Dear Bishop McCort Community:

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your understanding and support as we continue to make our way through a school year like no other. Bishop McCort Catholic High School has truly set the standard in our state for adapting the day-to-day operations to meet the needs of students, families and staff. We have remained steadfast in our efforts to make sure that Bishop McCort students received the same quality education that has been our tradition for nearly 100 years.

Providing students and families the option of in-person or virtual instruction has given families the freedom to navigate through difficult times while preserving educational integrity. After close evaluation of our region’s COVID-19 trends, as well as increased vaccine availability, Bishop McCort will return to a full in-person learning environment beginning Monday, March 29, 2021. The last day of virtual instruction will be Thursday, March 25, 2021.

The return to in-school classes during the fourth marking period is an important transition for students to prepare for the 2021-22 academic year. Students not reporting to school on Monday, March 29 will be marked absent. Alternate learning options may be made for students who test positive for COVID-19 or have extenuating circumstances. The administration will evaluate all exceptions on a case by case basis.  If your child is showing symptoms of COVID-19, please contact the administration.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Main Office at (814) 536-8991.

Respectfully,

Thomas A. Smith, Principal/CAO
