CAMPUS REOPENING UPDATE
On Monday, March 1, 2021, Principal Greg VanSlambrook sent an email message to students and families regarding news from the Marion County Public Health Department: high schools now have the flexibility to have students attend school full-time, in person, masked, and seated at least three feet apart in their classrooms. Our Medical Task Force supports our return to full in-person instruction given the very low rates of COVID demonstrated among our Brebeuf Jesuit community, as well as the larger community. Below is the plan we will follow to gradually welcome students back to full-time, in-person instruction at Brebeuf Jesuit:
- Seniors: beginning Monday, March 8
- Juniors: beginning Thursday, March 11
- Sophomores: beginning Wednesday, March 17
We are still in the process of nailing down details regarding adjustments we will be making to the building and the schedule in order to achieve a safe, full reopening. We will notify you of those plans as soon as they are in place. In the meantime, thank you so much for your continued patience, support, and cooperation.
