Reopening & Coronavirus COVID-19 Information
St. Athanasius Families:
Thank you for your continued support of our teachers and school. As routines are now established and we are back into the swing of things, it is easy to feel like we are "back to normal." We are far from normal. We need to stay vigilant and continue to wear masks with fidelity, complete our daily wellness checks, and stay home when we are sick. Additionally, social distancing and masks should be in place outside of school. This is how we will continue to be successful with in person learning. Please refer to our most recent eRed News for detailed information regarding return to school protocols for illness.
This is the time to schedule or obtain your flu vaccine! The flu is a viral infection of the respiratory tract which may cause symptoms very similar to those of COVID19. Our goal is to keep students and staff healthy and in school. Visit the Arch website for more information regarding flu prevention this year.
