Greetings St. Clare of Montefalco families,
 
It was a great week for the school in my absence. The school chugged along smoothly under Ms. Cooley’s leadership. The entire staff continued as they always do, demonstrating their support by making adjustments when they were needed. This demonstrates the outstanding learning community St. Clare of Montefalco is. I sure did miss seeing everyone and was so pleased to see all the smiles at Drop Off this morning.
 
COVID Travel
The MDHHS no longer has quarantine recommendations, for vaccinated or unvaccinated persons, related to international or domestic travel. This means everyone returning from travel should still symptom monitor for 10 days upon return but do not need to quarantine unless they are symptomatic. Masking is advised. 
COVID Testing/Masking
Students are bringing multiple antigen tests home with them today. Please use over break. Save one for Sunday, April 24^th to administer the evening before returning to school. This will help assure negative status of everyone in the school building. Students will wear masks the first week back in case positive cases occur in the school. We will be able to remain face to face if students are exposed that first week.
