Two Diocese of Pittsburgh Catholic Schools will shift to remote learning due to COVID-related issues.
Saint Therese School (Munhall) will be closed for in-person instruction Tuesday, January 11, and Wednesday, January 12, 2022. In-person classes are scheduled to resume on Thursday, January 13, 2022.
Principal Jon Cuniak sent a message to parents informing them about the need for the closure, and detailing procedures for virtual learning. All athletic events (home and away) and extra-curricular activities are also cancelled for January 11 and January 12, 2022.
Communication with school families will be updated as needed through regular channels.
“Thank you for your continued support as we navigate this pandemic together. May God continue to bless and protect our Saint Therese family always,” Cuniak said.
Serra Catholic High School (McKeesport) is also experiencing COVID-related staffing shortages, and has moved to online learning for Tuesday, January 11, and Wednesday, January 12, 2022. Practices and extracurricular activities will continue.
School families were notified of the schedule change and will be updated through regular channels of communication.
“By making this move, we are able to continue to serve our students. We continue to thank our families for their support and flexibility,” said associate principal Robert Childs.
