FROM the desk of MRS. SCHWEITZER



For the next two weeks, we begin to focus on a different Corporal Work of Mercy: visiting the imprisoned. Hebrews 13:3 says, “Be mindful of prisoners as if sharing their imprisonment, and of the illtreated as of yourselves, for you also are in the body.” We should not forget about our neighbors who might be physically and spiritually imprisoned. We are called to help them in some way.



COVID-19

Attached is communication from the Diocese regarding our return to school date of January 4^th.   I have also included updated COVID-19 Back to School Requirements for your review.  As Mrs. McGuire indicates, we are planning an in-person return on January 4th.   She also points out the importance of family reporting throughout the Christmas break and upon our return.  The following information should be communicated to school via email ([email protected]) during the break and to the school office upon our return on January 4^th.

• Student positive cases
• Household positive cases
• Close-contact quarantines from outside the household
• Travel Plans outside of the state of Kentucky

Below is a summary of the changes to the COVID-19 Back to School Requirements.  A new section has been added to address the recent quarantine options that were announced by the CDC and the Kentucky Department of Health.  This section begins on page 16.  Please read through the procedures and let me know if you have any questions. 

There were a few other minor updates within the document and they are detailed below and highlighted in the attachment:

• Field Trips/Assemblies/School Visitors (p. 10) – These will remain canceled until further notice.
• Elementary Sports (p. 12) – Updated to reflect the new winter practice dates and that spring sports will be permitted according to the guidelines.
• Family Trips (p. 13) – The mandatory travel quarantine will remain in effect.  The change is that we are allowing the new quarantine options.
• Updated Quarantine Guidance (p. 16) – Outlines the new quarantine options and how our schools will be implementing them.

Also, a reminder that if anyone in the household may have COVID-19 or is going to be tested for COVID-19 then all the household members should stay home and not attend school or other activities.  The family members should remain isolated at home while awaiting the test results.    

Blessings,

Mrs. Schweitzer
