During the past week, five new positive COVID-19 test results were reported to school officials. Student exposure within the school building remains at a minimum due to the diligent efforts of students and teachers who are remaining socially distanced, washing hands frequently and wearing their masks. Because of this diligence, no students or staff members have been quarantined due to close contact within our school with persons who have tested positive.
Each morning on morning announcements Principal Joe Hansen remind students to maintain a proper social distance, wash hands, and wear masks. He then follows up by reminding students to limit the amount of in-person interactions and large gatherings that they attend. This is especially important as we head into Halloween weekend where all age groups will be hosting Halloween parties and get togethers. It is of paramount importance that students avoid this type of large gathering in order to minimize the spread of COVID-19. Additionally, as flu season approaches, we must all remain vigilant in our efforts to stay safe and healthy.
Bishop Chatard's goal is to return to 100% in-person instruction at the beginning of the second semester. Click here to view the hybrid Blue/White daily schedule through December 18.
