Updated covid protocol:
Vaccine Cards Request!
Parents of a vaccinated student may send a copy of their child's vaccination card to tpark@stalbert.org or to the school office to the attention of Tatum Park. If your vaccinated child is exposed to a positive case, you will still be contacted if they are within the 3-foot radius of the positive case. Vaccinated students do not need to quarantine. This is optional but would greatly help us in speeding up the process dealing with exposures and quarantining. Thank you!
New Year, New Protocols!
Click the button below to view our 2021-2022 COVID Protocols on what to do upon exposure or a confirmed positive test.
**New Change!**
Although we highly encourage you to make student appointments after school, we are going back to our original policy of allowing students to return to school after their appointments during the school day. We appreciate your cooperation with this throughout our year last year, and hope that the decrease in interruptions throughout the school day will continue as much as possible.

Fall family fun night sponsorship opportunities
We are expecting a big crowd Sept. 18 at Fall Family Fun night, our first community-wide gathering since the pandemic began! This is a great opportunity for you to showcase your business. We need sponsors to offset the cost of the event — which will include food, drinks, games, music and more — so we can raise money for St. Albert’s greenspace.
Two “presenting” sponsorships are available. These businesses or families will be recognized on a banner and by the emcee. The first two businesses/families can secure this sponsorship for $1,000 each, or one business/family can have single-title rights for $1,900.
An unlimited number of sponsorships is available for $150 each. Your logo will be displayed on a large banner beneath the presenting sponsors, and the emcee will recognize you.
Interested? Contact Blair McBride at (502) 664-5590 or blair.mcbride.ky@gmail.com; or Chris Boehnlein at (502) 930-5760 or christopher@familyrealty.com.
