Safety Update - March 28-April 1
This week we had one positive case. 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: 72.00%
- Co-workers: 93.8%

The only senior parents who attend are alumnae mothers for this initiation ceremony. The seniors have been asked to fill out this sheet with the name of their alumnae sponsor(s) by May 6, but you may add names as well. Students who have no alumnae who can attend will be sponsored by Alumnae Staff members.
