In addition to the (2) drinks, one for snack time and the other for lunch time, please send in a thermos for water breaks throughout the day.

 “Pope Francis has made it clear vaccinating is morally acceptable and that we have the moral
responsibility to get vaccinated. Cardinal Dolan has said the same. There is no mandate by the
Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of New York to be vaccinated, unless required by Government
Health Officials. Individuals are free to exercise discretion.”

FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES EACH DAY TO DETERMINE IF YOUR CHILD IS ABLE TO ATTEND
SCHOOL
Parents should take their child’s temperature every day before their child leaves for school. If your child
has a fever of 100.0 or over, your child should be kept home from school. A fever is a key symptom of
COVID-19. You should ask your child if he/she has any other symptoms of COVID-19 (see below). If
your child complains of these symptoms or has a fever, or you answer yes to a question in section two,
please, keep them home, call your child’s doctor and contact the school to report your child’s absence. If
your child is sick with a common cold or other ailment your child should stay home until symptoms
subside and they are fever free. Those with symptoms must be tested for COVID-19 before returning
to school per the NYS DOH School Toolkit. We also strongly encourage everyone to get the COVID-19
vaccine if eligible, as well as the FLU vaccine. In NYC, Children 59 months (4 years old 11 months) and
under are mandated by NYC DOH to receive the Flu Shot by Dec 31st
.

_______ fever or chills – Is fever 100.0°F or higher?
_______sore throat, congestion, or runny nose?

allergies, or an asthmatic cough, is there a change in their cough from baseline?)
_______diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting?

_______ fatigue, muscle or body aches; loss of taste or smell?
People with COVID-19 have had a wide range of symptoms reported – ranging from mild symptoms to
severe illness. Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. People with these symptoms
may have COVID-19. This list does not include all possible symptoms. CDC will continue to update this
list as they learn more about COVID-19. https://www.cdc.gov.
