Safety Update - March 7-11

This week we had one positive case. 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: 70.67%
Co-workers: 92.0%
