ST JOSEPH SCHOOL KINDERGARTEN ROUND-UP: Will

your child be attending kindergarten in the fall of 2021? Please

consider joining the St. Joe’s School family! Kindergarten Par-

ent Tours will be held on Tuesday, March 23rd and Thursday,

March 25th from 5-7pm with either Mrs. Roling or Mrs. Riede-

sel. Each tour/private meeting will be 15 minutes. These tours

are in lieu of the parent meeting that is usually held. Please call

the school office (659-3812) to schedule your tour. Due to

COVID, we ask that only parents attend the tour. We also ask

that you bring your child's birth certificate, baptismal certifi-

cate, and immunization records. Financial aid information will

be available during the tour as well. We hope your soon-to-be

kindergartener will be a part of our school family!

THE MASK CONFUSION: Recently there has been increased

confusion regarding masks. Masks are still required, along with

social distancing and sanitizing in preventing COVID-19.

Many news sites are now suggesting double masks are needed.

The Faith Community Health Team would like to caution you

that news sources may not be giving you the complete informa-

tion. Double masks are not double protection. Rather, there are

two ways to make sure your mask provides the best protection.

First, make sure your mask fits snuggly against your face cover-

ing your nose, mouth, and chin without gaps. A nose wire to

shape your mask to your face prevents gaps. Second, your mask

must have a least two layers of tightly woven material. You can

also choose to wear a disposable mask with at least two layers

or a double layer of tightly woven fabric. You should never

combine two disposable masks. For more information visit the

Centers for Disease Control website at: https://www.cdc.gov/
