We are experiencing a transition in the Finance Department, with an interim team in place as we conduct the search for a new Director of Finance & Operations. We will be making a few adjustments to Smart Tuition accounts before the next time payments are due. If you have any questions or need assistance with your payments, please contact Teresa Lange at tlange@ursulinestl.org. Thank you and I apologize for any confusion or inconvenience.

Safety Update - Aug. 30-Sept. 3
This week, no students tested positive for Covid-19. 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: 60.4%
Co-workers: 90.5%
In earlier communication, we committed to a review of covid policies at the beginning of each month and communication to you with any updates. We continue to participate in weekly conference calls with medical experts and our peer schools, during which local/state/national trends are discussed along with recommended protocols. For now, the requirement to wear a mask while in campus buildings remains in place.
Technology update:
Google is making major changes to how under 18 users will access Youtube content. As of September 1, 2021 students logged into an Ursuline account will no longer be able to create videos and upload to Youtube along with limited ability to engage content creators on the platform.
