Dear Holy Ghost Prep families,

Our first week of cyber learning is complete and the early assessments from most have been positive and upbeat. We've had administrators making check-in calls with students, a virtual town hall with seniors, and have received numerous emails with words of support. Your encouragement is very much appreciated, and your constructive feedback has been helpful in making adjustments in planning for what lies ahead.

This morning, your sons received a four-question survey via Schoology. In addition, we will continue to reach out to your sons via phone calls, group Zoom chats, and check-ins next week. Of course, students can always reach faculty through Schoology and HGP email. We welcome your feedback too.

While we continuing to iterate our strategy and tactics to deal with an unprecedented situation, we promise to keep the lessons challenging, the fun videos coming, and our HGP community strong and unified.

You will hear from us on Monday afternoon (March 23) about extending cyber learning, and then we will provide a status update on major HGP events on Wednesday, March 25.

As a Spiritan community, we continue to meet your sons where they are. The bottom line is we are here for you and your sons. And this past week has further deepened our appreciation for every member of our HGP community, for your continued partnership and support. It is good to know that we are in this together and will make our way forward, as always, with the best interest of our Holy Ghost Prep students in mind.

In One Heart and One Mind,

Gregory J. Geruson '79
