St. Laurence School knows keeping your children occupied with engaging, educational, and fun activities once they finish their school work proves to be harder the longer we remain at home to do our part fighting COVID-19. We invite you to check out this list of
live streams that will give you some time to yourself and provide an activity for your kids.
While St. Laurence School is an elementary school educating students from Pre-K to Eighth grade, our hope is that our students continue their high school education at a Catholic High School within the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, like St. Hubert’s Catholic School for Girls.
The Technology Team from the Archdiocesan Office of Catholic Education (OCE) plans to distribute 720 Chromebooks to parish schools in the Philadelphia community. The opportunity to support those in need was made possible by the
Philadelphia School Partnership (PSP). Chromebooks, a Google product, feature the Google platform that provides various free applications that enable teachers and students to work together online and interact effectively. This includes email, group calendars, shared documents and presentations, and video calls.
Archbishop Nelson J. Perez released a
special Easter message to the Philadelphia and surrounding region. In it, he celebrates Jesus’ return and life under COVID-19.
It is with a heavy heart St. Laurence School must announce that the state of Pennsylvania ordered all schools to remain closed through the remainder of the 2019-2020 school year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Preparing for a crisis of this magnitude never crossed anyone’s mind, but St. Laurence School and the rest of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia demonstrated the ability to react proactively.
