ST. HUBERT CATHOLIC SCHOOL PAGE 3 WELCOME BACK! We have spent the past months preparing to safely welcome our students back for in-person learning. Even though the new normal will look a little different, the heart of a St. Hubert Catholic School and Little Saints Preschool education remains the same; a focus on our faith, our family, and our academics. Our initial reopening procedures are contained in this booklet and identify the key strategies to mitigate health risks to our community and continue with in-person learning. In order to protect everyone in the community, all are encouraged to follow these steps: 1. Wear a mask 2. Wash your hands 3. Practice social distancing 4. Stay home if you are sick A PHASED APPROACH TO RE-OPENING DISTANCE LEARNING Should the need arise for a short-term school closure, all students will continue their learning through distance learning. Grades 4 - 8 will use Google Classroom and grades K - 3 will use SeeSaw. IN-PERSON AND ONLINE HYBRID If building capacity needs to be reduced, St. Hubert can enact a hybrid model in which a portion of the students attend for 2 days per week and learn remotely for 3 days per week. IN-PERSON WITH ONLINE LEARNING AS NEEDED This is the phase we will begin the 2020-2021 academic year. Most students will be in-person, while the option to continue with distance learning is available for those that choose to do so. Those students that need to stay home temporarily will be able to continue with distance learning. IN-PERSON WITH SOME RESTRICTIONS All students are back on campus with no option for distance learning. There will continue to be some restrictions to maintain a healthy environment and limit exposure. IN-PERSON WITH NO RESTRICTIONS (BACK TO "NORMAL") All students on campus without restriction of movement, masking, or spacing requirements. PREPARING FOR FLEXIBILITY St. Hubert Catholic School is prepared to quickly move between the various phases based on the current environment and requirements from the Archdiocese. Should the need to change phase arise, we will update families via email and our school website.

ST. HUBERT CATHOLIC SCHOOL PAGE 8 final notes FAITH + FAMILIES TOGETHER Throughout human history, we have faced and overcome challenges that have threatened our abilities to come together, and this current challenge is no different. As we prepare to begin this new school year, we are confident in our plans to allow for the safe return to school. Although no single strategy will take away all risk, the series of protocols enacted at St. Hubert will work to mitigate the risks associated with the spread. A St. Hubert Catholic School education lays the foundation for a life of excellence and service to others. The absolute best way to build that foundation is through connection with our community. Working together, we will find new and creative ways to continue building that foundation for all of our students regardless of the challenges we face. Together, we will overcome. Join us in praying Pope Francis' prayer to our Blessed Mother for protection: O Mary, you always shine on our path as a sign of salvation and of hope. We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick, who at the cross took part in Jesus' pain, keeping your faith firm. You, Salvation of the Roman People, know what we need, and we are sure you will provide so that, as in Cana of Galilee, we may return to joy and to feasting after this time of trial. Help us, Mother of Divine Love, to conform to the will of the Father and to do as we are told by Jesus, who has taken upon himself our sufferings and carried our sorrows to lead us, through the cross, to the joy of the resurrection. Under your protection, we seek refuge, Holy Mother of God. Do not disdain the entreaties of we who are in trial, but deliver us from every danger, O glorious and blessed Virgin. Amen.
