Safety Update -Nov. 1-5

This week, we had no new cases or quarantines. Be assured that if your daughter could potentially be impacted by someone who tests positive, you will be informed as soon as possible. A reminder that quarantine means that students are not allowed to come to school, it also means they should not have contact with others beyond their family outside of school. We are not only trying to protect Ursuline but trying to be a part of the community solution as well.

Numbers as they stand today (at least one dose of COVID vaccine):
Students: 66.1%
Co-workers: 92.%

STUDENTS, PARENTS AND CO-WORKERS are invited to donate 5-7 inches of hair to the Clean Wave Project (use your hair to clean up oil in the ocean) or 8 or more inches to Children with Hair Loss.

These touch-up hair appointments cannot be made during the afternoon of that school day. All you need to do is fill out this hair donation permission formand turn it into Campus Ministry by November 16. Mrs. Weston and members of the planning committee will be in the cafe on Tuesday, November 9 to answer any of your questions! Sign up for your appointment time here!
