NEW OUTSIDE MASKING GUIDELINES AS OF MAY 24TH
With the CDC and the local health departments changing their position on masks for students when outside we were advised that we may alter our policy and allow our students to not wear masks during outdoor recess, outside PE classes, outside activities and Field Day. This will
begin on Monday, May 24th .
All indoor mask requirements remain in place which includes school arrival, classrooms,
dismissal, and bus transportation. Please know that we support the guidance from the
Archdiocese in easing restrictions resulting from COVID-19 pandemic while also maintaining
the health and safety of our entire school community.
As always, the health and safety of our students are our top priority. I thank you for your
cooperation, patience, and constant support.

WHEN THIS IS OVER
When this is over,
may we never again take for granted
a handshake with a stranger
conversations with neighbors
a crowded theater
Friday night out
the taste of Communion
a routine checkup
the school rush each morning
coffee with a friend
the stadium roaring
each deep breath
a boring Tuesday
life itself.
When this ends,
may we find that we have become
more like the people we wanted to be,
we were called to be,
we hoped to be.
And may we stay that way – better for each other because of the worst.
