2020-21 School Year Weekly E-News
Week of September 20
IMPORTANT REMINDERS – PLEASE READ
  • Masks must be worn at all times in the building. 

  • Please monitor everyone in your household for symptoms of COVID-19 and self-quarantine, as needed. Anyone who exhibits COVID-19 like symptoms or tests positive for COVID-19 is asked to contact Patty McCarthy, School Nurse, at (224) 475-1552 or pmccarthy@stpatrick.org.

  • Students who exhibit COVID-19 like symptoms, or have been exposed to someone who tests positive for COVID-19 or is experiencing COVID-19 like symptoms, should remain home. If your son is not attending school on his scheduled In-Person Learning day (even if he is Remote Learning), parents are asked to notify Mary Gibson, Attendance Officer, at ext. 240.

  • Avoid large gatherings and parties.

  • Limit travel. If you travel to one of the areas on the City of Chicago's Emergency Travel Order (Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee and Utah), students will be required to self-quarantine for 14 days prior to attending to In-Person Learning. Parents should contact Sergio Muro, Director of Student Services, at smuro@stpatrick.org if your son needs to self-quarantine and discuss a plan for Remote Learning during this time.

  • Provide honest and accurate information to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 in our school community. If you are contacted by a member of the Saint Patrick administration or Nurse Patty McCarthy for contact tracing purposes, we ask that you please cooperate to help contain any positive or probable COVID-19 cases and the need for us, as a school, to return to full Remote Learning.
