The Blue Angel Weekly

We hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend!

Let's cheer on the Jacksonville Jaguars who made it to the Divisional Round of the 2023 NFL playoffs after a great win this weekend. We will have another Jags dress down for students and staff on Friday, January 20. Students may wear Jags shirts, or teal, black or cheetah print. All dress down days rules apply!

Please continue to pray for Mrs. Urso and her family.

If your child tests positive for COVID, please notify me immediately via email (ddossantos@pcapvb.org).

Anyone who tests positive must stay at home for 5 full days before returning to school on Day 6, provided that there has been no fever for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medicines and that other symptoms are improving. (Please note that the first day of symptoms is considered Day 0.)

Siblings of positive cases may continue coming to school as long as they are not exhibiting ANY symptoms. Please use good judgment when sending siblings to school based on the amount of exposure they have had with the positive sibling.
