Students should be prepared with multiple masks solid in color and personal hand sanitizer for In-Person Learning days. Students should be reminded to wash their hands frequently and stay to the right in hallways, maintaining social distance as much as possible.
-
Remember Dress Code for In-Person Learning days consists of khaki colored and style shorts or khaki style pants with Saint Patrick polo and belt. Gym shoes are permitted. School ID's must be worn with school-issued lanyards at all times during In-Person Learning. Students should see Coach Guerra in the Cafeteria during their assigned Lunch Period to replace a lost ID.
