Dear Preschool Parents,
We wish to communicate to you about the important mask policy of First Presbyterian Church and how this relates to the preschool. We understand that your families, as well as our church, have been challenged to maintain health and safety of all in view of the threat posed by COVID -19. All decisions made by church leadership have been focused on the health and well-being of church staff, preschool children and teachers, and congregants.
During the surge in the Delta variant of the COVID virus, our leadership decided on the following: Masks will be required for all adults regardless of vaccination status, while inside the church buildings. Masks worn by children will be at the discretion of the parents. This policy applies to all activities on church grounds. Also, note that our COVID Task Force is actively engaged in reviewing data and will recommend updates to our Mask Policy as warranted.
Unfortunately, this decision has created conflict within our preschool staff. The Session is working to reduce the impact of this conflict. We feel your frustration and are saddened by these events. We are making every attempt to resolve the issues that confront us in order to open the school on September 1st.
In a few days, we will be providing you an update on the progress of efforts to keep our doors open. Our priority is providing your children with an excellent education in a safe and loving Christian environment. We are in constant prayer that the health of the school be restored and renewed. We ask that you join us in this prayer. We thank God for you and your children and it is our hope that we can continue and maintain our relationship.
The Session of First Presbyterian Church
