Information Regarding our Return to Campus (Tuesday, February 1)
In order for your child to return, he/she MUST provide a negative PCR, antigen, or at-home Covid test taken no sooner than Thursday, January 27, 2022. Please email the test results to the school office NO LATER THAN MONDAY, JAN 31, 2022.
Students, Staff, and Faculty who have recently recovered from Covid-19 (within the last 90 days) are exempt from testing. The office will require proof of the positive Covid test result, which clearly shows the date, so that the quarantine period can be verified, or a doctor's note of clearance, which states that it is safe for the individual to be back on campus.
Other notes:
- Parents may choose an online school option for the rest of the 2021-2022 school year.
- All students who are eligible are encouraged to get the Covid-19 vaccine/booster.
- Students must wear surgical or KN95 masks which have a pinch wire for the nose area.
- Students must wear masks indoors AND outdoors, unless eating or drinking.

You must sign and submit a consent form in order to authorize testing for your child.
Testing begins on Thursday, January 27 from 1p-4p at STA School Parish Hall. Online school will end this day at 12:00p in order to give staff and students time to get to school for testing. Parents may be present with their child for this test. Results will be ready the same day.
*Weekly testing will take place for all students/staff on campus every Thursday, between 1p-4p. Students/staff who are registered for testing will go straight to the hall (after lunch) to be tested. If you would like to be present with your child during testing, you can park in the front lot at 3:00p and walk them to the testing in the hall.
*This test will be an antigen nasal swab test. If the test result is positive, a saliva based PCR test will be administered to send to a lab to confirm the positive result.
*Any students who are remaining online and wish to get tested weekly can do so, between 3p-4p on Thursdays in the Parish Hall. Please make sure to register your child before beginning testing.
