 Updated COVID-19 Quarantine and Isolation Protocols

An email went out to all school families yesterday
reminding everyone about the current quarantine and
isolation guidelines. This email also explained the
school's shift to contract tracing in the event of a positive
COVID case on campus and provided a "cheat sheet" for
a variety of COVID scenarios.

These documents can be found on the school website
under "News" as well as by clicking "Parent Center" -->
"Important Documents" on the school website.

If your student, or anyone in your household, either has
contact with someone who tested positive for COVID or
tests positive for COVID, please contact the school as
soon as possible. During school hours, call 504-887-
5600. Outside of school hours, email
RHILL@STPHILIPNERI.ORG.

SPN PELICANS NIGHT TO BE RESCHEDULED

SPN Night with the Pelicans, originally scheduled for
February 12, will be moved back to later in the
Pelicans' season.

 ST. PHILIP NERI SCHOOL - 60th ANNIVERSARY MASS

St. Philip Neri School opened for the 1961-1962
school year. We will be celebrating the school's 60th

We are in the beginning of the planning stages for

     POSTPONING, not canceling, some
           upcoming events
There have been numerous cases of students and family
members in our school community testing positive for
COVID and/or being exposed to the virus. We have had
many students and classes miss time on campus in the
past two weeks. It was advised, as we returned from
Christmas break, to postpone large gatherings and

events. Given our first-hand experience, we will put this
advice in action.

Please make no mistake- although we will be
postponing some events for now, the school has every
intention in holding every event on our school calendar
before the end of the school year. It is our sincere hope
that the current wave of COVID breaks soon and we will
reschedule the events listed below. As long as there is a
point this school year when we can gather large groups
safely, we will then do so. We want to celebrate these
special events with our students as much as you do, and
we want our students to experience them.

    Grandparents Club meeting this Thursday has been
    canceled by the Grandparents Club.
    Class pictures will either be rescheduled or we will go
    with composite-style class photos, as we did last
    school year.
    Second Grade First Communion meeting will either
    be rescheduled for an in-person meeting or held
    virtually.
    Third Grade Grandparents Mass is postponed at this
    time. We have not yet determined a reschedule date.
    Seventh Grade Retreat is postponed at this time. We
    plan on holding the retreat on April 1, 2022.

              Principal's Message

Today is the feast day of Sts. Timothy and Titus,
who were called by St. Paul his "sons" in Christ.
Both men dedicated their lives to spreading the
