Dear St. Andrew Parents,
I hope all had a great week and that you were able to enjoy some of the warmer weather we had the last few days!
Please remember that Monday we begin our Mask Optional Plan at Saint Andrew. If you have not had a chance to read the letter we sent Wednesday night, please take a few minutes to review it. The most important items are:
- Do not send sick students to school.
- If your child tests positive, there is a household positive, or an exposure, contact school administration as soon as possible.
- Those in quarantine protocols must wear their masks to school and any school events for the required timelines.
- Federal Law still requires masks on school buses, so please do not forget that.
If we reach any of the thresholds that require masking, we will send an email and phone call to notify that group of students’ parents.
Thanks, and have a great weekend!
