We are pleased to share our official Protocols and Procedures document to begin the 2020-2021 Academic Year. This document was developed by the administrative team with the full support of the Board of Trustees following months of hard work, discussions with members of our community, thorough analysis, surveys, and consultation with experts. As you know, health and safety recommendations are subject to change and this document and the protocols and procedures within are accurate as of today. Any changes will be communicated with the Frassati Catholic community.

We would like to thank our community for their questions and feedback following our message on Tuesday. Today, we would like to address a few of the most frequently asked questions we have received ahead of a more in-depth protocols and procedures update scheduled for Friday, July 31.

Our decision to provide in-person education has been approved unanimously by the Board of Trustees, is supported by months of discernment, diligent research, consultation with families, faculty and staff, and fully recognizes that a return to normal, while greatly desired, omits the reality that COVID-19 is still a serious health concern for portions of the population, including some of our faculty and staff members. It is essential to acknowledge that while in-person instruction is the best educational option to support the social, psychological, emotional, and spiritual well-being of our students, we must also provide appropriate balance by instilling a community-wide commitment to support a safe and healthy school environment. Minimizing the inherent risks of in-person education will be the responsibility of every member of our community, both at home and on-campus.

We are very thankful for this touching video tribute from the Class of 2020. They wanted to thank the faculty, staff, and community for helping make their time at Frassati Catholic so special. We will truly miss the Class of 2020.
