STA Back To School NEWS & FAQs
STA COVID Protocol – Effective 2-28-2022
While the COVID vaccine has substantially turned the tide on the current epidemic, the pandemic continues to challenge many aspects of the way we live. STA is diligently working to find the best way to balance the health and safety of students and staff and the need for students to socialize and learn in an environment where they can interact as normally as possible. There are currently several ways to protect our STA school community.
- Vaccination – All eligible persons 12 or older can choose to be vaccinated against COVID. According to the CDC, vaccinated students do not need to wear masks and will not need to quarantine if exposed to COVID.
- Masks – All students and staff will continue to be masked indoors, regardless of vaccination status.
- Physical distancing – The CDC recommends keeping unvaccinated children physically distanced when possible.
- AdequateVentilation – STA purchased air purifiers for every classroom in 2020.
As of now, we look forward to being able to provide a 100% in-person learning experience for our students. Our return to school COVID plan can and likely will change based on positive cases in our school or directives from Marion County or the Archdiocese. We are asking each family to complete the following information to best plan for our return to school.
As always, our goal is the safety of our families and the in-person education of our students. Please look for our Back to School letter coming soon for more details about the 2021-2022 school year.
Thank you for your partnership and understanding. God Bless.
