COVID-19 Response
-
At Trinity Catholic School, we are committed to providing our students with an uninterrupted education while in a safe and healthy environment.
Our priorities are:- Safety: Mitigating and slowing the growth of COVID-19 in the context of a return to
work and schools. Understanding that there is an inherent risk in returning from social
distancing while in a pandemic, we also understand that we are part of a societal decision
that accepts balancing COVID-19 risk against the need for life to continue. - Presence: Keeping school open daily. We do not want to burden parents with
challenging schedules that require them to stay home and out of work - we want our
students at school, in their cohorts, for the full day. This is good for the children’s mental
health and social growth. - Growth: Despite limitations, we want our children to continue their academic progress
at grade level in their faith and in all core academic standards.
Trinity Catholic School reserves the right to change healthcare protocols based on evolving COVID-19 research.
