Administrators at Saint Therese of Lisieux School (Munhall) learned today that a person involved with the first grade class has tested positive for COVID-19. Out of an abundance of caution, first grade students will begin remote learning effective immediately and continue virtually until Friday, December 18, 2020 when their Christmas break begins. All students are scheduled to return to in-person learning on January 4, 2021.
Parents were notified of the need for the transition and will be updated through the school’s regular channels of communication.
Per CDC guidelines, all buildings are regularly cleaned and sanitized. In addition, Saint Therese School continues to follow all diocesan, local, state, and federal health and safety directives, including wearing face coverings, handwashing/sanitizing, social distancing, self-screening, and cleaning/disinfecting.
“"We are sad to have to shift the first grade to remote learning as a precautionary measure but do so with the health and safety of all in mind. We continue to keep all those impacted by COVID-19 in prayer," said Jonathan Cuniak, principal.
