Are students required to wear a mask?
Yes! All students and employees will be required to wear a mask while on campus. Governor Polis, along with Tri-County Health, has mandated mask-wearing because research and science show that wearing a mask is critical to slowing the spread of the virus, especially in indoor spaces. Arrupe Jesuit will provide a disposable mask if a student should forget their mask or should their mask break.

All employees and students will be required to undergo screening upon entering the school building. This includes answering a set of questions and taking a temperature test.

What happens if there is a confirmed case of COVID on campus?
If a student or employee has a confirmed case of COVID-19, Arrupe Jesuit will work closely with Tri-County Health to determine appropriate action.
The school has a designated space in the building to isolate anyone who becomes ill or presents with symptoms during the day. Contact tracing will take place to help identify those who may have come in contact with the ill or infected person. Those who are ill or with a known exposure must self-quarantine for 14 days before returning to campus.
