Hello!
I hope you’ll join us for the first session of the Parent Speaker Series, a series of conversations held throughout the year to bring parents (and sometimes their daughters) together to learn about and discuss current topics. This informative presentation by the team at Addiction is Real has two parts: individual viewing of the video and the virtual panel discussion on October 6. Please see the details below. The video is available for viewing to our families free of charge when you follow the instructions below. The panel is designed for discussion among parents. Contact Vita Stemlau at vstremlau@ursulinestl.org with any questions.
All my best,
Peggy Slater

Safety Update -Sept. 27-Oct. 1
This week, we had no new cases or quarantines. 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: 64.5%
- Co-workers: 90.5%
