Dear St. Andrew Parents,

I hope you had a great week and were able to enjoy the weather.

Please check out the bulleted information below as there are quite a few new additions.

Although we have not seen a major uptick in positive Covid cases in the school, we are seeing a lot more household positives from parents and especially older siblings. As the weather improves, vaccines accelerate, and we all want to be around our loved ones, cases have risen slightly in our area. Please continue to monitor your children’s health and symptoms each day to make sure we are not sending children that have Covid symptoms to school. If they have symptoms, even if it is allergies, please consult your doctor. Testing is a lot more accessible, and results come back much quicker now.  In the above mentioned household positive cases, some certainly have come from unknown sources, but most continue to come from large gatherings and not following safety protocols. Please continue to be mindful of the type of gatherings you are attending and the safety protocols in place.

Thanks again for all of your support, and have a great weekend!
