Dear St. Edward Families, 

St. Edward has been certified by the Archdiocese to reopen!  The final plan, which can be found in the link below, includes all of our health and safety and academic reopening plans as well as information on the staggered arrival and dismissal procedures and the alternate schedule the first week of school.  In addition to strongly adhering to the guidelines stipulated by the Archdiocese of Chicago, the St. Edward School reopening teams have designed the following plan specific to address the unique needs of our campus and community. 

It is important for families to carefully read all documents published by the Archdiocese of Chicago as St. Edward will be strictly following the protocols. Our reopening plan outlines specific protocols unique to the building and community of St. Edward School. 

I know these are challenging times and returning our children to school presents a myriad of questions and emotions. It is my sincere hope that by reading our reopening plan that you find comfort in the fact that the safety of our children and staff is our top priority. Many people have asked me "what do you really think of returning to 5 day a week in person instruction?" My response is simple, I believe that our children need to be back in school. More importantly, I know that we can fully implement this plan to keep both students and staff members safe. Nothing is more important to me than the safety of our children and staff. I also fully support that during these times parents must weigh individual family decisions about returning to school. For that reason, it is imperative that all families carefully read the plan and follow the protocols-we are truly all in this together. 

Thank you in advance for your careful attention to this document.
