Return to School Update for January 2022

Return to School Update 

St. Thomas More will resume school as planned on Monday, January 3rd, 2022 as we continue to adhere to CDC and VDH guidance for operating safely and minimizing COVID-19 spread in our school community.

We will also be updating our isolation and quarantine procedures to align with recent recommendations from the CDC. The least restrictive quarantine policies are for those who are fully vaccinated within the last 6 months.

As always, please be mindful of the honor system within our daily health attestation. Do not send children to school with symptoms of illness, adhere to our doctor’s clearance policy for students who are out ill, and do not send children to school who are pending results of a covid test. 
 

It remains important that if your student tests positive that you check in with the school clinic either by email at [email protected] or by phone at 703-528-6781x228 for information on returning to school.
