Students and staff
Our school will continue to take every precaution necessary. This may include spraying classrooms, hallways, locker rooms, and common areas, as needed, with a sanitizer, along with other methods of disinfection. ACTIONS YOU CAN TAKE We recommend taking action to help limit the spread of COVID-19, even if staff members or students are not experiencing symptoms:
Get vaccinated.
Wear a mask (covering mouth and nose) while in public places or if people who do not live with you must visit your home.
Practice social distancing (maintaining a distance of 6 feet apart).
Practice frequent handwashing (using soap for 20 seconds or hand sanitizer with 60% alcohol).
Avoid large indoor gatherings.
Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue or with the inside of your elbow and immediately wash your hands.
Stay home if you are sick; you can also get tested.
Answer the phone if the health department contacts you, as a contact tracer may be trying to reach you with important information.
This information does not mean you should quarantine or isolate. Those members of the School Community who were or are suspected to have been in Close Contact with a School-Associated Case will be notified by St. Mary Catholic School and/or the Oakland County Health Department. Thank you for understanding that, due to medical privacy laws, we are not able to release the names of the individuals with COVID-19. We will continue to communicate changes and updates with you. With your participation, we believe we can maintain a safe environment while also providing quality education. If you have any questions, contact the Oakland County Health Department at 248-858-1280.
