Safety Update - April 18-22
This week we had two positive cases. 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%
National Earth Day
April 22, 2022
The Ursuline Sisters of the Roman Union invite you to take a deeper look at the Laudato Si Action Platform, the 7-year planning process to which the Ursuline Sisters have committed. This stems from Pope Francis’s 2015 encyclical, Laudato Si, that calls on Church, educational institutions, religious orders, families, organizations, health care institutions and businesses to take bold steps in their institutional/individual lives to protect the planet. Learn more at laudatosiactionplatform.org
