Masking Policy Update

As of February 16, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Erie Catholic School System has made the decision to rescind the mandatory masking policy for all employees and students. This decision was made in conjunction with the consistent four-week decline of new COVID-19 cases in Erie County and will be effective immediately.

Masking will be required if a student was exposed to someone with COVID-19 and returns to school after quarantine. Schools will continue to follow guidance on quarantine and isolation during the pandemic. As per our current protocol, if the number of positive COVID-19 cases within the school reaches or exceeds 5% of the student population, mandated masking will be reinstated.
