Dear Saint Paul School Community,
This week Governor Baker and Commissioner Riley announced the mask mandate for schools would be lifted on February 28. Saint Paul School has not made a final decision and is consulting with our School Board, the Archdiocese of Boston and Hingham Board of Health. In addition, multiple metrics will be used to make the best decision for our school community.
· An important metric is the input of parents.
Please take a moment to complete the following 2-question survey:
Only one parent per household should complete & question 2 should only be answered if your
response to question 1 was "NO." I am extending the deadline to complete to
Sunday February 13 at noon as we want to hear from you!
· If your child is vaccinated, please make sure we have a copy of the Vaccination Card in the
Health Office. This is one very important metric we need to consider.
· Another metric is travel over the February Break.
Please complete the Travel Form BEFORE going on this break.
We will release a decision when we feel confident all metrics have been considered.
Congratulations to our Saint Paul Award winners! I was disappointed to miss this liturgy and presentation as I was on a call with the Catholic Schools Office regarding the lifting of the mask mandate in schools. More information to follow.
Today 35 students applying to Preschool through Kindergarten were screened for admission! Please complete your reenrollment forms ASAP! Next week we will be screening students for Grade 1 through 8 and making final decisions for March 1 admissions.

A new offering for students entering Grade 3-4… Counselor in Training (CIT) Program!
This is a great opportunity to offer some of our young people a chance to develop leadership skills while working with children in our camp setting, in a hands-on way while under supervision.
As an "SPS CIT" you would help devise and plan games and activities with our camp teachers while of course having fun yourself! Please use the following link for more information and to register: https://payit.nelnet.net/form/p0pOUzdv
Last week I announced music teacher Ms. Alana Sennett will be leaving us on February 14. She has accepted a position in the Brockton Public Schools. Our music program is coordinated through young World and they are working to secure a new teacher for Saint Paul School. As soon as an appointment has been made, I will make a formal announcement.
Thank you to The McKinnell Family for a faculty luncheon from BoLoco this week!
