As you already know, we have had to move learning at Notre Dame de Lourdes School to your home. Notre Dame de Lourdes, as well as the rest of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia school community, are using digital tools to continue to educate your child. While each teacher may have different preferences in how to carry this out, lesson plans and assignments will be sent to each student, and teachers may utilize resources such as Flipgrid, Google Classroom and Zoom to create a more communal feel while we are separated at home. 

Please check here for more resources regarding digital distance learning.

Additionally, Pennsylvania’s State Library System offers various electronic resources through the Power Library. To access, you will need either your local public library card number or you can create a Power Library ecard number. We ask that you sign up with a personal email when creating an ecard. 

It is important to help your child stay on top of their school work, their learning in the classroom and outside of the classroom and encourage them to continue reading and finding other activities to help them through this difficult time.

Stay safe, stay well and stay informed!
