Please see the following statement from the Catholic Schools Office:
We all have a role to play in protecting our community from getting and spreading respiratory illnesses like coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The safety and wellness of our students is always our highest priority. We want to be vigilant in our efforts to follow the protocols that have been outlined by the CDC and local health officials in our management of the day to day operations of our schools. The Archdiocese remains in contact with local, state and federal health agencies, all of which have stated that no action is required of schools at this time. Until such action is deemed necessary, there are no plans to close schools.
