New Orders from Barry Eaton Health Department
Dear Families -
Our local Health Department has issued two new orders for all public and private schools today. This morning at 11:00am, Barry/Eaton Health Department held a short meeting with all school officials explaining the new orders. The first order pertains to the isolation and quarantining guidelines for students who are exposed to COVID-19 while on school grounds. The second order deals with the universal masking mandate. These two orders go into effect on September 22, 2021.To read both orders, please click on the links below.
Mrs. Wildern will be working on updating our school policies this weekend and will hold a parent meeting via Google Meet on Monday, September 20, 2021 at 7:00pm. The link is also located below. The parent meeting will be to provide information on our updated policies and procedures in light of these new orders mandated by our local health department.

Students Attending the Cathedral Mass
The Diocese contacted Mrs. Wildern and expressed there is not enough room for schools to bring the same number of students this year as in years past. Due to COVID, they want students to be at least 3 feet apart while in the pews during Mass. Consequently, only our 8th grade students will be attending the Mass at the Cathedral on Monday.
Apologies for the inconvenience this has caused any of our students.

Lansing Catholic is holding a Prospective Parent Night on October 13, from 6:30pm - 8:30pm. To learn more about that night or a visit in general click on the Visit Lansing Catholic High School link below.

Illness Policy
We still need all parents to screen their child(ren) before they get on the bus or leave for school. Please ensure that your child(ren) do not have a temperature or have any signs of illness, Flu or COVID-19. We are no longer taking temperatures at the door so we need all parents to ensure your children have no symptoms before leaving home.
If your child is home or sent home due to an illness, they must stay home until they are symptom/fever free for 24 hours before returning to school. Any child home due to COVID-19 must follow the Barry/Eaton County Health Departments guidance before returning to school.
Everyone was so wonderful at this last year, it really saved us from having groups of children contracting any illness almost the entire year last year. Thank you for continuing this much needed protocol.
