We here at St. Helena have enhanced the methods and procedures used in the daily cleaning and sanitizing of our church and school, with more frequent use of disinfectants. In the vent that St. Helena School has a student, teacher, or staff member who tests positive for the Corona Virus, we will close the school for a minimum of 48 hours in order to fully assess the situation and to ensure that a full sanitization is carried out by qualified licensed cleaning professionals as outlined by CDC disinfection guidelines. Remember that anyone returning from international travel (U.S. Territories excluded) must receive medical clearance to return to school, religious education classes, or youth ministry programs . Additionally, as per CDC requirements, students and school personnel returning from Italy, China, South Korea, and Iran are required to remain home for 14 days from the date you return to New York City AND provide a letter of medical clearance from a licensed medical professional before you will be allowed to return to school, religious education classes, or youth ministry.
