HFE

Hays Catholic Schools, TMP-Marian and Holy Family Elementary will be in Onsite Learning for the week of 9/28 - 10/2.

HFE has two confirmed cases of COVID-19, 8 students quarantined and 4 students absent due to COVID-19 like symptoms. Holy Family has made the decision that 6B will go to remote learning through Thursday, October 8, 2020 due to potential exposure. The rest of the school will remain in Onsite Learning.

Holy Family’s decision was made after conferring with the Ellis County Health Department and school leaders. Affected students/parents have been communicated with regarding their children’s remote learning as necessary.

TMP-Marian is not currently addressing any positive cases, and 5 students are in quarantine due to potential exposure.

While decisions regarding the method of learning (onsite, hybrid, or remote) are made based on our established plan and collaboration with others, we do however have the discretion to change the mode of instruction in the event of clusters of infection or loss of staffing.

Mrs. Wentling, Mr. Meitner and Mr. Andrews continue to be in regular communication with Ellis County health officials, local educational leaders and medical professionals to determine the phase of education for our students. This collaborative group daily monitors local COVID positive numbers to continue to safely educate our students according to data which consists of medical statistics and community/parent feedback.
