As of tomorrow, all employees are required to wear a surgical or N-95 mask. Students are also recommended to wear a non-cloth mask.  2. Masks must be worn both indoors and outdoors unless eating.  3. All students are recommended to sign up for weekly testing every Monday at our school: https://book.covid-testing-today.com/?StJaneFrancesdeChantalSchool *Should cases continue to rise or if there is an outbreak at our school, it is possible that the county will make weekly testing mandatory.  If you or your child has been exposed to someone with COVID or is not feeling 100% healthy, PLEASE stay home. Let us stay vigilant, healthy, and in school! Letters updating you on your completed fundraising and service hours will go out this week.
