St. Joseph Catholic School COVID-19 Prevention Plan  (Updated 8.12.2021)

The State Health Commissioner issued an order requiring all individuals aged two and older to wear masks when indoors at public and private K-12  schools in Virginia, effective Thursday, August 12.

Under the direction of the SJS school administration , the Office of Catholic Schools and the Chancery of the Arlington Diocese, all students, faculty, and staff must wear a mask while indoors regardless of vaccination status, and until further notice.

The moment you step onto the St. Joseph Catholic School campus it’s clear that it is home to a safe, loving and supportive community where students are inspired to be followers of Christ.  We look forward to welcoming our students this year in person.  Tours of the school will resume as soon as possible.  In the meantime, please enjoy a glimpse inside our beautiful school!   

The Office of Child Protection Services works to ensure that all children and youth in programs throughout the diocese have a safe environment full of caring and responsible adults to watch over them.  For more information, please visit  https://www.arlingtondiocese.org/ChildProtection/

Please note that calendar dates and times are subject to change.
