Next week, January 18 – 21, students will be in school for full days with lunch in their classrooms. Lunch service will be available, but there will be no aftercare next week. Aftercare will return on Monday, January 24.
At school:
- We continue to clean and disinfect the entire St. Rose of Lima campus as per CDC guidance.
- Masks are required to be worn in school, and the use of KF94 and N95 masks is highly recommended. Masks are readily available for all students, teachers, and staff at the front desk.
- Desk barriers will remain in place.
- Please submit proof of COVID-19 vaccination for any student who has been vaccinated to Nurse Zuckerman (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.).
- If you traveled outside of NY, NJ, CT, DE or PA, you must complete a COVID questionnaire upon your return. Your child will be sent home if it is brought to our attention that you have traveled.
To date, four middle school students have tested positive over the last three weeks. This information was relayed to our nurse and local Board of Health, as is required and always complied with by SRLA. The recommendation is for only the student and their immediate family to quarantine from school. Thank you for understanding that, due to medical privacy laws, we are not able to release the name of the individuals with COVID-19.
If as a parent you feel that you would like to have your child tested, please do so!
How can parents and guardians help prevent COVID-19 from spreading?
- If your child is sick, keep them home.
- Make sure members of your household wash their hands often using soap and water for 20 seconds.
- Make sure every member of your household covers their coughs and sneezes with a tissue or their elbow, and then washes their hands afterwards.
- Wear a mask when you cannot stay 3 feet apart from other people.
We will continue to communicate changes and updates with you. Thank you for your understanding. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me.
Many thanks,
Principal Underwood
