Dear Parents and Guardians,

By now, you may be aware of the upcoming changes for indoor masking requirements for 11 Bay Area counties in the State of California, beginning February 16.

However, these indoor mask requirements do not apply to TK-12 school systems. The California Department of Public Health continues to require masking in K-12 school settings. The CDPH indicated adjustments to the state's policies will be shared in the coming weeks. We will continue to work under the direction of the San Francisco Department of Public Health, the Archdiocese of San Francisco and the Department of Catholic Schools for requirements and next steps for indoor and outdoor masking.

Thank you for all you are doing to support and keep your children safe and healthy!
In Case You Missed It

It is with great enthusiasm that the Archdiocese of San Francisco announces the appointment of Mr. Tim Reardon as the new President of Archbishop Riordan High School. Mr. Reardon’s appointment comes after a rigorous search process and months of discernment. The process confirmed that Mr. Reardon has the qualities that best meet the needs of Riordan at this vital juncture in the school’s history.

Signing Day!

A big congrats to Brandon Bigler '22. Yesterday, surrounded by both his family and Riordan family, Brandon signed his letter of intent to wrestle at the next level at Colorado State University Pueblo. Older brother, Michael Bigler '20, wrestles for San Francisco State University. The Bigler brothers have been wrestling since they could walk and the journey to get an official offer from any collegiate program, let alone sign a letter of intent is not an easy one. Congratulations to Brandon and congratulations to the Bigler family!

We wish our wrestling team the best of luck this Saturday as they compete at the WCAL Championships at St. Francis. Go Crusaders!
