Divine Mercy Sunday  is the day that Our Lord promised that he would pour out his divine mercy on all people. “As a gift to humanity, which sometimes seems bewildered by the power of evil, selfishness, and fear, the Risen Lord offers his love that pardons, reconciles, and reopens hearts to love. It is a love that converts hearts and gives peace. How much the world needs to understand and accept Divine Mercy!”  St. John Paul II

If you travel out of state to high-risk locations during Spring Break and/or attend gatherings, we encourage  that you try to be back at home by the morning of Wednesday after Easter (April 7), giving you 5 days before returning to school to make sure that everyone is healthy. Please refer to the following travel guidelines.

If your travel plans have you returning after April 7th, please contact Mrs. Reardon (kreardon@embersacademy.org) to receive guidance on a return-to-school date for your children.

We are appreciative of your prudent travel plans to help Embers maintain a healthy school environment for its families, faculty and staff so that we can continue offering in-person instruction. Thank you!
