Virtual Learning Update 1-18-22Dear Families,
We are going to extend our Virtual Learning thru Monday and Tuesday, for all students. We will return to in-person on Wednesday, January 26th. All students and staff will need to mask Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. We will also be having lunches in our classrooms for that week as well as distancing as much as possible.
K-2 will have material ready for pick up on Friday from 8:00-3:30 in the afternoon. If you have any questions please call the school office at 260-483-8214.
Many thanks and God's blessings. Stay safe, stay healthy and pray often.

January 17-21, 2022Recent high rates of COVID cases and contact tracing for both our students and our staff have caused us to have to go virtual this week!
If your student tests positive, or has been in contact with someone else who has tested positive, please report this by going to the appropriate link on this page. This allows us to do proper contact tracing and determine their return date back to school.
We look forward to seeing most of our K-8 students on Monday, January 24th, and most of our Preschool students on Tuesday, January 25th.**If you have been contacted by us that your child is to quarantine, but do not remember his/her return date, please call us at 483-8214 to find out for sure. If you don't reach us, email Mrs. Gillett at sheila.gillett@queenofangelsschool.com.

Daily Parent Screening Tool
In Summary:- The Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend (DFWSB) does not mandate COVID-19 vaccinations for students or staff; yet encourages all eligible individuals to get COVID-19 vaccinated.
- Masking/Face Coverings are Optional during the normal school day (exception: on school busses or in school-sponsored transportation vehicles)
- The DFWSB encourages all unvaccinated students and staff to wear masks/face coverings
- When possible, keep physical distance to a minimum of three (3) feet.
- Hand Hygiene will be promoted (especially before and after meals, recess, sharing supplies, use of equipment, going to the restroom, etc.)
- A Daily Cleaning schedule for routine cleaning, high-touch surfaces, and even where sick individuals have been present, will be followed.
- Parents should monitor their children daily (use the "Daily Parent Screening Tool" above) and keep students home if symptoms of COVID-19 or other illnesses are present.
- Schools will send home any student they believe has COVID-19 symptoms and encourage parents to get a COVID-19 test.
- All Fully vaccinated asymptomatic students and staff do NOT need to quarantine following exposure to a positive person (but should self-monitor for symptoms for 14 days).
- Close contacts who are unvaccinated MUST quarantine.
- Our school will continue to monitor the spread of Covid-19 in our area and respond accordingly as recommended through the "mitigation prevention strategies" listed in the above letters.
