St Mark School Home

As you know, this summer has been one spent adapting quickly to Covid-19 and planning for its impact on the upcoming school year. The staff spent time in June planning for in-person learning. We will be following safety guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Washington State Department of Health (DOH), and local health departments to take precautions and implement protocols so our school can be opened safely. This week the DOH in Snohomish County recommended virtual or remote learning for all students. St. Mark Parish School is in King County but many of our students live in Snohomish County. The districts in Snohomish County have announced remote learning will be implemented starting in September. The Catholic schools in the Archdiocese have been given a go to go back in person. However, this changes all the time. We have two plans; in person with some families staying at home and watching class and participating through ZOOM if they feel it is not safe for in-person learning and the other plan is to implement remote learning. I am in continual contact with the Archdiocese on this topic and will plan to follow its guidance and recommendations on any changes in the coming weeks.
