Changes are coming to several schools under the Archdiocese of New York as part of a new renewal plan in the Hudson Valley.<\/p>\n
Officials say Sacred Heart School in Hartsdale and Most Precious Blood School in Walden will close at the end of the school year. The school\u2019s superintendent says the plan is aimed at sustaining and strengthening Catholic education across the archdiocese.<\/p>\n
Leaders hope students will continue their Catholic school education at nearby schools. Principals and enrollment teams will work with families over the next few months to help with the transition.<\/p>\n
In addition, St. Anthony\u2013St. Paul School in Nanuet\/Valley Cottage will consolidate into one campus at St. Anthony Parish in Nanuet.<\/p>\n
According to a letter sent to families, the transition will not disrupt student registration. It also states the Nanuet campus has the space and resources necessary to accommodate all students.<\/p>\n
News 12 spoke with families in Nanuet.<\/p>\n
“I don’t think there’s anything much we can do about it,\u201d said one grandmother who was picking up her granddaughter. \u201cI think numbers are going down, and I want the best education for these wonderful little pre-k kids.”<\/p>\n
“I think Catholic school education is important,\u201d said Derik, an older brother who was picking up his sister.<\/p>\n
The superintendent\u2019s office says more updates and resources will be shared with families as the renewal plan moves forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Changes are coming to several schools under the Archdiocese of New York as part of a new renewal…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":166783,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[5555,56756,68412,68413,9,24,55,54,56,9331,68415,68414,35862],"class_list":["post-166782","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york-city","tag-archdiocese-of-new-york","tag-catholic-school","tag-hartsdale","tag-nanuet","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-new-york-city-headlines","tag-new-york-city-news","tag-ny","tag-rockland-county","tag-school-closure","tag-valley-cottage","tag-walden"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/166782","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=166782"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/166782\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/166783"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=166782"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=166782"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=166782"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
