Covid-19 Vaccine

Now that the Covid vaccine is approved for children 5 and over, we wish to share some insight about how this affects school.

HT will not require the Covid 19 vaccine for students at this time.
If the state requires the Covid-19 vaccine for students (like the DTaP, Polio, MMR, Hepatitis), HT will work with the Department of Catholic Schools to implement any guidelines.
If you chose for your student to receive the vaccine, the school does not need proof.

Having your child(ren) receive the Covid-19 vaccine is a family decision. We do encourage it for the safety of all of students and staff. A compelling reason to have your child(ren) receive the vaccine is that your child will NOT have to quarantine if exposed to a positive Covid case.

Vaccinated students and staff do not have to quarantine if exposed to a positive Covid case; they need to watch for symptoms as they continue their normal schedule.
This means no 10 day quarantine from school or sports or other events. No missed school and learning!

CASE Training

We are hosting CASE training this week. This is a required class for all new volunteers. You only have to take this class one time. To ensure social distancing, we are capping each session at 50 people. Please RSVP here to sign up for the training.
