Face Masks Required

Due to the increase in the Delta variant, Cristo Rey Jesuit High School-Twin Cities will continue an indoor mask mandate. All students, regardless of vaccine status, will be required to wear a face mask when inside the school building. The only exception will be when eating lunch. The school continues to ask parents to get their children vaccinated as that is the most effective way to stop the spread of this virus. If your student has been vaccinated and you have not yet submitted a copy of the student's vaccine card, please email a photo of the vaccination card to our Student Wellness Coordinator, Ms. Franco, at kathrynfranco@cristoreytc.org.

If Your Student is Sick

If your student is sick, keep your student home from school and report the student's absence to the school by 7:30 am by emailing angelleon@cristoreytc.org or calling 612-545-9700. If your student is showing two or more symptoms of COVID-19, keep your student home and have your student tested. Your student may return back to school after producing a negative COVID test result. Please inform the school immediately, after receiving your COVID result at kathrynfranco@cristoreytc.org.

COVID Protocol - Exposure to COVID-19

If your student has been in close proximity to a student who tests positive, you will be contacted by the school with the following instructions:

If your child is unvaccinated or partially vaccinated, your child needs to be tested for COVID-19 immediately. If your child tests positive, your child must quarantine at home for 14 days before returning to school. If the test is negative, your student should quarantine at home for 14 days and can return to school after that time if your child has no symptoms of COVID-19. After the 10 days have passed, they can take a COVID test and only return back to school once they have produced a negative test result and show no symptoms

If your child is fully vaccinated and your child has no symptoms, your child does not need to quarantine at home following an exposure and can continue to attend school in person and participate in other activities. The CDC recommends that your child still be tested 3-5 days after exposure. The test results should be sent to Ms. Franco at kathrynfranco@cristoreytc.org.

If your child is in quarantine, the Dean of your student's grade will be in contact with you to ensure that they keep up with their studies.

• Dean Martinez (9th and 10th Grade Dean)

• Dean Mooney ( 11th and 12th Grade Dean)

If you do not hear from the school, then your child has not been exposed. Your child can continue to attend school and does not need to be tested.
