Keeping Us Safe Together And Reducing The Spread

Please remember that if your child is exhibiting any symptoms related to COVID-19, including sniffles, cough, stomach ache, fever, vomiting, diarrhea, etc. he/she should stay home. We ask that those who are ill with any COVID symptoms consider testing by a recognized medical provider regardless of the individual's vaccine status prior to his/her return. This has helped us to minimize the spread of the virus here at Holy Cross. Short-term quarantines are proving effective in reducing the spread as well. We are committed to a frequent review of our Holy Cross COVID Site Plan and will make adjustments as necessary. Thank you for your cooperation and diligence!
