2023- 2024 School year protocols
DPH and DESI recommend vaccinations and boosters to continue to combat COVID-19. Saint Mary School is in support of this recommendation, but COVID-19 vaccinations and boosters are NOT mandatory.
Saint Mary School buildings will maintain appropriate ventilation practices. Windows will be opened, as weather permits, to increase air flow. Good hand hygiene will continue to be expected and practiced by all students, faculty, and staff. Families are also encouraged to promote and maintain good hand hygiene.
Saint Mary School will adjust published guidelines as the pandemic evolves and greatly appreciates the support of students, parents/guardians, faculty, staff and the community in supporting school efforts to reduce the transmission risk and the actual incidence of COVID-19.
Supporting guidelines can be found here.
