"Inspiring students to love God, their Catholic faith and learning" |
|
The below policy was updated starting on March 14th, 2022. The below policy will supersede any previous policy regarding Covid for the items below.
Dear Parents,
After reviewing our Covid numbers and seeing decreased numbers in our school community we can continue to reduce some mitigation measures. Limited visitors may be allowed for special events on an invitational basis. Students will now remain in the cafeteria for morning care or be directed to the cafeteria until 7:35 AM. Masking in the school building will continue to be parents' choice for their child. As ever, I appreciate the support and patience our school community has shown throughout the year. We will continue to monitor and adjust as necessary.
Any masking in the school building or parish grounds will be parent choice unless a student is notified by the school nurse/office.
Mark T. Veit
Director of Student Affairs and Athletics

An unjust war is never a solution to disagreement among nations. The callous disregard for the sanctity of human life and the necessity of a just society scars the human family and wounds the souls of those who perpetuate violence.
Let us join all people of goodwill in praying for a softening of the hearts of those who are inflicting so much suffering upon the citizens of Ukraine. We also pray for those in leadership, that they may have the wisdom to know how to build peace and the fortitude to persevere in their efforts.
-Bishop W. Shawn McKnight
