PPRP UPDATE:
Our Pandemic Protocol and Readiness Planning committee met last week, and under the guidance and direction of both MDH and the Archdiocese, made some changes. Check out our updated Infographic HERE. These changes are effective Monday, March 15. The biggest change is our arrival time. We have become efficient enough with safe protocols, and we are excited to return to what has historically been our arrival time pre-pandemic: 8:40 AM. Please take note of this change. The Word of the Day is still a requirement. As a reminder, the intent is that parents fill out the COVID safety questionnaire the day of, to ensure we follow all COVID regulations and contact-tracing measures. We pull reports from this form regularly, and each entry is time-stamped. Please follow the Honor System as you continue to fill out this form. We appreciate your diligence with this protocol.
Vaccines:
The MDH recently updated its requirements regarding vaccines. Two weeks after receiving the second vaccination, if an individual comes in direct contact with a COVID-positive case, they will not have to quarantine for the required 10 days. Proof of vaccinations is required. This applies mostly to our teachers and staff, and other essential workers who have received the vaccine; there are no changes to protocols for our students.
Face Shields:
As our staff nears 100% vaccination rates, some teachers might opt to wear a face shield in class, to ensure our students are getting the best possible education experience by being able to observe critical nonverbals (especially important in early elementary grades when learning to read). Each teacher will have the option, two weeks after their second vaccination, to choose between a mask and a clear plastic face shield. This is a change for vaccinated staff only, and a mask or shield is always required.
We are proud of our school and look forward to more exciting things to come our way! Check out the great that is happening daily on our school website and follow us on Facebook.
