Weather Reminders!

Weather Reminders

St. Cecilia Cathedral Grade School and Child Care follow the decision of the Omaha Catholic Schools office for weather-related closings and late starts.  

 

In the event of inclement weather, please watch WOWT, KETV-7, KMTV-3, KPTM FOX, and Omaha World Herald’s website for “Omaha Catholic Schools,” followed by either NO SCHOOL or 2-HOUR LATE START.  You can also follow us on Facebook and/or Twitter.

NO SCHOOL - All classes, after school activities, and sport practices are cancelled for the day.  The St. Cecilia Cathedral Child Care will also be closed.  If your child has a sporting event scheduled on the night of a cancelled day of school (i.e., basketball game), you will need to be in communication with your son/daughter’s coach to see if the game is also cancelled.  

 

2-HOUR LATE START - This is a new policy that Omaha Public Schools (OPS) and therefore Omaha Catholic Schools are implementing this year.  If you see the announcement of “Omaha Catholic Schools - 2 HOUR LATE START,” then all classes (PreK-8th grade) will start at 10:00 AM. This means that drop off begins at 9:45 AM.  The Child Care Center would also be opening at 10:00 AM.

 

This new 2-hour late start will have some bugs that we’ll have to work out as we go.  We will still be ordering lunch from Westside but we have been told that it may affect the lunch times a bit.  As soon as we experience and go through the process, I’ll communicate how lunch times will work on those late start days. 

 

We have also been informed that OPS may utilize an early release schedule in the event that an impending weather event might compromise safe travel.  We WILL NOT be following that announcement so if you feel as though you need to pick your child up early from school, we support that decision.  

 

Praying for a safe (and warm) winter season!  

 

Blessings,

Mrs. Pick

Giving Tuesday!

This year’s #GivingTuesday proceeds will be designated to the purchase of equipment and software for the planned STEAM Lab/Media Center at Saint Cecilia Cathedral School. We want our children to be the best prepared students in Omaha to achieve great things in high school and beyond.

Our goal is to raise $25,000 to get the program off and running. Our STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) & Media Center will give them experience and enable them to excel.
