As the holidays approach and families are making plans to potentially travel, please remember that Ave Maria Academy's policy remains in line with the PA Department of Health and CDC guidelines regarding travel. These policies are designed to protect the health of our children, our staff, and our community. If you or a member of your household has traveled or plans to travel, to an area where there are high amounts of COVID-19 cases, it is required that you stay at home for 14 days upon return to Pennsylvania and prior to returning to school.

On Tuesday November 17th, AMA students collected donations and spare change totaling over $9,000 to show appreciation for their teachers and to raise money for the KDKA-TV Turkey Fund. The winning teachers are Mrs. Kutchell - Mt. Lebanon third grade and Mr. Paschke - Bethel Park 5th grade. The donation will be made in honor of all essential workers and will benefit the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank.

The Diocese held a meeting with elementary school Principals and Athletic Directors on Thursday, November 4, 2020 and announced the postponement to the start of the elementary school Winter sports season until early January. Schools may continue to hold intramural practices and events, but there will be no interscholastic events (tournaments and scrimmages with teams outside Ave Maria Academy) until January. The stated reason for the delay relates to the current increase in COVID-19 cases and the potential impact of the holiday season further increasing those cases. For boys’ basketball, this amounts to a 1 to 2-week delay to the start of league section play. For the girls’ basketball league, this amounts to the 4 to 5-week delay since the girls start section play in early December. Both leagues will play a full season and end in late March. The Diocese has promised to supply more details in the next few days. We will pass that along as soon as we get it.
