Dear SRLA Families,
Clarification Regarding Executive Order 253 and Lifting of Mask Mandate at Archdiocesan Schools
The following message was sent by the Archdiocese and outlined here for your information.
The recent announcement that the mask mandate currently in place in all schools in New Jersey will be lifted as of March 7.
Although the announcement from the Governor’s office states that masks will no longer be required for staff or visitors, the Archdiocese of Newark remains cognizant of concerns raised by our school communities. The safety of our students and their families, as well as faculty and staff, remains our
utmost concern.
Therefore, until further notice, it remains the policy of the Archdiocese of Newark that masks will continue to be required for school administrators, staff, and volunteers who have not submitted proof of full vaccination, as enabled by New Jersey Executive Order 253.
School visitors and commercial vendors also are required to wear a mask in school buildings, regardless of vaccination status.
Please make sure that those who have not submitted proof of full vaccination, commercial vendors, and visitors are aware of this clarification.
The Archdiocese of Newark will continue to monitor circumstances and may require masks of all if conditions change, such as if there is an increase in COVID-19 cases within the school or local community, or a new statewide mandate.
Should you have any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.
Thank you,
Principal Tina Underwood
