With this information and wanting to use an abundance of caution, particularly due to predicted winds and ice formation swiftly first thing in the morning, administration has determined that Friday, December 23, 2022, will be a Flexible Instruction Day for Cathedral Preparatory School. What does this mean? On a flexible instruction day:
- Students will NOT report to school.
- Students will receive information from their teachers (via email or Microsoft Teams) about expectations/assignments for the day.
- Completion of assignments will confirm their participation/attendance for that school day.
