This is Vis Together: School Reopening Plan

Visitation School is eager to welcome students back for on-campus instruction. Our abundance of space, expansive buildings, 65 acre campus and small class sizes allow us to offer on-campus instruction in a unique way. While this school year will be like no other, we remain committed to our mission to provide an excellent, Catholic education. As always, the health and well-being of our students, families, faculty and staff will continue to be our top priority as we navigate our return to campus.

In creating the plan, we followed guidance from the Minnesota Department of Health, Centers for Disease Control, the Archdiocese and outside experts. As guidance shifts, we will be monitoring and adjusting this plan accordingly.

Visitation Shifts Learning Levels

Visitation School will move to remote learning for one week following the Thanksgiving break and one week following the Christmas break. To be in the best position to continue to provide in-person instruction for the long term, we believe that adding this remote learning will provide a natural quarantine period for families to monitor for symptoms. These times call for flexibility and as the situation evolves, we will communicate any further changes as necessary.

Beginning December 7, Visitation will shift to Learning Level Three which includes five days a week, in-person instruction for Lower and Middle School while Upper School will shift to a hybrid/cohort model that will rotate students in and out of the building. This is a short-term shift to keep families safe and mitigate Covid-19 spread in our school community prior to the Christmas holiday. Please know that we have not made these decisions lightly, and we understand that remote learning, even for a short period of time, creates challenges for families.
