activities as you would like. Please send all “assignments” to Mrs. Margrey or Mrs. Clarkson.
May you and your family have a peace-filled and joyous Easter!
Mrs. Margrey
