We are making plans for the rest of the year both in case we are not allowed to return and if we are allowed to return but perhaps not until May.
The Finance Director is in regular communication with families who due to job loss or furlough are in distress.
Thanks to everyone - faculty, staff, students, parents, for all of your work in moving things online.
Please take care of yourselves and your loved ones. I miss seeing everyone on a daily basis. Go Stags! One DeMatha!

DeMatha is on Spring Break from March 23 through March 30. The school would pick up on-line instruction from March 31-April 24. More detailed information will be provided in the future. We would hope to come back to face-to-face school on Monday, April 27.
During this time, all interscholastic sports are postponed as well as all in-person gatherings. The sophomore retreat and sophomore conversations are postponed and the Mother/Son luncheon is cancelled. The music trip is cancelled for this year. While we would hope that large events such as the New Student Welcome and Academic Awards Night would proceed, it may not be possible to arrange such things in a limited amount of time.
While all of this is disruptive it is not unprecedented. In the fall of 2002 we lost 7 football games, numerous soccer games and cross country meets to the Washington Area Sniper crisis. No one likes to cancel or postpone events but the best public health officials are emphasizing the need to practice social distancing as a way of mitigating the spread.
Thank you for your understanding. We will continue to post updates every couple of days.
Sincerely,
Rev. James R. Day, O.SS.T., President
