In closing, I wanted to address the topic of masks and our plan for 2021-2022. Our current plan is to make masks optional for all students, faculty and staff. We are both optimistic and excited to be back to a closer state of “normal” next year. Please keep in mind, however, that we reserve the right to make changes to our instructional plan between now and August and beyond. We will remain adaptable, nimble and flexible in our decision making process as we were this past year and make the necessary decisions to keep everyone safe and to provide an exceptional learning experience for our students. 

We are excited for the possibilities for 2021-2022 and look forward to seeing you in the coming months. We realize you have many choices on where to send your child to school, and we want to thank you for choosing Bishop Kelly High School. It's going to be another fantastic year!
