The St. Francis Racial Reconciliation Plan: Healing Our Community – 3/26/21
We’ve been talking a lot about our Racial Reconciliation Plan recently. It is an action plan, with a focus on healing racial divisions through confronting the racism in our community. The plan touches every corner of campus by dividing the work among nine subcommittees. These subcommittees work together to achieve the goals set out in the plan, which we hope to accomplish over the course of three years:
Mandatory COVID Screening for Red Cohort and Students Currently on Campus 4-Days a Week
A reminder that students currently in the Red Cohort and those approved for 4 days a week on campus will need to go through COVID screening on Sunday, April 11th from 1:00-5:30 p.m. in order to return to campus for in-person instruction on Monday, April 12th. Any student who’s unable to get screened, will not be allowed on campus.
Proof of COVID Vaccine Shots for Non-Participation in COVID Screening
Students who received both COVID vaccinations, with 14 days or more after the second dose, will no longer need to participate in the weekly COVID screening. A copy of the proof of vaccinations (vaccine card or doctor’s note) must be emailed directly to Cynthia Cost (Dean of Students) at ccost@stfrancishs.org.
Campus Closed During Easter Break
Our campus will be closed in observance of Easter from April 1-11, 2021. We will resume normal business hours on Monday, April 12th.
