Dear St. Monica Academy Families,

We celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month starting today, September 15 until October 15, to recognize the achievements and contributions of Hispanic American champions who have inspired others to achieve success.  The observation began in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Johnson and was expanded by President Reagan in 1988 to cover a 30-day period.  https://www.archives.gov/research/hispanic

Student Absences:  Please continue to report student absences to the school office along with symptoms.  All symptomatic individuals must remain home, regardless of vaccination status.  Families are obligated to report Covid-19 diagnoses, or close contact cases, to the school office.  If anyone in your household is Covid positive, please email me or call the school to report any cases.  If symptoms last longer than 24 hours, an individual must receive a negative COVID-19 test or alternative medical diagnosis prior to returning to school.  Any individual who tests positive for Covid-19 must isolate for 10 days from the date symptoms first appeared or the date of a positive test result. Please contact me if you have any questions
