Dear Saint Ann Families, We are keeping a close eye on the air quality due to the smoke from the wildfires in Jackson and Canada. Forecasts indicate that conditions should improve overnight and we are hopeful that tomorrow will be better. We will continue to hold indoor recess until the outdoor air quality improves. We closed the outdoor air ventilation dampers in our HVAC units, so that outside air is not introduced to our buildings overnight. The air in our buildings will continue to be circulated throughout the night and during the day tomorrow. We will follow the recommendations received from the Diocese of Trenton: 1-All outdoor activities should be avoided. Outside recess periods, outside lunch periods, field days, etc. should remain indoors until such time as the air quality improves. 2-All students should be allowed to wear masks, on a volunteer basis, if the family believes necessary for their student(s). Thank you for your patience during this situation.
