Our Lady of Lourdes Academy is monitoring media reports and heeding guidance provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Florida Department of Health regarding the
Coronavirus. Please click
HERE to read a letter from the Archdiocese of Miami's Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Kim Pryzbylski.
Although we are at low risk, the Archdiocese of Miami is taking the potential threat very seriously, and has taken precautionary measures to minimize exposure. Our team will meet early next week to review upcoming calendar events, to determine whether any changes need to be made. Please trust all decisions will be made with caution and guided by our school's priority to safeguard the health and welfare of all members of our Lourdes Academy community. More information is forthcoming.
Please be reminded that to prevent/minimize the spread of viruses and other communicable diseases, we strongly advise your daughters stay home from school, if they have a fever and/or are experiencing flu or cold symptoms. (Our personnel has been instructed to closely monitor and report students with flu-like symptoms.) Students should return to school only after they have received medical clearance. Please know our teachers will work with the girls, to ensure they make-up any missed work, upon their return to school.
Moreover, as has been communicated in your parishes, we ask members of our community to refrain from kissing and shaking hands, during the peace offering at Mass.
To promote a clean and healthy school environment, classrooms and common areas have been supplied with hand sanitizer and germicidal sprays, and our maintenance team is taking extra measures to sanitize the campus, daily.
Again, we are at low risk of exposure, and the measures being taken are strictly precautionary, to safeguard the health and welfare of all members of our school community. We are grateful for your support and cooperation.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our Assistant Principal for Student Affairs, Ms. Alexandra Prado '91 at
aprado@bobcats.olla.org.
Please trust we will continue to provide regular updates to our school community, as new information becomes available.
