St. Anne Catholic School: Fall Re-Opening Will Be Traditional, Full-Time, At-School. Number of Students Per Class Will Be Limited.

Somerset, WI, June 23, 2020 – St. Anne Catholic School announced they are planning to re-open this fall for traditional at-school learning; the school will return to the customary hours/schedule that existed before the pandemic.

Per the Education Committee, “St. Anne Catholic School plans to re-open in the fall for what we do best—traditional, face-to-face teaching and learning.” St. Anne Catholic School is in an excellent position to re-open due to its small class sizes (in terms of the number of students) and large-size classrooms (to maintain social distancing guidelines). Besides promoting a healthier and potentially safer environment in these unusual circumstances, small class sizes enhance teaching and learning in general.

The smaller-scale footprint of the building, itself, is a manageable setting for the custodial team to efficiently comply with the comprehensive cleaning and disinfecting routine as recommended by the Department of Health.

The Education Committee approved a further safety measure by limiting enrollment to 12 students per grade (K-8) for the upcoming school year. (Two grade levels slightly exceeded that number last year; therefore, if those students re-register, they will be grandfathered in, and social distancing will not be affected.)

St. Anne School welcomes all families, regardless of religious preference. Financial assistance is also available. Acceptance will be on a first-come, first-serve basis.

At present, there is no mandate against the re-opening, however, this is subject to a change in state orders and/or per the direction of the Diocese of Superior.
