COVID-19

We encourage all members of our extended Mary, Mother of the Redeemers School family to remain diligent in monitoring for Covid 19 symptoms as well as their contact with others who have tested positive, both within and outside of the household.

If symptoms develop, please test.  If you are unsure, please speak to your own health care provider for guidance. 

While masking is not required, masks remain an option for anyone.  Teasing mask wearers or non-wearers will result in disciplinary action.

Please report any student positive test and/or household member positive test to the school office via attendance@mmrschool.org or by calling us at 215-412-7101.  We will be in touch as soon as possible if you contact us after regular school hours. 

Our current Covid-19 protocol is as follows:

If a student tests positive:

• (S)he must quarantine for a minimum of five days*
• The student can return after the fifth day* if (s)he is asymptomatic, including being fever free for 24 hours without medication
• Upon return to school (s)he must remain masked at all times through day ten*. 

• If the student is fully vaccinated and asymptomatic
  • May be in school but must remain masked for ten days*
  • Monitor for symptoms and test immediately if they develop
  • DOH suggests testing on day five even if no symptoms are present
• If the student is NOT fully vaccinated and asymptomatic
  • Quarantine for five days*
  • Testing is recommended on day five
  • Mask in school for days six through ten*
  • If masking is refused, student must quarantine for the full ten days*

*The school office will contact you to determine the time-line for each child’s quarantine and masking individually. It is imperative that you report a positive case or exposure to a household/close contact.   Please report these situations immediately.  The school will do all counting of applicable days.

We will notify parents of new positive cases, by homeroom (PS-Gr.4) or grade (Gr. 5-8) via Blackboard Connect text at the end of the school day beginning Monday, May 9, 2022.

We reserve the right to alter this protocol if infection rates worsen.
