Based on the increased number of positive COVID cases in San Antonio, St. James the Apostle Catholic School will continue to follow our current, more cautionary guidelines, which include our 7 -10 day quarantine period. We will also follow the stricter guideline, which states that after 6 months of receiving the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine, an individual is no longer considered fully vaccinated until he/she receives a COVID booster. The booster is now available for 12 -15 year olds. Our goal is to keep everyone healthy, safe, and in school. Thank you for your cooperation and support. We love you, St. James!
1. Please stay home if you are feeling ill and email Mrs. Uranga, Dr. G, and your child’s teacher. Thank you for seeing a physician.
2. If you have been in close contact with anyone or have tested positive for COVID, please stay home and email Dr. G. I will personally call you with love and care to help you through this process. You are also welcome to submit the online COVID reporting form, which comes directly to me - https://www.stjamesschoolsa.or
g/covid-19-reporting-form 3. COVID vaccinations are strongly encouraged. It may not entirely prevent the virus, but it will decrease symptoms, may prevent the need to quarantine, and will help keep others safe.
