Dear Walla Walla Catholic School families,

We have experienced great pleasure in welcoming our students and families back into our buildings for in-person instruction these first weeks of school at Assumption. As a result of our successful implementation, as well as support from our students and families, we are able to begin our next phase in.  

Starting next week, our K-2 grade students will move to full day instruction, grades 3-6 will continue with another week of our hybrid (AM/PM cohorts) schedule and finally, our student’s grades 7-12 will begin their first week of in-person hybrid instruction at DeSales!  It brings great satisfaction for us to be able to move in this direction.   

As we continue to be companions in this journey, staying on schedule with our in-person modality depends on the ability of all of us to stay safe and continue to be vigilant with our procedures and protocols.  Becoming too comfortable or relaxing any of our safety procedures will in all likelihood force us back to a remote learning modality.   

In the rest of our newsletter please find information regarding our health screening protocols and reminders for our hybrid phase in.  Also, you will find a chart with updated protocols for various COVID-19 screening situations with responses and requirements for returning to school.

Principal, Walla Walla Catholic Schools

As mentioned above, this week our 7-12 grades will move to our AM/PM Hybrid schedule.  As we begin welcoming students into our high school building, it is important that we become as efficient as possible with our health screening, as well as our picking up and dropping off of students.  We are requiring that parents and students follow strict procedures in these areas. To that end, please click the button below to view our Health Screening and Procedures during this AM/PM Hybrid schedule.

We are asking if at all possible for each student to please complete health screening attestation on Skyward prior to your arrival at school.  Students will still need to have a temperature check clearance but having the other attestation completed will speed up the screening process dramatically.

Our parents and students have done a terrific job following health screenings and check-in procedures at Assumption.  Please click the button below to view some reminders to ensure that we continue to be effective and efficient with those procedures at Assumption.

Thank you to the community members who responded to last week’s “Culture Plus/Delta” form. 

The “Plus/Delta” form is a way that the school can build upon its Culture of Consistency and Correction. When we know what is going well and what needs improvement we will be able to learn and respond more quickly and accurately to the needs of our community. 

Please take a moment to fill out this week’s “Culture Plus/Delta” form and to review our feedback from last weeks form.
