First graders at Francis McClure made Christmas cards to give to all of the patients/residents of Kane Hospital. A lot of work went into the cards and they were very excited to show their Christmas kindness!

Students in Mr. Watson’s room, at Francis McClure, got into the holiday spirit this week! They used 3D printing pens to design and create their own ornaments. Nice work!

As the COVID-19 cases continue to surge in Allegheny County, we have seen a slight rise in cases within our buildings. We still have not met the thresholds set forth to us from PDE, in any of our buildings, that would require us to close our doors. However, we recognize the anxiety and frustration that families are experiencing. We would like to share the following plans with you. The following dates are now virtual instruction days for all students: Monday, December 14 (On T...uesday (12/15), students will return in-person for the remainder of the week!) Monday, December 21 Tuesday, December 22 Wednesday, December 23 We hope that by doing this it will rejuvenate you and your families, while welcoming back our students into the buildings on January 4, 2021. ********** Edited to clarify: Monday, December 14: Virtual Tuesday, December 15: In-person Wednesday, December 16: In-person Thursday, December 17: In-person Friday, December 18: In-person Monday, December 21: Virtual Tuesday, December 22: Virtual Wednesday, December 23: Virtual
