From the Desk of Ellen Knippel, Principal

Dear Parents,

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all families on behalf of our teachers and staff, for the wonderful Teacher Appreciation goodies last week. From the beautiful flowers, delicious lunches, tasty coffee treats, and lovely notes - all were greatly appreciated! Thank you, thank you!

We have received new information from the Waukesha County Health Department regarding quarantine guidelines for exposure to Covid -19 in a school setting. Effective immediately, St. Anthony on the Lake will adhere to these new guidelines that allow students & staff to continue in-person learning in the event they are exposed to a positive case of Covid -19 at school. It is important to note that the 14 day quarantine will continue to be in place for any contact situation that occurs outside of St. Anthony on the Lake.

Please read the documents (see links below) from the Waukesha County Health Department that further explains these new and less restrictive guidelines that provides a rationale behind the changes being made. I have also included a video from Fr. Tony and Dr. Kathie Amidei to explain the Covid Matrix updates from the Archdiocese of Milwaukee.


St. Anthony on the Lake has and will continue to make the safety of students and staff our number one priority. Because of our successful mitigation measures that have been in place since day one (ie face masks, social distancing, hand washing, extra cleanings, etc.), we are able to alter our quarantine guidelines. We will continue to wear masks and follow all of our Covid-19 protocols for the remainder of the school year.

Thank you to everyone for your unwavering support throughout this school year. We have been extremely successful because we did this TOGETHER and allowed our faith to navigate these extraordinary challenges.
Blessings,

Mrs. Ellen Knippel
