Covid reopening Procedures

The uncertain times have the staff at Saint Paul’s Catholic School in unprecedented times.  “We are in this together”!  We are doing as much as possible to keep our students and staff as safe as can be.  The situation is evolving on a daily basis.  As of July 27, 2020,   we have published the following document outlining what we plan on doing to allow for  face to face instruction of students.  Feedback is welcome by appointment or email to Mrs. Beloin.

Application

IMMUNIZATIONS

Immunizations are required before enrolling based on the requirements of the CDC.

P 17 of our handbook:

Each child admitted to St. Paul’s Catholic School must have evidence of a successful vaccination for diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough and polio. Also required is a rubella / rubeola vaccination and tuberculin skin test. Hearing and vision screening are given during the school year when available.  In rare circumstances, the medical and religious exemptions will be considered. The religious exemption will need to be presented to the Pastor of the school.  The Catholic Medical Association states that: “We think that vaccination is a moral good, that it’s good for patients, and that it has benefited society greatly. We have a responsibility as moral agents to protect the common good and to immunize ourselves and our children against communicable disease.”

 

We have a 97.6 % immunization rate as reported in our Immunizations report.

In 2018, the teachers trained in a program called ALICE.  This is a response protocol to a violent intruder.  Learn more by watching this YouTube clip (rating PG):
