COVID-19 Safety

St. Gregory the Great Catholic Academy recognizes its new public health obligation and the countless challenges we will need to overcome in order to provide the safest achievable environment for your children and our school faculty. We are working with Perrotta Consulting LLC regarding the changing conditions of the COVID-19 Pandemic and government and Diocesan guidelines which require constant updates and changes to procedures and policies this school year and into the future.

-Temperature screening procedures for every student, teacher, and staff member entering the school.

-Full decontamination of each classroom using EPA certified disinfectants, that are completely safe for children, at the conclusion of each school day. The Academy has purchased two fogging machines (and appropriate safe cleaning solutions) to “fog” the building at the end of each day.

- Implementing hand sanitizing stations throughout the building

-Training all faculty and staff in COVID-19 cleaning procedures, protocols, and syndromic surveillance
