Covid-19 Virus Status

We will list all updates here along with suggestions regarding Covid-19 precautions.

After a challenging 2020-21 School Year, things are beginning to return to normal regarding the Covid-19 virus.

We must stay vigilant  especially with regards to high-risk students and staff as well as any changes to infection rates, potential variants of the virus and other medical / scientific changes in status.

On July 20, 2021, the Archdiocese of Chicago announced guidelines for the upcoming school year as we return to full pre-pandemic, near-normal operations.

You can see the full release by clicking here.

Some major points include :

• School Masses will resume.
• There will no longer be cohorts; however, every classroom will maintain an assigned seating chart since any necessary quarantines will be limited to only the students in closest proximity to any COVID-19-positive student (i.e., fellow students seated in front, back, left or right).
• All extracurricular activities, athletics, theater, music, clubs, field trips, etc., will resume.
• Resuming before- and after-care programs.
• Library and computer labs will reopen.
• Wellness checks and staggered drop-off/pick-up schedules will no longer be required.
• No masks will be required for fully vaccinated students, teachers or staff. Guidance regarding masks for unvaccinated individuals will be released by early August.

There are also updated Student Safety Protocols and vaccination information so please read and review the Archdiocese’s release.

We will update you as events unfold but please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns.
