Grades 7 & 8 Return to Campus Plan
Dear St. Serra Parents,

The information below is the Grades 7 & 8 Return to Campus Plan. We will move forward with this plan unless we hear otherwise from local health and state officials:

Live Streaming Students 
Live classroom streaming students in grades 7 and 8 will continue to join their classes via Zoom link on Canvas. Regular school hours will apply from 7:40 a.m. - 2:40 p.m. (these are the times on your child’s FACTS schedule).    

In-Person Students
St. Serra will welcome 7th and 8th grade students for in-person instruction on September 22nd. Our vision for returning to campus is to “crawl before we walk”. Therefore, on September 22nd and 23rd, we will have approximately half of our Grades 7 & 8 students on campus each day. This will allow our teachers and staff the time to teach students the protocols and safety procedures we have developed. 

For September 22nd and 23rd, we will divide students as follows:
  • Grades 7 & 8 students with last names A - K  
  • September 22nd will be on campus for a full day, in-person with regular school hours of 7:40 a.m. - 2:40 p.m.
  • On September 23rd, students will Zoom into their classrooms via Zoom link on Canvas with regular school hours of 7:40 a.m. - 2:40 p.m.

  • Grades 7 & 8 students with last names L - Z  
  • On September 22nd students will Zoom into their classroom via a Zoom link on Canvas with regular school hours of 7:40 a.m. - 2:40 p.m.
  • September 23rd will be on campus for a full day, in-person with regular school hours of 7:40 a.m. - 2:40 p.m.

On Thursday, September 24th:
All in-person 7th & 8th grade students will be on campus for a full day, in-person with regular school hours of 7:40 a.m. - 2:40 p.m. Live streaming students will continue to join their classes via a Zoom link on Canvas with regular school hours of 7:40 a.m. - 2:40 p.m. (these are the times on your child’s FACTS schedule and not the times we used while on distance learning).

ALL students must have their immunizations up to date. Any student who has not fulfilled their immunization and/or physical exam requirements will be sent to the Health Room and parents will be contacted to pick up their child immediately. Students will only be allowed to return to school when all of their requirements are met. No exceptions or extensions. 
Traffic Information - Morning Drop-off / Afternoon Pick-up

When dropping off, please roll down your window so our staff can conduct a temperature check and ensure your child is wearing a face mask. Please demonstrate patience during this time as we get your child on to campus in a safe manner.
We look forward to welcoming back our 7th and 8th graders back to St. Serra!
Inspiring a deep faith, innovative mind, and caring heart through Christ...Siempre Adelante
