We are truly looking forward to seeing all our students on campus this coming week. Mask-wearing indoors has been mandated by our County Health Department, but masks are optional outdoors. We found throughout the past year that masking was a helpful component in preventing the spread of COVID-19 on-campus. Though not mandated, we will be encouraging students to maintain a safe space when they are outdoors and not masked.
As a reminder, we will not be using the pre-screen app for entrance to campus but, please, if you are experiencing COVID symptoms or do not feel well, please stay home and work with Schoology assignments and reach out to your teachers as needed. Updated COVID-19 policies can be found online and in the student handbook.
Drop-off and pick-up are in the same place as last year, behind the Convent in the back parking area with the solar shading. Pease do not stop and drop off in the front of the school as this creates a dangerous backup on Treat Blvd.
Again, we cannot wait to see everyone next week as we begin our 2021-22 school year!
